Review summary

Royal used to have great food but its gotten cheap. Several items, including lobster, were listed on the dinner menu for an additional cost. The buffet was weak with very limited items. It felt as though they wanted you to go to the specialty restaurants so they could make more money. Many others we spoke to complained about the food. The stops were great, especially Russia and Sweden. I would go just because of the stops but th efood is poor.

I like objective and helpful with tips and "constructive critics" no plaintive reviews :(
