Review summary

My wife is a travel agent so we've been on a lot of cruises and destination vacations, all-inclusives, etc..... This has seriously been the WORST VACATION OF MY ADULT LIFE!!!!! There were children everywhere, in every space of the ship day and night. There were no bars designated as adult only. Good example: Went to watch karaoke in a bar at night, half of the seats IN THE BAR were filled with CHILDREN, while dozens of adults had to stand. Disgusting waste of my time, money and I was not able to de-stress while on vacation. In fact, here I sit at work, even more stressed than when I left for vacation. Now I have to wait 6 months before I can go on a relaxing vacation. It won't be with Royal Caribbean I assure you.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

No issues, standard.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Dining room experience was not good at all, our meals took 2 to 2-1/2 hours because our waitresses would disappear for 30 to 45 minutes at a time. The buffets were much better food and it was way quicker to eat and get out. Couldn't get a drink in a bar without a bunch of screaming crying brats annoying you, because there are no Adults only bars on that ship.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Too many children everywhere to access these areas. Royal Caribbean made no effort to make the cruise enjoyable for adults with no children. This cruise is a daycare, all day and night, everywhere on the ship.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Shows and entertainment were ok. Their headliner comedian would have been funny but he is a flaming libtard, bashing on my President and praising Canadia's Trudeau........ Also he is proud to have been born the same day as Jane Fonda........... So basically he sucked.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Best room attendant we have ever had, service otherwise was decent as well. Dining really ruined our evenings with horrible service until we switched to the buffet.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Nice ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

We had the fake balcony set up, it was pretty good, room was larger than we have had in the past.

Ship tip

If you don't want to be in a daycare all day and night, go cruise somewhere else. So many children in every nook and cranny of the ship and every bar at every hour day and night. This was far and away the worst vacation of my adult lifetime. I will not be returning to Royal Caribbean after this trip.
