Review summary

Really good experience. RC know what they are doing and do it very well.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very speedy and slick.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Always great food, thought there might be problems with queuing for the main dining room, but no - it was fine.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Flowrider is a must. The pools are a bit small but ok for splashing about.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Top class West End quality shows. In our opinion not as good as Symphony of the Seas but that is personal preference.

Children's Programs

Children were not interested in joining them

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Very good throughout.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Spotless everywhere all the time. Great credit because the ship was full with 8,500+ people on board.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This was fine. Would always like a bigger cabin especially as there was 4 of us sharing - but that was our choice down to price.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5

Just used to embark and disembark

Thumbs Up 0

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5

Not really a fan of Nassau.

Thumbs Up 0

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5

Port was fine, did a trip to Magens Beach - good but overrated

Thumbs Up 0

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5

Port was fine. A trip to Maho Beach was something different and worth it. The beach was very crowded though.

Thumbs Up 8

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5

Probably our favourite port, very Spanish feel and friendly. More in the way of decent souvenirs, not the usual tourist tat.

Thumbs Up 6

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5

Loved it here, although a bit like a theme park and expensive.

Thumbs Up 1

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Took about 5 minutes and straight into a taxi. Excellent.
