Review summary

The ship was beautiful and definitely had a lot of activities however the food was just okay, my bed was horrible, I woke up with a sore back every day and had to take Tylenol for the pain. Wendy was the lady that cleaned my room everyday but she never made towel figurines for us and I look forward to those when I cruise. Overall all it was a nice cruise and my next cruise with Royal will be the Oasis of the Seas and then I probably won't cruise with them again.

That was a nice cabin to have for that cruise only because I could watch the balloon drop on New Year's Eve and the street party that they had on the last night from my cabin. I probably won't book the cabin again.

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

That was my first time going out of that port and it was so unorganized.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

We didn't get to go to the port due to weather and the captain could not pull the ship in so he decided to not port there. I did not get my port fees back even though I know it's not much but we should be compensated for that.

Cozumel, Mexico
