The ship itself, was great. I didn’t care for the entertainment on this cruise. The last show, Sonic Odyssey was actually decent, but it was at the end of the cruise. We had 5 days at sea with boring programs. The activities and shows seem to lack for some reason and I just can’t put my finger on why. Chips and Jamie’s were both a bust but Izumi was great (as usual). Main Dining Room wasn’t bad and Sorrento’s staff were always smiling. I didn’t use my coffee card completely and couldn’t even give away coffee 🤣. Everyone had coffee cards on the ship. I love Quantum class ships but this cruise (because of entertainment & activities) fell below RCCL standards if you ask me.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Embarkation at Canada Place is best described as an organized chaos! You walk up, down, left, right, back, and forth before you get to the registration spot. A lot of people going to various ships, but somehow we all got to our destination (organized chaos). Unbelievable, but we didn’t wait too long. Lines kept moving.

Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
This junior suite was nice however, they really need to fix the flaw with the rain shower. The glass door doesn’t have a latch and the door will open slightly with the motion of the ship, causing water to come out. This seems to be a bad design that I’m sure I’m not the only one who has complained.
The pillows on the sectional sofa should be replaced too. Should consider using a more durable kind.
Ship tip
Get to the Two70 and Royal theater early enough to grab best seats!
Maui is a nice stop. It is a tender port. Plenty of chickens roaming around. Koholā is a nice brewery to visit. Great shopping at the outlet stores (although limited). Great food and of course beach!
On another note, tendering on day one was a mess!! Long line at port awaiting tender back to ship.
Honolulu was a good trip but expensive. Explored the north shore and ate at Famous Kahuku Shrimp (good but wish the peeled the shrimp).
Waikiki Beach is busy, expected considering it’s a big tourist spot.
Overall, my time here was good but I wasn’t wowed.
Stayed at the Alohilani Resort post cruise for 3 nights. Was a bit underwhelmed with the resort. Price was overpriced if you asked me.
