Review summary

Prefer smaller cruise ships but this one was very good since capacity was around 60% and not crowed at all.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Only a four star rating due to the confusion when arriving at the check in building. One Royal employee trying her best to control everyone arriving. She needed more help and more signage needed to steer people to the correct line to assemble in. Other than that very fast.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was excellent no matter where we dined. The drinks we good but could have been better if the waiters did not make the drinks. Every waiter had a different way of making a mixed drink and there was no consistency. The bartenders should make all the drinks this way they taste the same.

Chop's Grille

5 out of 5

The steaks and food were exceptional along with the service. Worth the extra charge to experience it.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Zip line was great along with the rock climbing wall and Aqua show.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The comedians were great but the sword show was average and some of the theater shows was average.

Took a taxi to Cokie beach was it was very good and reasonable for chair/umbrella rentals. Cable car ride was great with excellent views for photos and you have to have a "Bushwacker" drink at the top.
