Review summary

Perfect weather never hurts! The My Time Dining was a little confusing - we were told different things on different nights - like what time our reservation was, what table we had. But it all worked out. Though we had no kids with us, the kids water park is great for them and the Flow Ryder and adult water slide is impressive. Also fun was the men's Belly Flop contest, lol!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We were totally satisfied with the food in the main dining and buffets (we didn't try any of the specialty...)

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

We didn't do any of the activities (we were looking for just relaxation) But it was entertaining to watch the FlowRyder!!

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We have always found Royal Caribbean's talent to be the best. The ice dancers and stage show were excellent. The piano bar performer, David, was so sharp - very entertaining.

Children's Programs

We didn't have kids with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone is so polite and friendly and willing to help if we needed anything.

Ship Quality

Fun Royal Promenade! We find this cruise line to be the best in maintenance and cleanliness - nothing lays around for long!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Super clean. Although not large, the room was very well laid out - loved how the big angled wall mirror worked with the vanity in the bedroom - full view from all angles.
