Perfect for the first timer
May
Pros: Great crew, nice and clean ship, easy first timer destinations
Cons: unlimited alcohol prices too high, not enough water bottle filling stations, 18% gratuity added to EVERYTHING
Recommended: Yes
Royal Caribbean has their stuff figured out! The boarding process was very easy and was very organized which was great for first time cruisers to figure out. The tender and disembarkation process at every port was seamless. EACH AND EVERY crew member was kind, friendly, and willing to help out with anything. They really make the environment fun, upbeat, and enjoyable. We did not come across one single crew member that was unfriendly during the course of this cruise. We enjoyed our entire time on this cruise and will absolutely choose Royal again.

Mexican Riviera
November
Pros: Service staff and main dining experience good.
Cons: Staterooms need updates. No data ports, only 2 electric outlets, balcony door hard to open, Windjammer furniture worn. Weather cool leaving LA and returning at end of December which were sea days.
Recommended: No
The main areas of the ship were in good condition but the Windjammer dining room and staterooms need updating. Ice skating shows were very nice. No conditioner or lotion provided, only shampoo. Unable to purchase any sundries on board. Had to wait to purchase item in port. There wasn’t an empty seat in the casino and smoking was permitted in there. This ship did not have the Royal Caribbean standard’s I have become accustomed too. Personally I think the Caribbean is nicer and has prettier beaches. Was disappointed in the Mexican Riviera but that is not a reflection on Royal Caribbean.

Our Fun Trip
October
Pros: Ship was clean, big focus on cleanliness! Our room was nice, and the bed was comfortable.
Cons: Hurricane Norma - missed two ports
Recommended: Yes
Hurricane Norma definitely caused issues. Missed going ashore in Cabo and Puerto Vallarta was cancelled. We stopped in Mazatlan, then headed out to get ahead of Norma. They refunded shore excursions and also gave us some refundable ship board credit. We were impressed with the service compared to another cruise line we’ve tried in the past.

Nice Quick Getaway
December
Pros: Quick, convenient and matched our travel dates available
Cons:
Recommended: Yes
This was a great long enough getaway, yet short enough to be able to get away. There were two nights they didn't have a main show entertainment, which sadden us. Normally at the buffet I can't wait to try everything. This time there was some unique different food that didn't really appeal. The taco stand and ice cream stands were great!
