Review summary

Lovely ship. Managers eager to improve food & schedules. Communication was poor & disorganized. They hadn't sailed for 2 years. The manager of the Windjammer had challah baked for us for Friday night. That was magnificent. I would rate this cruise 2.5 out of 4.

1 out of 5

Glad to see this ship finally back in service, being one of the last few coming back online for Royal. I imagine they are a bit rusty, but will hopefully improve over time. Glad you still managed to enjoy some aspects of your cruise.
