I have read negative reviews but would like to say we had a great time on this smaller, older ship! The crew was so nice and they work at keeping you happy! We were always doing something and we would cruise again with Royal Caribbean. The good stuff- food choices were endless and plentiful we did my time dining for dinner most nights and windjammer for breakfast and lunch and were satisfied with all choices. The bars were always mixing up something good and although we did not like the drink package price, extremely high to us, we still bought it and utilized it and all of the bartenders were gracious. The evening entertainment was fun! And the on board band was very good. I wish the shows were a little longer, they were about 45 minutes but 2 times most evenings. The played in the casino and enjoyed that, not a lot of winners that we noticed but still had fun.

Our room was small but enough room for two. The shower was extremely small and that was disappointing but we managed. Lucy, our room attending was so nice and cheerful everyday. She did a good job keeping our room made up and the bed was very comfortable.

The shore excursion to the Mayan Ruins that we took in Costa Maya was a wonderful experience Luis our guide was very knowledgable and made the trip educational and entertaining. Cozumel had way too many pushy vendors and I really didn't like that, they were almost in your face trying to sell you stuff and I just wanted out of there! But the beach area is great! Bahamas wasn't as bad with the vendors but was irritating especially the taxi drivers. The pirate republic bar had a tour and free beer and it was a good stop.

Cabin Review

Cabin Room with window

Cabin was very clean, bed was comfortable, closet big enough, drawer space could be bigger, shower very small but having the hand held shower head was helpful.
