Review summary

Overall too many guests on this ship and not enough staff. Quality of food needs to improve. Long lines for everything including all shows, dinner, cafe promenade coffee, park cafe etc.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was fast and easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
The food and drink quality was poor. This is my 7th Royal Caribbean cruise so I had something to compare it to. Some of the top shelf alcohol is not offered anymore and the main dining room food and experience was poor. I ate at 1 specialty restaurant and the food was delicious but why do I need to pay extra to get the quality I deserve? The service was slow in the main dining room, maybe due to the overcrowded ship, long wait for a “reserved” dinner time, overall disappointing.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
So again, plenty of onboard activities but long waits for everything. Oh and did I mention on sail days you have to get up by 6am to get a chair on deck?

Entertainment

2 out of 5
So once again, the shows were great, I would have loved to see them all but space was limited and long lines etc. and then no room left. That is why I gave it this rating.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Aside from a couple main dining room staff, everyone else was fantastic. My room steward was awesome, so was my daily coffee barista, amazing bartenders and others.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very comfortable and roomy with a great balcony. We had a junior suite but my other family members had balcony rooms and said they were smaller than other RC ships they had sailed.

Ship tip

Be patient, lots of lines if ship is filled to capacity.

Ports of call

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

1 out of 5
RC should be ashamed. Lots of walking and water full of seaweed and rocks. Very murky water.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Philipsburg, St. Maarten
