Review summary

This was a very nice 5 day cruise. The entertainment could have been better, and on the last day at sea there was very little to do. Not sure why there were hardly any activities. I still would take another cruise with Royal Caribbean. Nice cruise line.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Embarkation was slow and went from one line to another.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food in main dining room and buffet was mediocre. Nothing spectacular but that was good so no one over ate. Bar service was slow. Lots of waiting and many times I thought I was wearing my invisible outfit cause people that came to bar after me would get waited on before me.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pool and fitness center was great. Also went to most trivia which were challenging.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Stage shows were plain, nothing great. One juggler performance.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff was fabulous! So nice and helpful

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was kept clean and nothing was cluttered. Very well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Room was very clean and comfortable. Bathroom cabinet on the inside had some paint chipped away and was held together with white tape, but it served its purpose.

Ship tip

Many times it was easier taking the stairs instead of waiting to get on an elevator.

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

5 out of 5
