Review summary

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

5 out of 5
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.

This was by far, my favorite meal. Our server Marleus was awesome! Entire family agreed this was their favorite dining venue.

Onboard Activities

Tons to do, but I didn’t take advantage of all the activities. I don’t think you could ever get bored.

Ship tip

Experience the shows, and just relax & have fun!

Ports of call

Basseterre, St. Kitts

4 out of 5
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.

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
No excursions. We just flew in, and are flying out. I’ve been to Miami many times. Great place.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quickest disembarkation ever! No issues at all.

Great. Thanks. We’re not going until May 2020 but I’ll keep checking....

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.

What was the price for the 3day dining package??
