Review summary
Use enjoyed the ship. It had tons of activities and the music at night was great. The food we did not like at all. the service used to be so much better. people used to be so much nicer. I was told a couple of times to move out of the way or to get out of the elevator because it was reserved for VIP. I understand they pay a premium but I wish they would find a different way to treat us commoners who still pay a hefty price to vacation on their ship. Also, Labadee was removed from our itinerary. I understand it was for the safety of everyone, and I appreciate the fact that Royal Caribbean cared for the safety of its passengers, however we were going to the bahamas, why couldn't they just add a cococay stop? We were looking forward to a day at the beach and because it was too windy in Nassau, that excursion was cancelled as well, therefore, we ended up not going the beach at all in a caribbean vacation. I enjoyed the amenities of the ship overall, but I will not travel royal caribbean again because of their bad food, and service.Embarkation
