Review summary

I think I pretty well covered it in the comments above. When we get the urge to cruise again we will do more research and probably book elsewhere.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
This was my 4th Royal Caribbean cruise and the food selection and preparation is what drew me back to this cruise. This time we were very disappointed in the menus and lack of thought in making this menu more appealing. The beef selection in the main dining was always the same. No other choices. It seems like that there was a nudge to eat more at the specialty restaurants at a substantial additional cost and they weren't worth the cost. The layout out of the buffet with so many food kiosks was poorly thought put for traffic control. Breakfast options were more limited then what I had seen on previous cruises with only 1 omelet station making it it chaotic to get an omelet. Due to the dining downgrade from previous cruises my next cruise will be with another cruise line.

Entertainment

The music/ dance shows were not to be missed. They were terrific. The comedian headliner was a yawner

The crew was first rate eager to please and always cheerful and friendly

Ship Quality

A well maintained ship

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin seemed to be a bit more spacious than on previous ships , the bed and pillows were very comfortable. The cabin steward took good care of us.

Ship tip

If food selection/preparation is important to you look somewhere else

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida Did not visit port

We just passed through

George Town, Grand Cayman

1 out of 5
The captain decided to not let passengers off the ship at this port due to ship tender to shore as being too risky. The sea was a bit rough.

Falmouth, Jamaica

4 out of 5
We just walked around town shopping. It was a fine stop

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

4 out of 5
The island is beautiful with much to do for the people that wanted to be active. For the sun worshippers it was ideal. Here the food supplied lacked id in imagination

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
