Review summary

As expected. After 80 cruises, not too much will "wow" us anymore. Better than staying at home, and money well spent. Good value and service.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Efficient and fast

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Royal traditional fare with some unexpected surprises. Not a real fan of lobster, but it was the best we have had in 80 cruises. Chef's table was great except for the loud noise and music from the Safari Club next door. Could have been in a better location.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Participated in some trivia, good fun....life changing prizes!!!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Normal song and dance, the usual guest entertainers, some however, better than we have seen in the past

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Over the top, as expected

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Older ship, but well kept. Very small pool area for the ship size, with few hot tubs

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Jr. Suite on deck 10. Some noise from pool and Windjammer above. Spacious for a Jr., Balcony adequate, always shaded due to deck above, so if you want sun, you will need to go to a public open deck. Some sort of constant blower/vent above #1082 on the balcony, you may want to avoid booking that suite. It was not too noticable for us, but still could be annoying. Bathroom large with shower/tub combo.

Ship tip

Bigger than the small ships, but smaller than the big ships. If your name is "Goldilocks", this ship could be "just right"!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Florida's got it right. No wait for immigration, and no wait for taxi to airport
