Review summary

This is the 2nd cruise I have taken with Royal within this past year that had a port cancellation. Very disappointing!!! Also in sharing with other passengers, this had happened before on the same ship earlier!!! Understand safety is important, but it seems like there is a pattern here.

Ship tip

I upgraded to suite level this time as a TREAT, this cruise overall was a disappointment!!! Not sure if I will give Royal another try

Ive been on numerous cruises...never had a port cxled....but i also tend to book during months where the seas are calmer......safty of the passengers is priority....and if its a tendered island and high rough seas its completely understandable to bypass the port....
