Review summary

Great ship, excellent remodel and fun cruise director. I think it gives the navigator a run for its money. Too bad it doesn’t do longer trips like a 5 or 7 day

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Easy and fast. Well organized

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Enjoyed all the food in the Sunset dining room. The other free options on deck were good as well. Would recommend doing the Italian place for lunch over the buffet. Guys burgers and the taco place were good. The bbq spot was just ok for me. The buffet was not my favorite. I found it to be jam packed all the time and not much selection.

Not a great spot for vacation but good for shopping and eating. There’s enough within walking distance to do. Next time, I’ll stay onboard.

Disembarkation

Face ID is the way to go for customs. Wish Royal had that on their side of the Long Beach pier. But overall it was easy and steady going.
