Review summary

If you're looking for a relaxing cruise where you get good food, good service, a nice view, and avoid an extra fee at every turn, look elsewhere. This is not the cruise for you. The facilities seemed run down, staff was not very pleasant, the app for your phone was almost worthless when looking up schedules and making service reservations. Overall, not recommended. Royal Caribbean will not be our cruise line of choice. If given another option, we would select another cruise line.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Only a handful of dining rooms and restaurants were included in the cost. Many restaurants, ice cream, and other service were at an additional fee. The cruise line nickeled-and-dimed on expenses at every turn.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

The cruise line nickeled-and-dimed on expenses and activities at every turn. Additionally, there were really only two locations where one could relax and watch the sea and scenery. It was very odd. Even in the main dinning room the large windows with views to the ocean were frosted so that one couldn't enjoy the view. Everything on the ship was focused on inward activities that often included an additional fee. It was not relaxing at all.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

The staff, other than the excellent stateroom staff, tended to be very average and often unsure of their duties.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

There really no locations to relax and watch the view of the ocean, coast, or ports with a drink and a book. Everything seemed to be inwardly facing for activities for which the cruise line added an extra fee.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Clean and neat. The stateroom attendant provided the best service of anyone on the ship.

Ship tip
