Onboard Activities

One thing Royal needs to come up with a plan for saving pool chairs. I walked into Solarium a few times with all chairs taken but not even half the people siting in them. I waited and had a drink at he bar, chatted with friends and still so many empty yet taken chairs. They keep announcing that you must not save pool chairs yet it happens all the time. I didn’t really have much of a problem finding somewhere else to sit but it’s the point. I get I that people wander a bit or go to the bathroom but leaving 4 chairs o go have breakfast for an hour shouldn’t happen.

Entertainment

Very clean and well looked after Alain my room attendant was very prompt to clean every day and was always available if you needed anything.

Ship tip

This is a very large ship. If you go with a group as I did, set up a few meeting zones so you can run into one another. I was with 22 friends and it was quite possible to not run into one of them unless Iknew where to look.

I didn’t get off the ship because it was pouring rain. Went and worked out instead. I have been o Labadee before and it is very lovely.

Disembarkation

Pretty good compared to some years. I kept my luggage as I had to leave ship fairly early to catch a flight. I will ALWAYS KEEP IT FROM NOW ON, way faster
