Embarkation

4 out of 5
Went smoothly

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was good in the buffet and had good variety. Main dining service was slow but staff were very nice. Food choices on a few days was poor.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Not really much going on if you weren't into games

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff was excellent and very friendly.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Hallway carpets were stained and furniture in general is showing wear. More rust noticed than usual.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Nice roomy cabin and balcony was larger than others we have had before.

Ship tip

Don't expect the level of entertainment and certainly don't think luxury that used to be associated with Royal Caribbean.

Looking back through your other cruise reviews looks like “disappointed” is a theme no matter the cruise line. Maybe you should find another form of vacation.
