Review summary

Great cruise! I feel like RC should have other activities in Coco Cay for people who don't swim or do water activities. Cater to everyone!

Great place to watch the game for TRU FANS! Warning: game day can be a little loud and crowded but alot of fun!

Suite Lounge

5 out of 5

I 💘 this lounge it was so laid back. Very relaxing. Service was great also. They need to invest in a blender so you can order frozen drinks. I'm a suite guest and I shouldnt have to go to another location to get the drink I like and come back to sit!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
All the activities were fun except bingo that was a total rip off. $50-$70 for just 3 games of bingo.

Suite Sun Deck

5 out of 5

Good location to get away from the crowd. Loved the bartender. He had a great personality and was very informative.

Vitality at Sea Spa

3 out of 5

I was going to get a massage but after being in there trying to decide what I wanted 3 different ladies came in complaining because there message did not go well. Two of the ladies were badly bruised. One looked like she had been in a fight and needless to say she looked as if she was on the looooosing end. So that quickly changed my mind!

Retail Shop

5 out of 5

All the shops were very clean and well presentable. The variety was plentiful and prices were great especially the $10 sales.

A good variety of quality goods.

Casino Royale

5 out of 5

Excellent! I spent alot of time in the casino I also won a nice chunk of change! Can't wait to book my next cruise thru casino royale.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All the shows were amazing. The DJ played a variety of music which was good.

Royal Theatre

5 out of 5

Venue is very nice. I played bingo in this theatre wich I hate to say was a total rip off. $40-$70 for 3 games of bingo is aweful! Plus you have to pay$3 for a mini dabo and $10 for a T-Shirt. If I pay $70 bucks I should get a free dabo and t-shirt.

On Air Club

5 out of 5

This was one of my go to spots! The bartender made my pina coladas to perfection. The music was great and the activities were fun.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
I personally didn't have any kids with me but by the comments of others there were great activities for kids of all ages.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I give 5 stars overall because there were a couple of bartenders with bad attitudes. At the pool bar on guy had a nerve to raise his voice at me because he made my drink wrong. I politely smiled and still said thank you. So one or two people is not going to change my 5 star.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean at all times. The decor is amazing great artwork within the floor paintings.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
My suite was amazing! It was exactly like the video.

Ship tip

Be prepaired for an amazing adventure.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
I came a day early and stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel. It is within walking distance of Bayside. The shops and selection of restaurants was great we also did a yacht tour of millionaires row.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
I had alot of fun here. The shop prices were very reasonable and the people were very friendly and willing to negotiate prices.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
Beautiful! A little pricer than St. Kitts. also we went on a tour and the guy lied about having air conditioning in his van. He also lied about a couple things on the tour which I called him out on because I did a tour last year as well. But hey for $20 bucks what can you expect.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

3 out of 5
I personally did not like Coco Cay because I'm not a waterpark person. I feel like Royal Caribbean did not take that into consideration because there is nothing else there to do besides water activities. So we ended up being hot and bored.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We met at the coastal kitchen and was escorted down. It only took about a good 5min. if that to get from the coastal kitchen to our luggage and exit the building. Very well organized!

You wanted to go to Labadee, RC's other private island. With zip lines and Dragons breath coaster. Cruise line private islands in general are primarily beach days.
