What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

We definitely give the nonfood related score of five out of five stars.

For the food, you can't beat the food. It is by far the best specialty dining restaurant food-wise on Royal Caribbean.

I loved it I would definitely give this five out of five stars

the food by far by far the best food I've ever had on a cruise ship

it definitely in my opinion is worth every penny

The Watch-outs

For my main course, I got a rack of lamb. It was disgusting. It was tough, it was grizzly, it was seriously, you can go to Costco and buy lamb and cook it in your own oven and make better lamb than what Chops made.

This port was probably our least favorite port we've ever been to

Dirtiest ship I've ever been on for Royal Caribbean.

the virtual balcony didn't even work and that's a reoccurring theme for my entire cruise

the only thing that's bad about aumi and it's really bad is the ramen and Udan dishes

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for 3rd Orbit Travelers - Videos.
