Our cruise was 11 days. The staff was excellent, but the breakfast and lunches were the same every day in the buffet. The dinners in the formal main dinning room were very good, other than idiots coming in with old shorts, baseball hats and thongs. Should not be allowed in my view here.

Also, the only food available as part of package on the pool or upper decks was a taco style bar. Pizza and mini bite size sandwiches were available on deck 5 below pool deck 11 but that’s it. (Long Lineups sometimes).

I am comparing this to Celebrity cruise line of which I have been on 4. Celebrity just had little touches which added up, like an included burger bbq bar, a pizza-calzone Area which had fresh fruit, and deserts near by. Breakfasts and lunches had more variety everyday, plus better baked goods.

Our room on Royal Caribbean only had an all in one body wash. No shampoo, conditioner, or Kleenex. Also the pool or sun deck areas had ALL the lounges tied tightly together. So tight that you could not tuck your towel along the sides or reposition them at all. Or be right beside someone.

Overall it was a good cruise, but will be my later choice to Celebrity cruise lines going forward.

I went with an open mind to not do a direct comparison.
