Review summary

This was my first Royal Caribbean. I have sailed twice with Carnival. I was a bit concerned with how I would like the differences. I discovered that both are fun cruise lines. They each offer a very different experience. Royal Caribbean is much more elegant and relaxed. Carnival keeps a higher energy and everything is concentrated on just having a good time.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was surprisingly efficient.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was excellent. Windjammer could get super crowded, but that is to be expected.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The only negative I found was with the DJs. They left a bit to be desired.

Children's Programs

My child did not participate. He is 12 and felt in between the age groups.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward and any ship personnel went above and beyond in anticipating our needs and caring for us.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Inside rooms are small, but well designed. We had ample storage space, which was a little surprising. The rooms remind me of an efficiently designed RV.

Ship tip

I would advise to good a room in the middle of the ship. We were in the forward section and it was long way from any of the food. We did have a short wall to the pool, but we found ourselves frustrated by the distance to the restaurants in the rear of the ship.

George Town, Grand Cayman

No excursion. We went shopping. This is a great port for hanging close to the ship. There are a ton of easy accessible shops. The food off the ship is expensive here, though.
Thumbs Up

Falmouth, Jamaica

5 out of 5
We took the river tubing and bamboo beach club excursion. We spent a lot of time driving, but our tour guide was awesome and kept us entertained. We enjoyed tubing. The beach club was just almost crowded, but not too much.

Disembarkation

We carried our own luggage and I was pleasantly surprised with how the process worked.
