My overall experience on this ship was just "meh." I went with my mother, sister, and aunt, and we had two connecting balcony rooms. The rooms feel a little outdated, but thankfully the AC worked well in the rooms and stayed cold throughout most of the night. Our room attendant was great, but he never told us his name! Dinner was the most chaotic thing I have ever experienced on an RCL cruise. We were always told to show up at 7:15 PM for dinner, but our table would not be available every time we showed up. My aunt would always speak to him every night and get him to get us to a table sooner with our server, so that was a plus. However, I would never recommend a 4-5 night cruise during Spring Break.

I think the most significant negative on this cruise was the actual guests. Most of the guests were obviously families or college students. All night I'd heard teenagers running through the halls screaming, banging on doors, stealing people's door decorations, and placing them on other doors. If not children, the ship at the time was giving "carnival vibes," if you know what I mean, with shouting, hooting, and hollering from drunk guests.

The food in the main dining room was hit or miss. I think the weakest "themed" nights for their new menu are the Caribbean night and Italian night. Many of the appetizers/main dishes were not good. The Wind Jammer was also average at best with the food served there.
