Classy beautiful ship with excellent officers, staff, and crew. All friendly and helpful. Dennis the Cruise Director was talented and just the best. Carmi in Windjammer took it personally that our every whim was more than satisfied. Also, Akshay, James, Chris, and the Supernova band (see above notes).

Entertainment
5 out of 5
The classy Virtual Symphony in Two70 room is thrilling, even after seeing it several times. But the live musicians are what keeps us coming back. We especially enjoyed the Anthem Orchestra playing jazz in Boleras Lounge, the Las Vegas Tenors, both of the 2 comedians when they did their all-ages shows, the Supernova band (bass player especially friendly to guests), the Candela band (drummer especially kind to guests),
and Chris playing piano favorite melodies was enjoyable and educational. My wife and I have cruised repeatedly with various cruise lines because we enjoy live music. Thanks to Royal for the great live music, making us now Loyal to Royal.

American Icon table 739, Sydeny and Rowena, helpful and friendly
Table 774, Jhonny and I Nengah, excellent service.
Carmi from Philippines in Windjammer, perhaps the friendliest of many wonderful crewmembers. Determined to help us.
Chunmei from China in
Windjammer pulled my wife's chair out, over and above what expected in buffet.
Chaewan from Korea
in Windjammer knew answer to my spot question on safety regarding fire extinguishers. (Sorry I tested her like that!)
Chaoyu ice cream server in Windjammer remembers which flavors her guests like.
Chunyan and Luis in cafe promenade, always smiling, even with the hard work.
Elston Venty windjammer supervisor determined to give exceptional service.
Windjammer napkin folders: Sharett and Monicia behind the scenes relentlessly working without much contact with the guests, what would we do without them?
Akshay Mantri, guest services, very friendly, kind, helpful, professional, and polite. A happy, peaceful man.

Classy elegant ship. We hate to see it leave Bayonne next year. Shout out to housekeepers of the common areas working hard. Beautiful clean ship.

James very attentive and friendly, helpful, again, another crewmember eager to help any way possible. Love the balcony! Good sized room. Impeccable cleanliness.
