Review summary

Royal C. provided late boarding to accommodate the Ft Lauderdale airport tragedy on Jan 6th which was a big sigh of relief. I spent 24 hours trying to get reunited with my luggage and to my cruise port which would have normally been 4 hours but I'm thankful for being safe.

We also encountered stormy weather which prevented us from stopping in Haiti. 

Royal did a great job of making the vacation fun and I'm glad I was able to enjoy it.

It is small but they make the most with the space provided to fit 4 people.

We were unable to stop in Haiti due to weather. I've been there before with RC and it is a great beach getaway.
