This was a great getaway and way to get back into cruising. The ship and clean and easy to navigate.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Quickest and smoothest process of can cruises I have been on.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food in the main dining room was a good combination of options but took a lot of time at both lunch and dinner. The buffet was to be expected. Pizza is decent but often has a line and is out of pepperoni pizza for a least a little.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Sunbathing, shows, casino

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Musicians did a nice job but the shows need some additional work.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our room steward Sebastian, was very attentive and gave daily tips about the ship or the ports.

One can feel the post pandemic struggle

Almost Perfect

Started badly due to upcharge from HGV Cruise Agent, but as usual Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines' awesome staff made our experience amazing!
