5 out of 5
vrey quick and organized with online checkin

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Not a fan of RCI's new main dining room menu

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
most stuff was "Sold Out". Finally did find an opening for the VR experience, then the equipment was faulty & didn't get to do this anyway...Luckoly was able to get a refund. Solarium "adults only age limit starts at 16y/o - lots of party people in the hot tubs - not really relaxing as on other cruises.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The Book show was good - but the other 2 shows, Showgirl and The Effectors were meh. Singers were talented but the shows have no substance.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Our room steward, Orlando, was great. Guest services was good - responded to our refund request...and bad...sent us on a wild goose chase for seasickness meds

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Largest inside cabin that we've ever seen on a basic budget - great storage, nice-sized bathroom. Cabin 9541 was very close to elevator and stairs - yet in it's own little, quiet hallway - perfectly positioned for access to the pool as well as common areas. The only thing was when the beds are together, 1 person sacrificed walking room...we ended up separating the beds

Ship tip

don't assume the size of the ship will negate the movement. The rolling of the ship, even in calm waters was surprising.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

4 out of 5

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

3 out of 5
2 ships there at the same time - very crowded. appreciated the tram service.

Falmouth, Jamaica

2 out of 5
too far away from the points of interest that we were interested in visiting in Jamaica (Dunns River Falls/The Blue Hole were 1.5 hr drive 1 way) we ended up staying on the ship instead of spending the time in a tour bus

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5

Appreciate your feedback. Actually the shopping area in Falmouth is a nice place. Yes, it’s far from some points of interest. Sorry you were disappointed.
