We enjoyed our cruise! Something for everyone, there were a lot of children on this one because there is much to offer kids. The ship is easy to navigate. You can be as busy as you'd like or just relax as much as you'd like. The pool deck (11) also has the buffet (windjammer) so it's handy to pop in there once you toss on a cover up. Soft serve ice cream is included! Sorrento's pizza is included and pretty good in the promenade.

The whole process is so streamlined, it's just easy and fast!
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The main dining was excellent! The food was ah-mazing! The breakfast buffet can be insane at times - just SO MANY people and they hog seats. There were announcements made requesting guests to leave if they had finished though which was much appreciated. The buffet was good. I had bbq pork chops one day that were so good. Nice variety.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
There truly was something for everyone on this ship. Plenty for children, teens and adults. There's a splash zone area for young children and a pool for families. Nice hot tubs for parents while children are playing. We are an older couple, so we went to the Solarium which was tough to find chairs, but i managed once to find a nice lounge chair watching the ocean while reading. Nice big hot tubs that my husband enjoyed.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
The only reason why I gave 4 stars and not 5 was due to the Crazy Quest. It was too crazy for me, but I'm sure it was highly entertaining for others. Man mooned the audience twice, woman lifted her shirt to show her piercing on her nipple, men dirty dancing with each other... it was just a bit much for me, personally. Plenty of trivia, which we enjoyed. I do like to listen to the karaoke. Bingo with Billy was awesome. He made it fun. The movies seemed geared more to families which is fine, but maybe more Mission Impossible like would have been nice at night for adults.
Children's Programs
We don't have children, but there was lots to do for them.
Service and Staff

Everyone was awesome!
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
We love Royal Caribbean, and can navigate the ship with ease after being on 4 cruises. Everything was clean and staff were always wiping down hand rails and reminding you to wash your hands.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The inside room - aft almost at the end. It was fine! Small, of course but it was nice and quiet, comfortable. Always clean.
Ship tip
If you go to the buffet and take your food out outside to eat.
We just walked around - it was a pretty nice walk from the ship to the shopping areas. The Straw Market is a fun walk around, but it's mostly the same stuff in each little vendor area.
I'd like to go back one day to explore more. We chose a dolphin excursion. Met, pet, shook fins, got a 'kiss'. There is a photographer that does a great job taking pictures. There were no phones, cameras, go pro's allowed. Lockers (free) to load all of your stuff. Of course, you pay for such pictures and they aren't cheap. Take your credit card! We paid $45.00 PER PICTURE and I got the download. We were supposed to go to Haiti, so we really appreciated Grand Cayman. After the dolphins, we went to Coral Beach. The water was lovely and comfortable in April. Chairs were included and it wasn't tough to find one. Not too much shade, but we did find a few partly shaded. Wear water shoes if you go in the water as there is so much coral, it would be hard to walk on barefoot. There was an opportunity to buy food and drinks, but we didn't. Wish we could have stayed longer.
We did the self assist disembarkation- I don't even know how that happened, but it worked out great! We just took our own suitcases, and walked off by 8 am then took a shuttle ($10 EACH) to Miami airport.
