Review summary

wonderful memories but not impressed with food and again not impressed with entertainment that lacks zest for a fun and exciting trip. last odyssey of the seas same way. prior royal cruises were more fun. going back to carnival , had a blast on mardigras and ship a lot nicer than harmony in my opinion and mardigras had lots more to do and more free food places

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

staff is great BUT royal needs to improve their cruise director and the activity crew. Jeff the cruise director is just BORING he should be a salesperson at retail store not a cruise director, his assistant a british gal that was like the energizer bunny needs to take his job and hire more people or they need to hire Matt Mitcham, retired Carnival cruise director. Carnival knows how to party and have a happy fun atmosphere. Royal needs help in this department. just boring

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

ship layout didn’t make sense

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Promenade interior view cabin. very spacious room and the window bench with a view was lot of fun, room faced boleros below, no noise issues. glad we tried it.

Sean people who just hard to please. And on 26 cruises, 10 of them royal Caribbean. Best cruise line and it’s very strange.
