This was our first RCCL cruise. We spoke with people who had multiple experiences with the company and even they were disappointed. One remarked that after the pandemic the quality went down considerably.
Embarkation
2 out of 5
Embarkation was chaotic at best. We were just herded.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The specialty dining was the bright spot in the trip. We ate at Chops twice and once at Giovanni's Table as well as the Chef's Table. The food at the Windjammer was fine but their hours were inconsistent and they would close half of it down for turnover at the worst times. There were a lot of children on this cruise. The Solarium bar and restaurant are supposed to be adults only but staff did not enforce this; thus children were taking chairs meant for adults. Their parents were apparantly self-deemed to not be subject to this rule.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
The fitness center is very nice.
Entertainment
We didn't attend any entertainment events.
Children's Programs
We don't have children.
Service and Staff
3 out of 5
Our steward was great but overall the staff exhibited a lack of energy.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship is very beautiful. But the Bionic Bar and Spotlight Karaoke rooms are a waste of space. Nobody goes in there.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
It's shoing its age with a cracked sink and gouge our of the toilet. Otherwise it was fine. However, we were subjected to threadbare and stained towels. We didn't start getting the Cruise Compass until Thursday so communication was quite poor.
That's very surprising as we were on the same cruise. The shows were excellent, especially the aqua 80 show. The water slides were a lot of fun for all ages and the promenade always had something going on.
