Review summary

The cruise was very nice. The ship is old but it is clean and the staff is great. The food was the strong point. It would be nice if Royal had a new boat this size. As long as they keep the walking deck on deck 5!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

It was very quick and straight forward

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

They have really made improvements in the food over the past year. Food was good and service was quick.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

The ship does not have all the good stuff like water slides and the pool was small. The hot tubs did not have working jets.... If you just want lay out in the sun it was good.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

The shows are the same old tired things they did for the last 30 years.

Service and Staff

Ship Quality

Ship was clean but it is old. Love the walking deck on deck 5, that is hard to find on new ships today.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Cabin was clean. Things are dated though

Ship tip

The windjammer is way to hot! They need to fix the AC!

Miami cruise terminal staff are very rude and not well organized. Getting off the actual ship was fine though.
