Review summary

Overall I’m glad me and my husband went alone because we wouldn’t have enjoyed it if we had to constantly worry about our kids. Kids and teens with no manners, no respect and no one watching or supervising them made a lot of the cruise not so fun for us. Love the Punchliner comedy Club and i like that they have family friendly shows early in the day. Shows and productions were amazing. Buffett left much to be desired, not our favorite at all. It’s cool that two specialty restaurants are complimentary on your first visit so we were able to experience that. Regardless of any lows, I’m very sad the cruise is over!

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Buffet not so great, restaurants were good. Pizza open till 4am was admittedly way better than Royal’s Sorrentos!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Did the pool on the last day but missed out on Bolt because it was down a few days and booked up quick when it started working again - then it rained!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Comedy club, Latin band, karaoke and productions were amazing and fun

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Our room attendant Natan was great. Cruise director TJ was fun. Bar tenders were all great. Workers in Big Chicken and Guy’s Burger Joint looked like they hated their jobs and that rubbed off on how they interacted with guests unfortunately.

Teens should be made to swab the deck and clean up clogged toilets.
