Review summary

I have been on a few cruises and this one was my first cruise with royal.

Here is the good things about cruise which i will then post the bad.

 

Good

1. The room we had was a JR family suite. so it was larger then any other room i have ever been in on a ship. It was clean and plenty of room.

2. The staff that cleaned the room was super nice and did a great job. kids loved the Towel Animals.

2. Waiter staff was good overall. some staff here went above and beyond at times while others were helpful.

3. Boat was clean with plenty of room at the pools. had no real issues finding places to sit.

 

The bad

1. The Elevators  were slow. We had to wait anywhere between 5 to 10 Min at times. and then many times after that you would finally see one but it would be full and you would start the process again. This was a Major pain point for us and something that NEEDS to be addressed.

2.The Buffet was Crowded and almost impossible to find a seat during lunch.

3.The Hot dog truck is a great idea. However the women who was working it was SUPER SLOW and it Almost NEVER had Hot dogs.

4. The dining room  food was Sub par. not bad but not great. the other cruise lines i went on blow royals food out of the water.

5. show times were horrible. always had to rush dinner to make a show.

6. The Flow rider lines was insanely long and took forever.

7. They Canceled my IFLY session and never gave a reason.

 

With that being said its a nice boat and we did have a good time.

However  Carnival and Norwegian are better
