Review summary

Fun, exciting, and relaxing all at the same time. Glad I made the switch to Royal Caribbean. I can’t wait until it is safe to cruise again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We arrived sooner than assigned check in. Answered health questions. We were on the ship in less than 20 min

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was great in the dinning room, specialty dining and buffet. I had the drink package. It was nice not to have to worry about how much I was spending for drinks. The drink package was worth it to me. I had about 4-5 alcohol mixed drinks, specialty coffee and bottled water throughout each day. I found the bar in the adults only areas to be the best. I had frozen vodka lemonade. The apple pie in the main dining room had me returning each night just for the pie.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Enjoyed all of the activities. There was always something fun to do. I enjoyed watching zip lining from the boardwalk balcony

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

I had a boardwalk balcony 3rd cabin from the end so I could see the water show really well. I like to sleep with the balcony open while listen to the ocean waves. I will book ocean view balcony next time. I’m glad I tried it. If you are booked in boardwalk it will be fine no worries.

Ship tip

If going to Perfect Day at Cocoa Cay get a Cabana on chill Island it was the highlight of our trip. We did not travel with children so the adult pampering was awesome. We had our own server for food and drinks. I felt guilty at first. She assured me all was well and to relax. We tipped her well and made great memories.

Disembarkation

I carried my own bags and was off the ship by 8:20 A.M. I planned to Uber to FLL airport. There was a van waiting and charged $20 per person for airport transport.

Glad you had a great time. We've only cruised Carnival and fingers crossed we'll get to cruise Symphony for 1st time in October. Thanks for the review.

We used to be Carnival cruisers as well, and love RCL now.

Don't know what line you sailed on before but I can tell you switching to RCCL was one of the smartest decisions in your life 😁
