Overall, this was a fun ship. The family had a blast, and we will be back. I never felt like I was on a ship with 6000 people. Royal Caribbean did an amazing job with the ship layout, and various options.

Food and Dining

We purchased the 3 night dining package. We ate at Chops, Jamie’s Italian and Hooked. All dining was great. I just wasn’t too fond of the Lobster Roll at Hooked; however, the Maine lobster was fantastic. I just prefer my Lobster Roll Warm.
MDR was good. Service by Renman and Bogdon fantastic.
Windjammer not for me, I just dined there one day. Salad station was good, but I didn’t care for some of the offerings. Kids loved it.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Cabin was clean, and had a surprisingly large amount of storage.
We did a beach break. The driver was fun, but once we got to the island, the hustle was on. I get it, this is how they make money, but I was just there to read a book, and relax. I don’t mind being approached, but repeatedly saying “no, thank you” was mildly irritating.
We purchased it several months prior, but I think it was roughly $75 per person total. They usually launch deals prior to your sailing, so watch for those. The price will be higher if you purchase on board. I believe it was a holiday weekend sale.
