Review summary

Excellent overall, although only 2 stops. Lots of folks saying Royal needs differed itineraries out of Galveston. MDR limited menu, no classics, theme nights a definite negative.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Some confusion outside, but went from in line to onboard in 40 minutes!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Theme night menu & no classics is a game changer. Some nights the MDR menu had few appetizers or entrees that we liked. Windjammer no longer makes omelets to order. Coastal Kitchen excellent, and they still offered classics!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools, golf, rock climbing & zip line were great. No slides was a minus.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Aqua show fantastic. Mama Mia wayyyyy too long. Ice show more suited for kids.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward fantastic. Dining service staff excellent. Concierge way below average.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Very clean. Central Park still has dead plants/trees and empty planters. No excuse for this 3 months after freeze.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Aqua suite was fantastic!

Ship tip

Book shows early; everything sold out on our trip.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
Terminal very efficient. Park at the terminal area.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Very windy day, but a nice port with lots of activities.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

1 out of 5
We docked, then pulled out. They said due to wind, but there was less wind here than the other 2 ports.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Good port, but Royal has very few itineraries out of Galveston, so we’ve been to Cozumel many times.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We had priority disembarkation, but it was smooth for everyone.
