Review summary

The cruise overall was good but seeing as this was 1st time in Europe I totally do not recomend to go by cruise as you don't see much & always feel rushed as you arrive too late or leave too early for non Royal Carribean coordinated tours.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Everyone was nice & it was a super smooth process

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The quality of the food in the main dining room as dropped several notches these past few years

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Sportsplex & activities were great even though a little crowded with long wait times many days

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Stage shows great

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

Loved sportsplex

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Han in our 6pm dining time was great and his assistant waiter was super attentive too as by day 2 had everything we liked on hand without even asking for it (sodas, brocolli, extra bread & butter)

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship feels crowded at times as there is not much open areas to relax & unwind without having smokers near you on the pool deck.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

All was good & average for an ocean balcony room on a cruise

Ports of call

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

4 out of 5

Santorini, Greece

1 out of 5

Lines to long after having to tender to shore ... if you already have to tender then boats should already arrive on the nice side of Santorini

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey

4 out of 5
