Review summary

I am a Carnival cruiser but I was pleasantly surprised by Royal Caribbean. I missed the party atmosphere on this ship but I will surely sail RC again in the future.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

The smoothest embarkation I have ever experienced in 25 cruises!!!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining room was good for dinner, breakfast in the main dining room was limited menu and disappointing. Buffet in the windjammer was good and many choices. Food on Cococay was surprisingly good and many choices to choose from.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5

Exceeded my expectations!! What a beautiful port with so much to see and do. Something for everyone. Waterslides are the best but be aware it is a long 14 story walk to the top.
