Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The room attendants , My timing dining attedants, Bar attendants are doing an amazing job.. Good think is they remember your name and greet with the smile always. Some of them i had connected and interacted personally about their life on ship and away from thier families. We can clearly see how passionate they are about thier job.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

First day getting used to the ship layout understanding the decks, the locations is so easy. The rooms and the open areas are well maintained and the staff clean up the leftover plates and glasses in no time..

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

4 out of 5

Great private island.. Oasis lagoon pool and bar is my favourite. Decent food options but only after 11 AM. Friendly bar staff.. tram service is great, don't need to walk a lot. Beaches are very crowded and at times you will find hard to get a beach chair to relax

Nassau, Bahamas

Port is very busy with multiple ships arriving around the same time. Not many food options near the dock.. taxi people seems be a bit scary if you qabt to take your own taxi.. i suggest to take royal excursions instead of planning your own excursions for saftey reasons.
