Great cruise! Had lots of fun. We were joined by my elderly parents who had a wonderful time. Entire experience was fantastic, although the cruise was unusually crowded and added to wait times and availability. Ports were great for all who enjoy outdoor activities or just wish to site see and shop. Really a good time overall!

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Food in ship's main dining rooms range from just good to very good; buffet was good; specialty restaruants were excellent.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
This cruise is very children friendly!! If you like to lay on the deck and take the sun, jump in and out of the pool and perhaps get involved in some pool volleyball, then this cruise is for you! There are two rock climbing walls, giant slides, a merry-go-round and arcade on the Boardwalk, top-notch fitness center and so much more to offer.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
The specialty shows were amazing but sold out very quickly - be sure to book them in advance!!There are many daily activities to plan for but again, the ship is quite crowded and space is limited - if you want to attend an activity, you best get there way ahead of time. The live bands were fantastic, but I must say there seemed to be a lack of that Caribbean cruise excitement during the day - not much live music to be found, no one really cheering on the crowd to bring excitement - this was more reserved for the evenings. Deck 5 is where mostly everyone congregates afterhours for drinks, pizza, and live music. Again seats are limited - certainly not enough to accommodate the amount of people on the ship.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Ste staff was amazing!! No matter where you were on the ship, everyone is totally committed to serving you. If you're in the sky class suite group, you'll have access to special services including a dedicate concierge and reserved dining on the 17th floor - definitely a few steps above the rest!
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Ship design is awesome and cleanliness was impeccable! I gave this a 4 instead of a 5 due the ration of services to people aboard the ship - long waits for the elevators, Windjammer buffet seating, seating at eateries on the 5th floor, limited space at shows. etc. This may have been just due to timing, as I haven't experienced this on previous cruises with Royal Caribbean, but it was definitely a bit disappointing! That is the only negative thing I have to say about this particular cruise!
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Cabin was wonderful. We were able to have friends and family join us in this spacious suite with a wraparound deck at the ship's rear. Shower/tub in the bathroom, pillow top mattress, sofa and chairs, refrigerator, tons of closet space, dining area in the cabin and on the deck along with lounge chairs.
Ship tip
Book specialty entertainment in advance and arrive at shows early to ensure you have a seat.
