Review summary
This was my first cruise and I was not impressed. Food was terrible! They try to pass off buffet quality food as fine dining in main dining room. You need to visit the other upcharge dining venues for decent food. Breakfast and lunch in Windjammer is the exact same every day. Breakfast was good but lunch was awful. Only one food option after 9pm and the food choices are very limited and the same 24/7.
Terribly slow bar service by the pool. Small pool area and for some reason they use one of the small pools for scuba diving lessons during prime swimming time.
Mediocre entertainment. Not much of a variety of things happening on the ship.
Internet is awful! Basically can only send and receive text based messages so don't expect much.
One more thing.. don't waist your money for a massage in the spa! I was given a free treatment from our travel agency so I "only" had to pay the $20 gratuity for a 50 minute massage. It was by far the worst massage of my life. Don't waist a penny or an hour of your life getting a massage on that ship. Word of advice, pick a different ship!!

Ship tip
Pay for upgraded dining if you enjoy good food. Skip the internet. Research shore excursions to do without Royal Caribbean because theirs were disappointing.
