Review summary

This was my second cruise. I was disappointed, that there was so little to do on board if you were not a gambler or drinker. The rooms were clean, the staff friendly. The food was just okay. I just wasn't wow-ed on this cruise. What would have been available if we had not done the CocoCay Island day?

Nothing stands out.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Just not enough to do and now we have movies in our room on the TV. Just what I wanted, to watch TV on my vacation; missed the theater.Just not enough activities, I expected something going on all the time in the way of activities. I can do bingo at home.

Would have liked to have more info about eating, where to go, best restaurants for lunch, etc. The tours were below average.

Don't Miss: Shopping

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island)

5 out of 5
I would say this ended up being the best experience of the cruise and we weren't going to do it. I think this excursion should have been explained a bit better. My parents thought it was swimming and sun all day. There were enough things to do that they enjoyed this.
Thumbs Up
Don't Miss: All of it should be experienced if possible.

Pros: The shows

Cons: So little activities for non drinking, gambling guests on board.

Recommends Monarch of the Seas? No.
