Review summary
This was my 4th cruise and my first with Royal Caribbean. The food was mediocre at best. We didn't have one single stand out meal during our week long cruise.
Service was poor. They constantly seemed understaffed causing long lines and waits at every bar and buffet. Attitudes of the bartenders were awful, likely related to being understaffed.
The cruise ships private island in Labaddee was so overpriced. No activity was included. Just to go down the water slide one time was $30 per person.
I will never cruise with Royal Caribbean again.
