Great family vacation. Made wonderful memories and a few new friends and hope to do it again in the near future. Kids and adults alike loved it! Would prefer a non-flooding row of rooms next time and for Royal Caribbean to change their kids water park rules and regulations too though. Overall, wonderful vacation!
Embarkation
1 out of 5
No hang ups whatsoever. Got to the terminal early and boarded early. Bags were even delivered to our rooms by 1.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The servers are top notch but the food was ok. Wouldn't say it was the best but they did have a decent variety in the dining rooms each night. The late night pizza, Sorrento's, was horrible, in my opinion. Lack of variety, dirty plates, and they ran,out of ice and even cold beverages on the last evening. Splurge on the room service as I am sure it is better than the pizza.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
The pools were nice, had both of them been open the whole time, which they weren't. My almost 5 year old was unable to participate in any of the kid dedicated Splash Away Bay Area due to height restrictions and her no longer wearing diapers, which means she couldn't really partake in any of the kid areas. Not sure who designed it this way but it really needs to be reconfigured. Not happy about this aspect of our cruise at all.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Didn't go to any shows but the musicians we did listen to in the various bars were quite talented and added a nice touch to our relaxing evenings.
Children's Programs
5 out of 5
One of the best aspects of our cruise was the children's club. Wonderful staff who really engage the children and our kids could not get enough of it. Four days later back home, they are still asking to go back😊
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Service from all of our wait staff was excellent and all of our needs were met in a timely and hospitable manner. Cannot say enough good things about the wonderful staff onboard.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Everything was immaculate and nicely decorated but the ship is older and it's age is starting to show.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Would have been a 5 star had our bathroom not flooded all the way through the wall to the carpet by the bed, simultaneously with my mom's room next door. Hers flooded 3 times during the cruise, so that definitely took away some of the allure of having these nice junior suites. Otherwise, the rooms were very spacious and comfortable and the balcony was the shining star ⭐️
Ship tip
Bring lanyards for your Sea Pass cards and ENJOY YOURSELVES😊
Probably our favorite part of the cruise. Very family friendly and the water is very calm and plenty of chairs. The lunch cookout was great but one of our favorite parts were all of the little hermit crabs crawling all over the place. And the fish coming up to us in knee deep water was pretty cool too!
Did not do any excursions. Explored on foot and not too far from the ship. Picked up some souvenirs and ate at a local place with tasty conch fritters. Things are rather expensive there so wasn't much shopping to be done on our budget.
