Review summary

Wonderful ship with modern facilities, great shows etc etc

BUT as with all Royal Caribn. ships,we have sailed on many,  The Windjammer buffet style restaurant continues to be a disaster. No matter what time we arrived it was always a problem to find a table !!!! Not enough staff clearing tables and no staff to help finding a table,you  just wander round aimlessly waiting . Dont get a plate of food till you find a table. Not the definition of "free for all" that you were expecting !!!!

Hated it - never again

Sorry. Food on a cruise is such a major part of our life that when one aspect is so negative, it can turn the whole cruise negative. Yet, 4 of 5 stars so there must have been many more positives. Best wishes. Thanks for sharing.
