Review summary

Overall had a great time. Without a drink package, can get a little hard to find something to drink for free. Excursions were not that great. Be sure to do plenty of research on the ones you choose. Bamboo sheets same price as stateside with taxes. Be careful on jewelry purchases and quality.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining was rather fancy food and limited choices. Might go to buffet first fo a nice salad, then go to dining room. Would not pay for specialty restaurants. Wasn’t worth it.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Helpful and pleasant. We never saw our cabin attendant. Wait service was pretty slow in dining room and specialty.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Royal Caribbean was top notch. First cruise, but I have been on a Carnival ship before, there is no comparison. RC was way better.

Ship tip

Specialty restaurants have limited menus and really are not worth the price. Service was pretty slow and wait staff was not as friendly as dining room.
