The cruise was great. There are always people on the beaches pushing selling stuff but we just kept saying no. Royal Caribbean did great.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We thought the food was great. We heard some complain but some are picky. We are just grateful for all the options and wonderful service. The main dining room staff were great.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
The fitness center was nice. The pools and hot tubs were busy but we found space. The mini golf was fun but didn’t have a mark where to “tee” off. The boat is older but we still had fun.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
We enjoyed all the the entertainment. The shows were great.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The staff was exceptional. The only exception was the spa receptionist. She was not helpful when we asked questions. The waiters were exceptional. Our room steward was great and fixed our concerns. We didn’t see her much but our room was clean so she worked around our schedule well. She fixed our tv and brought ice every day because we asked. Everyone else was nice and we enjoyed the service.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
We liked the ship. It’s older and needs some repairs. For example, our bathroom shelves were broken but we just worked around it. Nothing that stopped us from having a great trip.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Old but worked well. We had an inside cabin. The remote was missing and tv not working but our steward fixed it. Our bathroom shelves were broken but not a big deal.
Ship tip
There were great rooms on the ship that were not busy. We loved the Safari Lounge in the back and the boat. Also play the pool tables. There are saunas in the spa that are free to use but you have to go find them. We also loved going under the Tampa bay bridge while on the top deck.
We did the dune buggy and snorkeling adventure. The dune buggies were just cheap cars but we had fun. The snorkeling was short but nice then we drove to the other side of the island and relaxed on the beach.
We took a $4 per person cab to the main beach area. We got a couples massage on the beach that was great. $60 for both for an hour but we tipped a lot because they did great.
We took a tour to Xunantunich. It was great. The tour guide was informative and the lunch was good Belizean food. Xunantunich was amazing and you get to hike the main ruin. Make sure you can walk and hike.
Yes, love the positive attitude. I am sailing on an older ship next and I hope I remain as positive..all part of the cruising fun! Glad you had a great time.
