Review summary

Had a really good time, everybody on the ship was very friendly and helpful. My only complaint would be the Wi-Fi reception, it was very hit and miss. We had the surf package the cheapest one so perhaps the streaming one would be better. Food was great at all restaurants, good choices and quality. Our weight stuff was amazing, some of the best we’ve ever had. Room was always made up very quickly. Chip is not as fancy as some of the bigger ones, but we were there for the scenery and ports of call. Very smooth sailing, ship is very quiet with no vibrations.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Very hectic in the underground parking garage at Canada Place. Leave extra time !! Check in was slower than normal due to so many people showing up unprepared. Not RCCL’s fault, it’s stupid people !!

Ship Quality

Dated but still looks great and is very functional. Easy to navigate.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Rooms are a little bit dated in appearance but are very clean and work just fine. Bed was a little bit firm, balcony is massive with awesome forward views.

Ship tip

I wouldn’t do my time dining, it was lined up several nights with people waiting for tables. We had the early dining and it was very nice to be able to walk right in and sit down.
