Review summary

Everything is excellent. The only 2 complaint I can think of are: 1, the long line for flowrider. It’s not very friendly for beginners because each person gets 2 chances. Beginners fall twice in one minute and be finished, experienced people can play forever with their 2 chances. It’s not fair in general when we all waited in line for equal time. We should get equally playing time instead of equal amount of chances to fall. That’s not equal. 2, drinks are bad… all cocktails do not taste any alcohol at all!!!!!! For $14/glass, absolutely no alcohol taste is not acceptable.

My child super like to play in the water (hope to have some more things kids can play in water) and the playground is great! She really liked the kid’s club the first day, but after had so much fun with us, she didn’t want to go back to kid’s club anymore…lol

After landing, we found a private tour, the tour guide is a scam. Took us to a super overpriced small restaurant and the food is not eatable. We chose a random restaurant, food was great. The tour guide also did not stop for all the attractions I told the lady who sold us the tickets. Rubbed me for an expensive free meal for himself… just bad…

I can understand one star for the tour company, but surely there was something in Roatan that was worthy of more than on star.

One star for entertainment? You commented they work hard and are professional. I don’t understand your rating.

How often does a person expect bedding changed on a week cruise?!

Thanks for sharing your cruise experience. Glad you enjoyed most of your cruise. Are you saying that your bedding was not changed from the previous cruise or while on your cruise? I’ve never experienced having our bedding changed during a cruise. We’ve cruised on many different Royal ships. Maybe that happens on other cruise lines?
