Review summary
Wonderful part of this cruise is being able to board in Bayonne. I have cruised on other Royal ships and enjoyed them very much since they were smaller ships.
This ship was crowded where ever you went. The promenade was very narrow and filled with vendors selling items. You had difficulty walking through this space in order to get to where you were going. The entertainment for children was wonderful, however we were four adults and found that we had very little to do in the way of entertainment. The shows were not good at all compared to other Royal ships and one had to be rescheduled do to technical problems.
We ate in the dining room for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and the food was good. There were so many children on the ship we had to seek solace at the pool meant only for adults.
In order to go on shore at Cape Canaveral one had to wait on a very long line to get a ticket for the tender. We passed this one up.
Lesson learned. We'll pass up these larger ships the next time we plan a cruise.

Ship tip
If you're going with children there are a lot of activities for them. If you don't like crowds this ship is not for you.
Ports of call
