Cabin was large enough for comfort. The bed was very comfortable. The cabin was quiet. Balcony was nice to have. Our cabin was kept very clean & tidy by our room steward.

Ship tip

Be sure you get a personal map of the decks & what is on each deck. This makes it easier to find what you want to see.

Kennedy Space Center excursion was very interesting

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

2 out of 5
Although the island was beautiful, the weather ruined our excursions. We had picked this cruise especially for CoCo Cay excursions.We looked forward to the Up,Up&Away Ballon ride & the Zipline & didn’t get to do either. Both our excursions were canceled due to the weather. It was very disappointing.

Nassau, Bahamas

2 out of 5
It was ok. We were disappointed in the Sea&See Island tour. The glass bottom boat views were not as pictured in the advertisement. Instead all we saw was sea grass & some fish. No colorful coral was seen. The bus driver for the island tour never stopped the bus to let us get out & see the sites as mentioned in the advertisement. Again it was disappointing. Definitely wasn’t worth what we were charged.

Disembarkation

Thanks for sharing your cruise experience. Looks like you enjoyed your time on the ship. Sorry the weather didn’t cooperate for your excursions at Coco Cay. I’m curious as to why you only gave 2 stars as Royal can’t control the weather and I understand your disappointment. Were there other aspects on Coco Cay that you didn’t like? Was your excursion on Nassau through Royal or independent company? If through Royal, make sure you let them know your experience in the after cruise survey.
