Review summary

A little below my expectations! Way too crowded this time. Had better experiences on Symphony of the Sea in October 2018, round trip from Barcelona. Less crowded, cleaner Windjammer, better quality food, the best shows ( better than those in Las Vegas, LoL) Actually it’s not bad with the price guests are paying on this cruise. Btw, internet was terrible. Again last time had excellent connection for some reason……

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main Dinning Room and buffets were below average. I got sick after eating a cold burrito at Windjammer for breakfast one morning. I was served an orange juice that taste like water, thinking they were running out and just added some water to it!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Design and size are both the same as Symphony of the Sea. Don’t understand why it’s the largest ship in 2022 thinking it’s the same size as S.O.S. Too crowded in Windjammer, floor was dirty and some hot food was not hot such as French toasts…..

Everything was good! Last time had a complimentary wine and 2 Royal Caribbean Cups. I understood that the per person price was lower so cutting costs make sense.
