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.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

3 out of 5
Embarkation port.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
No excursion. We just went shopping.

George Town, Grand Cayman

4 out of 5
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.

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

5 out of 5
We carried our own luggage and I was pleasantly surprised with how the process worked.
