Review summary

The ship was fine, just extremely disorganized, particularly in the excursions department.  At the first port of call, getting off the ship to get to our excursions was absolutely chaotic.  It improved on subsequent  ports, but was never what I would call good.  The food in the dining room was average at best.  We have been on other Royal Caribbean ships where the selection and quality of the food was much superior to this one.  Cleanliness, friendliness, and courtesy of service was very good,, but were not enough to pull the overall experience up to above average.

I don't exist michellin quality dining but at least it had to be better than a half decent restaurant. I wonder how critical can one get?

We took an Eastern Caribbean Cruise in April on Navigator. We were satisfied but something seemed to be lacking. We weren't wowed as we had been on Freedom. I would still recommend the Navigator especially if you are a first timer.

We were on the first week of May, the food was spectacular.
