Review summary

After a terrible start, this cruise turned out to be fun and relaxing. Royal did everything they could to make up for the late United flight which caused the problem.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Our flight arrived 8 hours late to Miami. We arrived at the terminal 5 minutes before departure, just in time to wave the ship goodbye. The captain should have waited one or two hours as there were about 50 passengers in our same predicament. Freak snow storm in New York on an Easter Monday morning.

Loved Coco Cay - especially the floating bar, 400 yard sand bar and nurse sharks and stingrays swimming around the bar. Rented a Beach Lounge Chair but never used it.
