Review summary

It is our first time cruising with Royal Caribbean and we were so pleasantly surprise. We've had the best foods and service experiences, so thank you so much! The activities were fun filled, plenty to do and enjoy. We may skip the Spa next time. So, oh well!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

The best foods on a cruise ship ever! Thank you so much for the best experience!

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
All ship's activities are good except for the Spa Service. But I had a horrible experience with your spa service. The Spa Center manager first offered the same special for a different since the first night was all booked up then later recanted. When I got the massage, it smelled so bad when I lied facedown on the paper towel. It seemed quite unsanitary, which was very surprising. It is definitely the worst spa experience on a cruise ship ever.

Entertainment

We enjoyed the entertainment on board. Thank you!

Service and Staff

Desmond is the most caring and pleasant waiter ever on a cruise ship! We felt very special and enjoyed our dining experience the most ever on a cruise. Thank you so much!

It is a wonderful cruise! You need to try it or you will be missing out one of the best cruise ever.

Nassau, Bahamas

We went snorkeling. It was a cloudy day, the water was cold and there were not that many fish to see. Please feed them more. We were told that thousands of them came back when most people were back on the boat.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
It was a perfect day. The water and the island are gorgeous to see and enjoy. It was just a bit windy so no kayaking, parasailing... But still beautiful and so relaxing. Again, great foods and services. Thank you so much!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Again, Royal Caribbean is the most efficient cruise company we have ever sailed with. We plan to come back!

Glad you enjoyed it (other than the spa). The spas on most cruise lines seem to be just a profit center to upsell more products / services. It’s best to just stay away and save your money for a spa day at a reputable place at home.
