Review summary

Such and overall disappointment. I feel like I just wasted a whole lot of money. It will take some serious consideration about booking with Royal again. I was not a first time cruiser from Carnival, Holland and Disney and was excited to sail with Royal but again just a huge disappointment.

Sorry to hear you didn't have a very memorable cruise. Did you book your excursion outside of the cruise line and who did you book it with?

We were in a balcony and it was 4 of us in it and had plenty of room for our clothes. We were in 9350 different sail date.

Seems many of your complaints are beyond anyone’s control. Life is what you make of it!

Yes, they are going to stop the water activities if it is thundering, shocking. Nothing to do at a beach while stormy again shocking

I thought it looked pretty good for a 20 year old ship; but, that doesn't mean a whole lot when the AC goes out
