Review summary

Overall a great experience. I would highly recommend Royal Caribbean. Their staff is so nice and efficient. Food variety and quality is quite good. Activities are numerous and ports of call are great.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I would not sign up for specialty dining. Most meals weren't any better than the main dining room and you had to pay extra. The service, however, was fantastic!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pools were all perfect - nice to have choices from a quiet indoor one to the party pool with live music. Arcade was fun - got a chance to play ping pong, air hockey, foosball.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Shows were ok. Very much enjoyed the 4 male singers- great voices! Magic/comedy show was just as good. The two drama shows were ok- storylines were weak. Too much flashing and loudness in The Effectors.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our cabin assistant, Sid, was so very kind and always went out of his way to ask how our day was and if we needed anything. Roxy in Wonderland was so very sweet and provided great service. Ciprian at Giovanni's wine bar was very professional and provided the same great service we experienced throughout the ship.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very comfortable, lots of storage space. Brought our own hangers - good thing because there were not enought provided.

Ship tip

Do not pay extra for specialty dining. Expect large numbers in your group for a ship-sponsored shore excursion.

Was on the Odyssey last September and absolutely loved doing the med on that ship. Glad you enjoyed it too.

My son and his wife were on this cruise also. It was their honeymoon and her first cruise. They seemed to really enjoy it also. Thank you for your feedback.
