Review summary

The cruise was good. It's been awhile so it was great to be back. It was a relaxing cruise and a perfect fit especially when your traveling with 2 elderly people. We found the ship to be over capacity with not enough staff. We also found that the staff were very blah. The food in the Windjammer was ok. It's the same everyday and the food overall is ok. Too many long lineups for pizza at the Promenade.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
We chose the 1:00-1:30pm check in because we drove into NJ that morning from Toronto. But even at that time we had to wait in line for awhile. But because I had all the paperwork in order it was all smooth after that.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
We all got the Refreshment Package. So we just got our basic sodas, mocktails and Starbucks like usual and it was good.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The ship was over capacity so we hardly used the pool. We just waited till we got to Bermuda to use the beach.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Royal never misses when it comes to shows. Their magician onboard, DJ's, orchestras and the performances are amazing.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Our stateroom attendant Sharon was lovely. Always came back to a clean room. Our main dinning waiters Fletcher and his assistant (forgot his name) always went over and beyond. However, I feel they were under staffed. There was something missing from previous cruises.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Beside it being an older ship, it's well maintained and clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin felt ok. I haven't stayed in an interior room in a long time. We always got balcony. It was small, but it was cozy.

Ports of call

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
This was one of the best disembarkation I ever experienced. So fast and easy. Even at customs, they just took a picture and walked right through.
