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.
