Too small to put luggage into closet. No refrigerator in room to keep water cold! Smallest room I’ve ever experienced on a Royal Caribbean ship!! Had to squeeze past suitcase to get into the bed!

Ship tip

Check size of room before booking!

You chose the smallest ship Royal owns. You also chose your room, they do list size of room when you book. Not all ships have a refrigerator in room. Just ask for ice from the room steward.

This Is an older ship and the rooms tend to be smaller than those on the newer ships. It’s always a good idea to check the size of the rooms when booking. This is easily available on the cruise lines website and other multiple sites that list the layout and square footage as well as photos of the rooms.
