Review summary

Ship is massive but didn’t feel overcrowded. Royal Caribbean need a long hard look at staffing and cleaning onboard.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Long queues and staff screaming instructions.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food was average in MDR and the windjammer was poor.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Shows were really good. Didn’t really like hairspray but not a big musical fan.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Had some of the worst staff encountered on a cruise ship. Cabin attendant was awful as were some of the bar staff. However to balance this out some were brilliant. Royal Caribbean need a long hard look at who they are recruiting.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Ship is simply not kept as clean as it should be.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Room not cleaned correctly and missed totally one day.
