Review summary
This was our first time on a Royal Caribean ship! We had a wonderful time. We loved the trivia and the library was nice to go to just to relax. We lived the Cafe Promenade to get a cup of tea or a piece of pizza. Our housekeeper, and wait staff were so kind and just did a good job in there area of expertise.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Main Dining Room
We had the best waiter and assistant! George and Jessielyn put did themselves. Our drinks were always full and when our bread basket was almost empty, it was refilled very quickly. I got the steak each night bc I normally dont eat one very often. My husband can be seen as a picky eater and he ate different things and enjoyed them. No one gave us a look when we ordered 2 appetizers or two types of desserts. If you have never had something and it's on the menu, please try it! Even if you just try a little.different soup, snails, or octopus, noone will look at you if you say you dont like it!We were a family of four, my mother,sister, me, and my husband. Definately no children but we did notice there was a lot of children with their families at dinner. Some were not as well behaved or one table asked for different items not on the menu, but our waiter and asst. Were kind and just kept working.
Windjammer Café
Other than right when we walked onto the ship, this place was never too crowded. They had everything, from vegetarian, gluten free options, and sugar free desserts. We got used to eating the same salad,pineapple, and other things that we loved. They always had water, lemonade, and some sort of other flavored water. The only thing is that you had to use cups and just pour your drink into your thermos or drink holder if you brought one.
Schooner Bar
We did a lot of the trivia, which was at this place. You could get a piece of pizza from the cafe and a drink and sit while trying to win!
Café Promenade
It was always pretty busy, but there was always cold water to drink, a nice selection of teas, hot chocolate, and coffee. They had big cinnamon rolls in the morning and then pizza to serve all of the time. Even though it seemed like the line was going to be long, they gave out as much pizza you would like very quickly.
Ben and Jerry's
My husband got a cup of his favorite icecream and it was worth the amount that he paid!
Onboard Activities
Casino Royale
This place had the quarter machine that you drop in and see any at the bottom are pushed. We saved our quarters for about a month and came with a big bag, ready to have fun. My mother and sister played the slots and said that they enjoyed them. It one place on the boat that you can smoke if it bothers you.
Entertainment
Library
The library had a bunch of scrabble, dominoes, and other games if you wanted to play. Someone was always at one of the four desktop computers available and it seemed like noone ever had a problem with them. My husband sat alot on the very comfy chairs to read and play his games. It was very quiet and nice.
