Creator's Key Takeaways

Overall, we loved our first experience of Royal Caribbean and we thought the ship was fantastic. The only thing that let us down was the cabin.

We can definitely understand why people rave about the Wind Jammer as we to this point hadn't experienced a cruise ship buffet that was quite as good as this one.

We were not very impressed with it when we first entered the cabin as it had not been cleaned very well. There were also lots of signs of wear and tear.

βœ“Get to the ice skating show early to ensure you get a seat.
