Review summary

The ship being new, i expected Royal to put there best of the best on it. It was little less what i expected.  The ship was completely full, so i will give that a break.  What bother me was the cleanness of the ship.  Being new helped keep a lot of the general public areas looking good.  You never saw staff walking around cleaning like i have had on other ship.  First time getting off a cruise and most people in our part got sick.  As a matter of fact, one person in our group got quarantine.  Reason i mention it is because they noticed alot of other people were getting it as well.  So, something was spreading around the ship that infected alot of people.  Also the staff wasn't making people wash there hands as much as they have on other ships.  Our stateroom attendant didn't show up until the second day in the cruise.  When they did appear they would not do a great job cleaning.  With that negative out of the way.  The positive on the ship was the shows.  Shows were great, everything and more then what i expected.  The fine line was one of the best shows i have seen on any ship.  Our wait staff at dinner was also excellent.  He was experienced cruise employee and it showed.  The ult abase was also a nice feature, but not like the water slides.  Best thing on the ship for fun.  Also the adult only area was nice but i am missing the pool that they have on the front of the allure of the seas.   I love royal but this is the first time we had a flop overall.  I am hearing alot of this on the newer ships as well the staff is just not as good.  Still peffer the oasis class out of any other ships royal has.
