Review summary

I would not cruise with royal carribean again. Ship was so overcrowded it made doing anything with my son a challenge. We didn't go to one of our ports and were told by guest services we would not be credited and it's not there problem. Overall food was not very good and we had to return dishes in the dining room.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

We purchased the key and was able to get quickly on the boat.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The specialty restaurants were great. The main dining room had some great dishes but overall quality of food and taste was poor.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Pools were overcrowded. The skypad was broken. There was no where to sit or get a drink on the pool deck due to how many people were everywhere.

Entertainment

We did not go to shows.

Sorry to hear your cruise was disappointing but remember you did Cruise in the middle of spring break which is some of the busiest times to cruise. Question: have you cruised before just wondering?

Thanks for your feedback! Recommend not voting down a port you did not visit due to weather or ship decision. This lowers the overall port rank numbers based on a port you did not visit.

Read your cruise contract regarding missing a port/ bad weather…..pretty simple.
