Embarkation

It was a smooth sailing. No lines.. We only had to wait 15- 20 mins for our 3 year old child test results. By the time to got on the ship our rooms were ready and our luggage was already waiting for us.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Our first 2 nights we ate at the main dining room and both nights the food was amazing. The prime ribeye, salmon and the NY steak was our favorite. On the 3rd night it was Caribbean night we ate at Windjammers the jerk chicken, with rice and beans, & plantain banana was on fire. Our last night we were back at the main dining room and we had the lamb it was so good it was nap time after dinner. Lol… The lamb was well seasoned and the meat just fell off the bone. We couldn’t get enough. Breakfast at main dining room and windjammers were both great everything was nice and fresh.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
It was so much on board activity to do our 4 nights 5 days was not enough time to get through all the activities. My honey played basketball. We enjoy our family time at the pool, the kids water slid area, and playing miniature golf.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We loved the live band by the pool that played all the Reggae music that was our favorite. The Greece shows was great. We didn’t have time to check out the ice show but some people said they enjoyed it and it was nice.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Main dining room waiter Arjun, gave us an unforgettable experience. He exceeded our expectation. He was very attentive to our 3 year old. Very respectful and friendly. He deserves a promotion.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I was very impressed by how all the workers work around the clock through out the day to keep the ship nice and clean. From the start to the end the ship was well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our rooms was nice and clean. They cleaned our room twice a day. The bed and couch was very comfortable. I slept on the couch one night with no problem. The balcony is nice and spacious The room size was perfect for my family.

Ship tip

Have fun.

Ports of call

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Omg! It was beautiful. We had so much fun. We tried to do the jetSki excursions but the water was choppy they had to closed it. The air balloon was also closed due to the weather so we only took pics in front of the balloon. It was more then enough to do at CocoCay al though it wasn’t as hot as we wanted but we still made the best of it.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Due to the fact that we were traveling with a unvaccinated 3 yr old we almost didn’t get to enjoy the port. In order for us to get off the ship with an unvaccinated kid we had to book an excursion through Royal Caribbean. As much as we wanted to check out the local shops and walk around the port we weren’t allowed to because of our 3 yr old which is understandable. Good thing we were able to catch the 11:00am sea to land excursion and that was more then enough for us to view the beautiful island by sea and also view the island on a tour bus where we’re able to get off and shop. Thank you Royal Caribbean
