Review summary

This was our first family vacation/cruise and I must say, I think we are hooked! Our kids loved the kid's club, which gave my wife and I plenty of alone time to spend together. Anyone with kids will appreciate this! Food and wait staff were nothing short of excellent! If you ever get hungry, there's always somewhere to find food. Our ports were so much fun and are now memories that will last forever!

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Being a first time cruiser, it was a bit confusing on where to go in and drop off our bags to be loaded on the ship. Then we opted to walk to the port from parking lot B since the shuttle line was so long and we had no bags to carry. The maze of people was a bit overhwhelming, but did move fairly quickly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The main dining room was amazing! Once we settled in on a section we liked, we had the same wait staff for the entire trip which made our dining experiences so much special! Food was excellent and had a variety for everyone's taste.

Ship tip

If you plan on drinking more than a few drinks, buying the drink package is a must. You'll be thankful for it!

Royal Caribbean's kids clubs are awesome! Love the fact that the kids/teens love being there which puts us parents at ease and gives us time to enjoy ourselves : -)
