Review summary

We had an excellent time and would highly recommend this ship if one can afford it. I think if I had it to do over I would choose different ports to visit. This same ship goes to other ports so that would be easy to do.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy even for those new to Royal Caribbean

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We loved the Windjammer buffet. The Main Dining room food seemed a little bland, although the service was wonderful.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The Flow Rider was tried by my husband. The people helping were excellent and he had a great time. There seemed to be many activities for children and teens. We enjoyed the shows and bars.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We saw all of the available shows and loved them all.

Children's Programs

No children. Although, I enjoyed seeing shrek and the other characters on board.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service can't be beat! Our room steward was fabulous!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The most amazing feature of this ship is the fact that with 8000 plus people on board, we never felt crowded. The public places: Central Park, Boardwalk, and the Promenade Deck were spacious and welcoming.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This was a wonderful cabin. We enjoyed having both a Boardwalk view and an ocean view. Having the last cabin on the hall meant we also had a great view of the Aqua Theater. Storage was ample. We even had drawers we didn't use.

Ship tip

Be prepared for the cost. Everything is extra. Our final cost was almost twice what it would have been on other cruise lines. Also, the All Access Ship Tour was informational. We really liked it.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
Easy on and off with use of the mobile passport.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

2 out of 5
Our excursion here got cancelled. So, we did not see much. There is not much to do right at the port.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
Our excursion was a land and sea tour. It was good. The sea part was better than the land part. It would have been better if it included a tour of Old San Juan or showed parts of the island still needing assistance.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Although one of our tours got cancelled, we greatly enjoyed the Paradise Cove and Haitian village one.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
The mobile Passport app really helps speed this up.
