Review summary

Absolutely horrendous lines, you need to be at any show at least 30 minutes ahead of time to not be shut out or standing room only. Lines for food, pool, shows,could not wait to get home

Embarkation

2 out of 5

Not as bad as disembarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Specialty dining is always packed and to make a reservation you stand in line at least half an hour

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Limited. Pool is tiny and chairs always taken. There is no 15 minute rule as they allude to. Not many activities and all activities lead to a sales pitch or are sold out/packed

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Main shows not great. Many people walked out. I really liked the broadway cabaret show and beau the piano player in the district bar. By far the best entertainment on the ship

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Staff very nice and available. Really best thing about this ahip

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Very clean, not much to do though

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Balcony

Ship tip

Please please at least check out royal Caribbean if you are going to spend your hard earned money on a cruise. We are still in line for disembarkation which was supposed to be at 8am and it is 1135 we are no where near getting off the boat

Thumbs up

Ports of call

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

Disembarkation

1 out of 5

Absolute nightmare. Super disorganized. We have a child in a wheelchair and have been waiting in the line for 3 hours already. Absolutely horrendous. Do not schedule a flight or bus ride and have any confidence that you would make it in time. Lines lines and more lines this whole week.
