We picked this cruise based on the strength of the shows, specifically the Queen themed, "We Will Rock You". Our departure date was on 3/27/2022. Once on board, we slowly discovered that there would be no shows. The first day we were told the app was down and that was why we could not book any shows. The next day, they finally told us that "We Will Rock You" had been canceled. It eventually became apparent that "Spectra’s Cabaret" and "The Gift" were also not going to happen. They were replaced with comedians and cover bands, which do not compare to the Broadway style shows. Because of the lack of entertainment options, this was the first disappointing cruise we have been on.

The ship itself was nice. The music hall was a neat venue. The crew was friendly and attentive. They have some unique features like the North Star viewing portal and sky diving. It was very difficult to get a reservation for the complimentary times but we did find one for the sky diving on a port day. The kids loved the bumper cars, arcade and Adventure Ocean.

Food in the main dining room was good. Windjammer's buffet was what you expect out of a buffet but not as good as past Royal Caribbean cruises. The Two70 cafe was a nice change of pace. We stuck with complimentary dining options and were not disappointed. Read more
