Review summary

The cruise experience was overall amazing. The staff were perfect and very pleasant. I would like to thank Sylvan, Renalyn and Nabila from the main dining room. Reneeta from photography and Arnold the room attendant as well as all the people who I sadly don’t know their names for contributing to a lovely experience.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Johnny rockets was great, however I ordered the same meal twice and there was a noticeable variation in how it was prepared. Despite that it was great. The main dining room was perfect. Sylvan and Renalyn were perfect, the experience was very personal as it felt like they took the time to learn the people they interacted with, there were no issues in the main dining room

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The activities were good, however sometimes the app showed them as booked fully when in reality the activities were not fully booked. This resulted in some fun activities being missed.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The showed such as 1477 and Hiro was amazing, the performers did a stellar job, definitely looking forward to other similar shows from royal caribbean

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff members were respectful, kind, helpful and overall amazing. They contributed to an overall amazing experience

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The common areas were always clean, I noticed crew members actively observing and cleaning areas as soon as any mess happened. They were perfect

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The size of the cabin was larger than expected. I was a bit skeptical when I booked it but was overall happy with the experience. The cabin was always cleaned thanks to my cabin attendant. I had no issues with the cabin.

Ship tip

Try to experience all that the ship has to offer. Even if you miss booking activities, still show up as there is most times available space at the activity. Don’t limit yourself by assuming that activities that say fully booked are alway fully booked
