Review summary

my fiancé and I were excited to head to the ports of call, but the ship had to many dislikes to ever go on this ship again. We are loyal royal Caribbean guests, but this ship needs to be retired. I highly recommend not going on this ship is expect for things to do throughout the whole day, quality food and updated décor, because this ship does not have it. the crew was amazing and I tip my hat to them but the ship needs to go down like the titanic......

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

the main dining hall food was poor at best. small portions, not great quality and interesting choices. the buffets definitely saved the trip but weren't anything to write home about. Izumi was a pleasant surprise and we ate there twice! the crew up there was fantastic and made it a memorable experience.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

activities weren't great and not much to do at all. wouldn't recommend the ship if your looking for activities.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

entertainment was great, but only when it was available. not a ton of activities at night and not many shows at all.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

crew was nice and friendly the whole trip!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

older ship and you could tell for sure. clean at all times but had its dated things, like the rooms, halls, and show rooms
