Review summary

Loved the ship. It was at 50% capacity, so it’s hard to imagine what it would be like if it were full. But it’s tough to run out of things to do:

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Really smooth process, much faster than our previous cruise with RC five years ago. Especially appreciate that you can do the required safety briefing right from the RC app!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Main dining room and Windjammer buffet had great variety and service. It’s a bit of a hassle that there is no more self serve at the buffet, but understandable. The Hooked restaurant was fabulous, loved the oyster shooters!

Entertainment

4 out of 5

It was a bit disappointing to not have a Broadway show. But the cover band that played most nights in the Dazzles club was awesome. We also loved the comedians and the aqua show.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

This is truly an amazing ship. Really love the open spaces, especially Central Park (hard to appreciate all of the landscaping until you’re walking in it). And the ship was exceptionally clean at all times:

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Only downside to the cabin is that the AC was a bit finicky.

Ship tip

Take advantage of Coco Cay! This is a beautiful island with lush landscaping, perfect beaches and awesome food. We loved how everything transferred seamlessly from the ship (Wi-Fi, food and beverage packages).

No, they didn’t have Hairspray but they did have Flight for one night. We didn’t watch Flight and only realized now that it’s a musical. The description in the RC app and website don’t make that clear at all.
