Review summary

I was very disappointed and so were others that I spoke to on the cruise. I did tell to first time cruisers on Royal Caribbean that they should not let this experience ruin there opinion of the cruise line. This was not my experience on the other ships that I have sailed on.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

First of all the staff on board were friendly, polite and always willing to help with any issues.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

But I must say that I was not happy with the food provided in the Dining room. It was almost like it was forcing you to get the package for the specialty restaurants. The food provided for breakfast and lunch was the same each day and if you returned from an excursion at 3:00pm or 3:30pm food was very limited. Definitely there was no fries, hamburgers, or hot dogs, at those times. What happened to the nachos fixings?

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Jacuzzi, the pools were crowded.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

The activities throughout the day was limited almost forcing you into the Casino. Speaking of the Casino, it was a money pit. The machines were not paying much.

Children's Programs

1 out of 5

The entertainment was limited and not good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Just as there are many different types of people, there are many types of ships. Apparently this wasn’t the ship for you. As for the low scores on some of the islands, we’d be interested to see why Aruba was so low. It can’t be because of the beautiful white sand beaches. We hope you enjoy your next cruise.

Nothing would force me into the casino. I’m always happy just to potter around, sit and people watch, go to the shows. Food... if I’m not preparing it or cleaning up afterwards, I’m a happy little vegemite! I always find SOMETHING to make me happy.
