Review summary

Royal Caribbean did a wonderful job of updating and redesigning this ship. The ambience was very clean, classy, and contemporary. It was a pleasant cruise overall, with exceptional staff.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The smoothest embarkation experience ever on a cruise ship!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
All good areas were clean, well-staffed, and the food was very good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The fitness center was great! Used it every day. Preferred the pool area designated for adults;but the staff needs to enforce that! Too many parents brought kids in that area.And only one hot tub was functioning in that area.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Music was good. Would like to see more opportunities and venues in which to dance.

Children's Programs

Did not bring kids on this cruise.

Nicely designed. Very clean at all times.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Always clean; very roomy and well appointed. Very nice for two people. Plenty of storage areas. Love the desk/ mirror area. Very user- friendly.

Ship tip

If interested in duty free shipping, shop early, as they run out of some items early.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

No time- had to get to our flight in Ft Lauderdale.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
It’s a bit of a run down dirty port. The shipping is pretty good, though. Wish we had taken an excursion to see more of the area beyond the shopping district.

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island) Did not visit port

Choppy water and wind cancelled this port visit.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth; well organized.
