Review summary

As I said above, Royal Caribbean is not what it was. They cry about their huge debt but are putting out 3 new ships this year. Many repeat Royal passengers were not happy about the cutbacks. I will go back to Princess and Disney.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

They told everyone to arrive 1 1/2 hours after they were supposed to get on due to a medical evacuation -there were 6 ships in port and it was chaos.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Royal Caribbean is doing alot of cutbacks-there was no lobster tail night unless you paid for it. If an item you wanted was not on the menu (ex. shrimp and we know they had it) you could not have it. The whole classic side of the menu is gone. Bottles of wine that were on the menu were not in stock. Giovanni's was the same-I asked for a fruit plate for dessert and was told no-its not on the menu (the Windjammer is right thru the door!) We are diamond members and have been sailing for many years but Royal has lost me as a passenger.
