Really wonderful cruise. Will definitely take another Royal Caribbean cruise.

Fast, not crowded, great cruise staff assistance throughout

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Loved our main dining room waiters, good buffets, food variety and quality was excellent

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pools were large enough for number of cruisers; fun activities like zipline, mini golf, wave surfing, huge water slide, and more

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Comedy show (excellent), ice skating shows (excellent), Hairspray stage show (excellent), music varied best was Muzak Express. Would have liked some more Caribbean music at the pool area.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
We had kids in our group who kept asking to go back to the kid's clubs and daycare areas.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Especially our wait staff in the main dining room at dinner. Room steward was available and very responsive. Loved our towel animals.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Took about 3-4 days to truly get the way to go for everything but there was plenty signage. Very clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Good views from the balcony. Comfortable sofa and vanity areas. Bathroom spacious.

Ship tip

Look at the deck maps to determine where you will spend most of your time and locate your cabin. If you want close to most activities, stay in the aft of the ship. If you want to be in the quieter section stay in the forward of the ship. Center you either have to go aft or forward.

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Lots to do off the immediate area of port, including a swimming pool. Take bathing suits and towels.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Not much close by to the port for sightseeing without an excursion or taxi ride.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Great fun and beautiful island. Royal Caribbean did a great job on this port.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Simple, easy, and fast. Waiting to get picked up was a bit difficult due to the sheer number of people departing and arriving in the same place.
