Review summary

Felt like a lot of hoops to jump through to board but it turned out to be a breeze IF you follow their instructions and have all the documents. On board they did a great job with sanitizing, didn’t feel concerned about COVID at all. Ship was operating at about 50% capacity so we didn’t have to fight for chairs around the pool.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Seamless embarkation. Have everything they requested went right onboard.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Bought the deluxe beverage package, drinks were top shelf. Food in the dining room was excellent, prime rib was a bit thinner than I remember. Windjammer buffet food not quite as good as previous cruises.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Only saw a couple of shows.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
This is where Royal Caribbean shined! Staff and service was excellent.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean. I feel that they did a great job with sanitizing. They had people that just walked around sanitizing handrails.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We selected the cheapest interior cabin so we didn’t expect much. It was adequate but not large by anyone’s standards.

Ship tip

If you are going to gamble, goon the first day. Lots of winners early in the cruise, not so many later.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We did the snorkel excursion with an open bar. It was great! At $69 pp, I think it was a great value. The crew were friendly, efficient and fun!

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Nassau has some construction going on but still navigable. Straw market had just reopened.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy. Just handle your own luggage and walk off whenever you want.
