Review summary

The ship is amazing and we had a wonderful cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
This was relatively hassle free and smooth.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The majority of our dinners were eaten in the main dining room. There was a good variety of tasty dishes to choose. Our servers were excellent, friendly and always had our drinks ready at the table.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There are plenty of things for people to do.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All of the shows were world class.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff are exceptional and were ready to assist when needed.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We found the ship very good in general, although we did not appreciate having to walk through the casino and the secondhand smoke to the dining room. I think Royal Caribbean should consider installing an air curtain to contain the smoke and limit the risk of legal action should someone suffer a health related illness.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Mostly, we found the cabin suitable for our needs. Our cabin attendant was exceptional and always went above and beyond to ensure all our needs were met. We would have liked more storage space.

Ship tip

If you haven’t sailed on a large ship, do it. We only noticed some movement on one occasion. Most times we have to remind ourselves we were on a ship and not in a resort.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
We selected different things to do at each port and enjoyed them all.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
The Shipmate shore excursion we booked was beyond exception. Our guide was excellent and it was very reasonably priced.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
There didn’t seem to be a lot to do around the port. Therefore I think we were wise to book a tour of the ruins.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We booked the Amazing Secret River and Costa del Playa shore excursion. This was soo good that we rate it as one of the highlights of the cruise.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Coco Cay is okay, but could not see the sense in paying for things that are offered on the ship for free. Time swimming and snorkeling at the beach was worthwhile.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
This was quite poorly organised with mass traffic congestion and no clear direction.
