Wonderful first time back from COVID shutdown. Great boat, staff wonderful and plenty of activities. Couldn't ask for a better quick vacation.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
With The Key, there is no issue. Smooth, fast and friendly...on the boat by 11:45am.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Specialty restaurants on point yet MDR, Windjammer and any "included" meals seem to be fading away with consistency in quality, taste and overall presentation standards. Royal used to be the standard in overall food taste, quality and variety...yet as with changes in every industry, this is not the case any more. However if you pay extra, food is phenomenal...Hibachi and Giovanni's Table excellent as always pre-pandemic.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Never an issue with things offered to do on board. The slides were awesome and rock climbing is great.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Very fun and entertaining. Can't be beat. Grease was a breath of fresh air and up with the times.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Wissem in MDR one of the best waiters ever encountered. Has been with company for over 10 years in multiple ships and believe it or not was on Freedom 8 years ago when we dined in Giovanni's Table...overall staff ways smiling (regardless of mask) and very welcoming.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Sister ship to Freedom of the Seas so layout awesome and overall great ship. Always clean and attended to by housekeeping, maintenance and stews
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Great balcony cabin for a quick weekend getaway.
Ship tip
Enjoy it. It's vacation and the staff are busting their a$$ with masks on while we all are free. So be thankful, enjoy all offerings and don't complain.
Spend the extra $100 and get the Key...escorted to front of line and luggage waiting for you...about 10 minutes from end of dining room breakfast to rental car shuttle 😁
