Review summary

This is our second cruise with royal carribbean and we loved this boat. Great Shows every night. Dinning rooms where beautiful. Seated with another family with teens around the same age as ours. The one thing that did bother me is we were next door to a smoker who sat on their balcony and smoked which made it very hard for us to use our balcony at all. I do think smokers on one side of the ship and nonsmokers on the other would work out better.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food was very good in the dinning rooms. Wish the buffet has changed theirs up a little. It had the same thing almost everyday.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Shows and activities were the best I don't even know if they could get any better.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5

My girls didn't do a lot with activities they stayed in the arcade alot. My girls wanted to stay together but were in two different age groups by a year. Because they didn't want to split up they did not get to do many activities. I do think they should allow family to stay together regardless of age if the parents agree with the activities.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Overall staff was good. I did have a problem with the sound on our tv. reported it three times and it was never fixed. but other than that everyone was very friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very nice ship. clean lots of decorations. On a couple floors it was hard to get from one in to another you would have to go down one floor past a certain point on the boat and then come back up to get were you wanted to go.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Rooms where good we had two one for our two teens and one for us. I do wish we had a door connecting them but they were very nice rooms.
