Review summary

Not the biggest fan of the layout of the boat. RC has taken away many perks & now charges for a lot of things that were once free. This was my 17th RC cruise. My husband & I prefer the Oasis class ship setup.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Terrible set up, unorganized - no one really knew what was going on.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was good in Dining Room & Windjammer. Couldn’t make reservations at Chops or The Italian restaurant because they were already booked. First time eating at Tepinyaki & it was fantastic!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Bumper cars were fun!

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Entertainment was good! Especially the show Taps. The comedians were hilarious but there shows were to short.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Our room attendant was very good. It was a little hard getting iced tea in the morning but other than that it was good.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Did not like the design of this ship. It was very broken up & they didn’t have much of a promenade. I like the setup of Harmony & Symphony of the seas. However the Two70 lounge was spectacular!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Only complaint was the bathroom & shower to small. Bed was comfortable, Tv shows were terrible. Balcony wasn’t used much. Best of all - the ac worked great!

Ship tip

Get to the shows early if your not diamond plus or pinnacle. They make you wait while they go up & down the line looking for these people. We are diamond and didn’t get hardly any perks.

Disembarkation

Surprised at how easy it was to get off the ship. We got an elevator to deck 5 & was off within 10 minutes.

I didn't care for it either. I felt like I was funneled inside a lot or something. I'm booked on the Odyssey and will really try to be conscious of that..of course I'll be in the Mediterranean so I will probably stay away from the inside mall.
