Review summary

Loved the destinations but will not cruise with Royal again

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Fast and easy. Did not get luggage till 8:30 pm that night.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The dining room was very compact especially with tables for 2. The waiters were great and we got seated immediately. Food was very good.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Liked the adults only area but is was small and filled with towels on chairs being held. So never was able to get a seat by pool area.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Many events were repeated throughout cruise and cruise director was a big yawn. Seemed to only concerned with the pinnacle people he knew. We did enjoy the comedian that they had when we were in St Kitts. Great band in the central area.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Very friendly and efficient from the waiters to the room stewards.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Easy to negotiate and common areas were clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Room was small and needs some updating. Saw a lot of wear and tear. But otherwise comfortable.

Ports of call

Frederiksted, St. Croix, U.S.V.I.

A little disappointed how dirty it was. People were friendly and I felt safe walking around.

You should really give Royal another chance. Been on the Grandeur. I think it’s their smallest ship. Been on a few other Royal ship. Beautiful and never had a bad cruise.

I met a couple that had cruised w carnival and were 1st time on an rc ship. They dogged out rc and I just looked at them and said...you picked a ship, one of the oldest in the fleet about to retire...do your research lol

So everything was perfect but you won’t cruise with them again? Makes sense.
