Overall, we had so much fun. The weather wasn’t the best, but the cruise ship made sure there were plenty activities on board. Everyone that we have encountered was super friendly, and made sure that we had the best experience. A lot of people were mad that we were not able to stop at Costa Maya due to severe weather, but I think the captain made a good call and was more concerned about our safety. This is my third cruise with Royal Caribbean, and I would highly recommend this ship to anyone.

Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
The fitness center was great for the short stay. I went every morning at 6am before it got crowded. The pools were nice- fun activities for adults on “at sea” days.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Ken the cruise director is hilarious. Also, got a chance to see the captain rock out on the 2nd to last night- never seen that in a cruise before! The Love & Marraige Game show and the little games for adults were all fun!
Children's Programs
I don’t have children.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Vanisha, Thato, Raffy - all amazing. There was a man from the Middle East in windjammer, cleaning off tables and then in the evening serving tables in the main dining room- very sweet and kind! Always approached every table with a smile! Vanisha and Thato made sure we had a great dining experience for dinner and were so friendly and personable. Raffy always made sure the room was impeccable. The bed was always perfectly made in the morning and evening.
Ship Quality

I was constantly seeing staff cleaning and sanitizing the hand rails and even garbages! The ship was very clean.
Cabin / Stateroom

We knew it was going to be a bit small but we made do. The bed was comfortable.
Ship tip
Bring warm clothes! The weather can be finicky in December!
What a great review! People have been saying it is a small old ship with not much to do. Well compared to Symphony I can see why that was said. But we will enjoy any cruise ship 🛳️!!
We sail out in just 27 more days with a 10 day cruise on Radiance.
