Review summary

Good I’m all. I would like to say that this review was not to discourage anyone from sailing and we solemnly loved the cruise it’s self and the ports. Highly recommend.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

We are onboard in a Star Class suite. We contact our genie before the sailing and he assures us the embarkation will be easy. Fast forward to Sunday, we are arriving to the port and first impressions were terrible! Port employees yelling and shouting for us to go to different directions, not much care for our bags after we got being the Star Class desk. We get directed up to the doors and our genie greets us. We are then told we can go aboard the ship. Keep in mind the genie is supposed to make you feel like you are “the most important guest onboard.” He was rushing us with other Star class guests to the suit lounge and was walking at a pretty fast speed and had no regard for us being first time royal cruisers.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was great! Went to a speciality restaurant every night and they were all wonderful!! I would not really recommend the Coastal Kitchen for breakfast because it felt like we were being rushed out. Keep in mind that was the suite only resultant and should feel like a 5 star restaurant.

Bionic Bar

5 out of 5

Awesome to see the arms making all sorts of drinks!

Windjammer Marketplace

4 out of 5

Great food, they had 1 side closed a lot which lead to a lot of cramming.

Wonderland

5 out of 5

Loved the presentations and the food tasted great!!! Highly recommend on the fist night!

Sabor Bar

2 out of 5

The staff was not personable at all and did not acknowledge your existence or if anyone was there. Would recommend going to a different bar instead of this one.

Room Service

5 out of 5

Our genie made this seamless and it was really amazing how good from any restaurant could be delivered to your room!

Coastal Kitchen

3 out of 5

Great for dinner, not great for breakfast.

Chops Grille

5 out of 5

Amazing foods and great staff, felt a little too formal at times.

Chef's Table

4 out of 5

Top of the line cooking, it was a TON of food. There are around 6-8 courses and the last 3 are main dishes. They were all full sized and there was a lot of food that was waisted.

Cafe Promenade

5 out of 5

Delicious food! Highly recommend for a snack or light lunch.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Lots of fun on the water slides and the many pool options to choose from. The top deck was nice because it had loungers that never were full so you would easily grab one and stay the whole day with out having many people around you. We did not have a problem in the suite deck, exceptional service.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Center Ice Rink

2 out of 5

The experience was not great. Did not enjoy the show, like I said either the aqua theater, it was more like a talent show not a story line. The story it’s self was pretty bad and jumbled over the place.

Aquatheater

4 out of 5

Food performances, i would like to see more of a story line and not so much of a talent show.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
