Review summary

Royal Caribbean seems to be a very good cruise line. Little things like having to check out towels seemed cheap, but overall a great experience.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Getting checked in was a breeze. We were delayed boarding because of issues from the previous cruise that couldn’t be helped

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

MDR food was hit or miss. The tuna was horribly dry but the short ribs were amazing. Just not consistent each night

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Some of the equipment in the fitness center is a bit dated, but functional.

Go to the shows! They really are worth your time. Also watch a movie on deck, it’s so fun to be under the stars

The port is a maze of shops you’re forced to go through to return to the ship. We found the people selling merchandise to be pushy and unfriendly. We went to Nachi Cocom, it was ok. The beach needs raking, there’s sharp sticks and thorns also they REALLY needed to clean the restrooms through out the day. At one point they were pretty nasty.

Although we only shopped within the port barricade, we found the people to be very warm and gracious
