Review summary

First time on Royal Caribbean. My expectations were higher. Expected a beautiful impressive ship, it didn't happen. The ship was not crowded, I like that. Sadly, you have to pay extra for great customer service when dining. If I book another trip with RCL, it will be on one of the newer ships.

Embarkation

Eden was the best server on the entire ship. Great customer service. The food was delicious. It's worth the extra expense.

Ship Quality

The ship was clean, but the staterooms hallways smelled fusty and dusty.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
Not inviting at all. Looked beat up. Balcony looked awful, full of rust, and furniture needs to be updated.

Book a newer ship.

You selected the third oldest ship in the fleet. Your travel agent should have advised you of the difference in classes of ships. Perhaps next time.
