Review summary

Royal Caribbean has ruined cruising. They are constantly taking things away and reducing quality while build bigger ships which only aggravate the situation.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Very smooth.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Worst cruise food ever. Terrible selections constantly repeated. Waiters were excellent, but always apologized for the food. Breakfast in dining room took a minimum of 90 minutes, resulting in people walking out.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Poor selections.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Need more variety.

Children's Programs

Did not use

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Waiters and Steward were excellent. They deserve better than RCL

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Tired and worn, but the right size. All RCL care about are the Monstrosities of the sea.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

Clean but very worn.

Ship tip

If you have an option do not sail on RCL

Baltimore, Maryland

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

1 out of 5

Over rated. Another way to reach in your pocket. No time cut here, for obvious reasons.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5

Time cut short. No explanation.

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

3 out of 5

Beautiful Port, but time reduced drastically. One day spread over night, rather that two days advertised. Should have reduced Coco Cay, or cancelled it.

Different strokes for different folks. There are still many of us that love Royal Caribbean. I was on that cruise and enjoyed myself very much. I will be on Vision again in July.

Yes, it's unfortunate that the food is not what it used to be. We sailed her in March and were very disappointed with food and entertainment.

Appreciate your details. Sadly, many cruise lines have done this since the restart. Hopefully, things will eventually return to pre-Covid standards. Sorry you were disappointed.
