We enjoyed this short trip to the Caribbean. Overall, we were happy with the room, the staff, the food, and the ship. I don't we'll cruise again from Tampa, as the ships are smaller. And we'll take longer cruises to avoid so many kids/teens. We also probably won't sail with Royal Caribbean again, as the other lines tend to cater more to adults. But let's see.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Very easy and smooth
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Much of the food was great. We kept mostly to the main dining room. Desserts could be improved, but overall, good food. Our experience at the specialty Asian restaurant was pretty awful, and that was on my birthday, so it was disappointing.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
We appreciated the trivia in the Schooner Bar. I would have liked more fitness classes. The adult pool area was a nice escape from the many kids and teenagers on this particular cruise.
Entertainment
We didn't attend any of the entertainment.
Children's Programs
We are not and do not have children.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The service staff were great, especially at breakfast. We had fun with quite a few of them. Our dinner staff wasn't the best, as one was trying hard but his English was incomprehensible and the other didn't want to be there (we had a long conversation with him about that).
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
It was a smaller, older ship, but it was nice nonetheless. Very clean and well maintained.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
We weren't sure what we'd think about an interior room. It was just fine, but the walls were paper thin. We felt like our neighbors were in the room with us, and they weren't all that loud. I think we'll spring for a balcony room from now on.
