Review summary

I love Royal. They work hard to give everyone something. It is hard to make 4800 people happy. The weather does not always cooperate. However, everything that was in their power they did well. We already booked next year!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food on this ship was excellent. We tried Wonderland, Jamie's and Chop's as well as the MDR and Windjammer and the service and food were all better then ever!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We tried the IFlY, that was really fun. We did the bumper cars, played some ping pong, used the gym. Would like to see the track on a different deck since walking around all the deck chairs can be a challenge. But the activities on this ship are great.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Loved the shows and the performers are amazing. Really enjoyed the comedy!

Children's Programs

We did not use this.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward was perfect. Loved his towel animals. All the waiters and staff were excellent.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was very clean and lovely

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Comfortable, plenty of room. A little bit of noise coming from what was above us, but not too bad.

Ship tip

Choose a different deck then 13 due to the noise above.

Ports of call

Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey Did not visit port

Just used this port to get on the ship. It was fine.

Port Canaveral, Florida

1 out of 5
I think this Port is a waste. We went to Universal Studios. The trip there was fine. Universal was too crowded to enjoy in the 7 hours. I would have preferred maybe Key West or another Florida port.

Miami, Florida

1 out of 5
Unfortunately, and not anyone's fault, but it was pouring. So it seemed like it might have been a nice place to look around, but we did not get to enjoy it.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Loved this port. We did a Segway tour at Blue Lagoon. Loved Blue Lagoon. Would go there again. Walked around the town and finished the day with a sunset cruise. Of course the beautiful weather helped make this the best of the trip!

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
I did not have any trouble, however, it was unorganized and people were literally fighting with each other about cutting in the line. The Staff did not do anything to manage the crowd. Needs improvement.
