Amazing!!! This trip was everything we could have hoped for and more! The food was excellent and you have so many delicious options on board the ship. All the common areas were kept clean and well maintained. Staff were actively seen wiping down surfaces, hand rails, and other high touch point areas. As a photographer, I loved seeing the Underwater Photography Portraits in a Circular arrangement displayed on the stairways.
The main dining rooms are all exquisite. The Windjammer Buffet welcomes you on board with a beautiful impressive spread of all you can eat fresh food, and specialty restaurants (Izumi, Chop Grille, and Wonderland) were an absolute treat.
If you visit Jamaica I highly recommend the Royal Carribean excursion Accessible Ochos Rios Garden and Zoo. We had an amazing guide who sang the Banana Boat song and served us fresh Jerk Chicken.
truly had the BEST deal for our cruise. It almost seemed to good to be true, we were worried it was a scam website! Thankfully we had a great experience. We were impressed by Ed who helped sign us up and we got complimentary gratuities, an onboard $$ credit, and a beautiful balcony.
Pro tip! Take beautiful photos throughout your trip instead of facing the lines at formal night portraits. There are a TON of amazing opportunities! Remember to treat the staff kindly. Most importantly, have fun!!

Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
The pools and hot tubs are amazing! We enjoyed the scrapbooking activity on board the ship very much, and wanted to thank the instructor who held the class for us in such a lovely manner. We also liked the dance classes next to the pool activities! My Grandma and I even got in some rounds of ping pong on the sports deck.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Live music at Boleros from Jazz to latin dance to Carribean: the entertainment is all wonderful. We LOVED the Whitney Houston tribute show. We particularly enjoyed dancing from our balcony along with the latin music party happening on the boardwalk.
Children's Programs
No children, childfree for life.
Service and Staff

Ronnie and Charleston provided some of the most incredible dining service experiences we've had. Such attention to detail! We were impressed by their speed and courtesy in taking care of our table. On a special dining night, Ronnie even took the time to personally cut open the lobster dish for each of us in his section! We were blown away by the main dining experience, even having had specialty dining reserved, we wanted to come back just to see Ronnie and Charleston, because they are fantastic.
We want to personally thank Sigit, our room steward, from the bottom of our heart for showing such care and generosity with his knowledge on folding animal towels to make our stay the most memorable trip of a lifetime. My Grandma LOVED her little army of towel animals and still raves about them to to this day. Sigit knows how to do it all! We saw him taking care of the balconies as well in addition to the rooms. He demonstrated such kindness at every interaction and we greatly appreciate his hospitality.
Liang from the Cafe Promenade was so welcoming and nice! She served us smoked salmon crossiant sandwiches and even brought us more to our table. We saw her actively engaging with guests and tidying up the dining area. She is a bright light in our trip!
Federico from the Focus Photography gallery is an amazing photographer! He was engaging, creative, and open to trying out some of our crazy ideas that he transformed into cherished memories through photography.

Ship tip
Get ready for the getaway you've been waiting for! Pack sunscreen and cash for tips!
We loved getting to experience Jamaica on an excursion to Ochos Rios Accessible Falls trip through Royal Caribbean. You get to see the luscious tropical gardens, zoo, and waterfalls! Richard was our tour guide extraordinaire! He was full of energy, historical facts about Jamaica, and really brought the Island trip to life through music and song. Yes, he even sang the famous Banana boat song! Our tour was fantastic. We do wish they had provided more assistance for accessibility (some kind guests helped us lift the walker). Lunch was delicious! Richard himself helped serve us Jerk meals and drinks. The views you get on the journey to Ochos Rios showed many different resilient and beautiful parts of Jamaica and were incredible. The bus had air conditioning too. Best excursion!
