Review summary

This was our first and will be our only cruise with Royal . Their communication about storm changes and itinerary was awful, The app you must use onboard has no good information on it, This ship just came out of dry dock a couple months ago and spells like sewage and needs tons of upgrading. Things I think should have been worked on.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

The food was mostly indian type spicy food, no variety from night to night. Not much flavor othr than it being just plain spicy and most things were always cold.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pools were nice, never too crowded

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The comedy shows were good but most of the other entertainment was very boring and did not have much participation

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Room steward kept the room tidy. But I did not feel the normal friendliness I have gotten from my previous cruises on carnival.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Areas were clean but ship needs a lot of maintenance. The ship had many areas that smelled like sewage all week

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Bed was comfortable,

The port sellers constant nagging to get you in their shop and to buy their products is very annoying

I don’t understand you got a cheap deal during hurricane season, but you’re still complaining
