Review summary

This was my first time on a royal Caribbean but if all the ships are like Majesty of the seas I will definitely cruise with them again. The ship did everything they could to make it enjoyable.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

I only gave this 3 stars because when i was in the line at port Tampa I was stopped by a drug sniffing dog who sniffed out my vape pen. I was taken aside, frisked and searched while the tested my pen. They only found nicotine. This delayed our boarding onto the ship. Me and my wife were treated like a criminal and I will never cruise from this port again.

HAVANA, CUBA

3 out of 5

Not much to do there but did enjoy the classic car ride, very hot thou. Getting off the ship was a pain cause of Cubas port restrictions. Everyone had to pay 75 dollars for a visa. I would not go there again.
