Review summary

Overall had a great experience but Royal needs to start stepping up their game and stop cheapening out especially with diamond members who are loyal to royal. Beds were super hard and bad for a bad back. Food was excellent especially in the main dining room as well as service and friendliness of the crew. “Formal” nights should be tossed... my boyfriend was sent away from diamond club for wearing loafers a polo and long tan shorts (which is all we brought). We went on Navigator a couple months ago and formal night was changed to “wear your best” which is what we packed for... not a suit and tie! Overall had a great cruise and will still continue to cruise royal but prefer the mid sized ships as the crowds and short staff was a little disappointing. Also had my time dining and requested the same table each night with Roger on deck 3.. asked 3 times to make a reservation for the following nights but was told it wasn’t possible... we sat at the same table every night anyway but couldn’t make a reservation?

Main dining was always excellent. Solarium for breakfast was a great and much more quiet idea than windjammer.

Always amazing shows... we had pretty crappy weather the whole cruise and a lot of cancelled and postponed shows but what they did manage to get through was awesome.
