5 out of 5

Embarkation no issues , fast as usual.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Food quality dropped significantly, I don’t know if it is because it was a 4 night cruise, but didn’t enjoy the food at all not what I am used to RC. Windjammer buffet for lunch every single day same dishes not variation and almost 90% of the dishes were Indian, nothing against Indian food but not everyone likes it.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Same thing every day no variation, kind of boring. They remove the prizes from the Trivials. Very disappointed.

Nothing wrong with this cruise. You might want to check out Virgin cruises. Only 6-7K per person there. I just got off the Freedom of Seas and it was nothing but top notch from start to finish, fwd to aft, port to starboard. You seem like someone that wants to be waited on hand and foot. The windjammer was fine. Different food every day, my time dinning we rarely waited and got more food than we could eat and great quality. While I appreciate your feedback, it's not accurate. Hope you have a better experience next time.

Well how many RC keychains and pens does one person need? Lol. The short cruises are always more booze cruises than the 7 day and up. I will agree the new MDR menus is not up to the standard we had come to expect on any Royal ship.

I guess since it was my first cruise I enjoyed it very much. Staff was wonderful I love Indian food, and if I didn’t like something they made sure to cater to me. I wasn’t in everyone’s business to notice ppl getting drunk. I ran into two guys that were pissy drunk n I thought it was funny. I don’t drink n I couldn’t bring my Medication because ppl like this would complain n get me in trouble… so being completely sober I had an amazing time on our girls trip… because we made it amazing… YOUR ON VACATION…. ENJOY IT…! No one can make ur day suck but YOU…!!!

3-4 day cruises are booze cruises everyone knows that so you should have been expecting that. The only time I ever won trivia back in the day I was awarded a Royal Caribbean branded highlighter marker so who cares if they cut the prizes lol
