Wonderful! Only issue was we had a panoramic stateroom deck 12, you could hear the guests in the next cabin. Needs more soundproofing!

Loved the ship A little dated in places Biggie was jacuzzi surroundings Entertainment was really good Dining room waiters were amazing Windjammer staff amazing Cruising Susan a great head of games. Big let down was that the bar staff were very slow on many of the bars But won’t let that put me off I’ll definitely cruise on this ship again

Really enjoyable 5 night cruise. The food was outstanding. Windjammer buffet was amazing. Evening meals in the dining room. Our waiters were wonderful, friendly and helpful. Waiters Francisco and Rohan deserve special mention. 10 out of 10 for their service at table. Will certainly consider Royal Caribbean in the future.

We certainly enjoyed our cruise at a very reasonable price. For a large ship there was plenty of seating and places to relax. We only used the buffet but it was fantastic - choice and quality and we have been on many cruises. Parking and reception was slick and excursions well organised with high quality guides. Staff everywhere on the ship lovely and helpful. Entertainment very good and varied. Cabin with balcony very comfortable but you are not in there long!

Was disappointed with vegetarian vegan options in the restaurant, mainly used the windjammer with much better choice

Our waiters kiran and Vijay in dining room 5 treated us like royalty. The were really fantastic and gave us 10 star treatment. Marsala in the cafe (starbucks) was very friendly, helpful and was always smiling. There were too many children on the ship who took over every area and there was no escaping screaming children, hence the 3 stars!! Needed more adult only spaces!!!
