Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was good in MDR. Excellent in Chops Grill. Windjammer was good also. All of the servers in all 3 places made you feel like they were there for only you.

Cabin / Stateroom

It was a ultra spacious ocean view with only my wife and myself. Tons of room and we were able to use the 2nd room just for our cloths. Stateroom. Attendant.took great care of us and a new towel animal everyday.

We loved Pearl Island. Wish they didn't have to cancel Blue Lagoon but glad RC was looking out for our safety.

Very Disappointed in Maxxi's Beach club. Very small and ran down. Last May we were at a different beach club that was outstanding but it wasn't offered this cruise for some reason.

Thanks for sharing. We were also disappointed in Maxxis when we visited in April. Run down and dirty.
