Review summary

Omg... The pure frustration with the kids and adults with NO HOME TRAINING. This was my 40th cruise... I have never seen such bad behavior on a ship... Felt like I was on another cruise line... Couldn't enjoy the slides, pools or mini golf. Kids were screaming and cussing and laying around in the elevator lobbies and stairs. Plates and beach towels were left any and everywhere... It was a mess.

Great location in Central Park however the music was SO DAMN LOUD during the day. This isn't my first CP balcony, so I know the noise levels

Ship tip

Avoid spring break... 2000 kids and too many adults acting like they were on spring break.

What everyone hopefully does is write all frustrations they have with the cruiseline when they do the survey they send you after the cruise. I highly doubt they read this blog. Please fill out the survey and make it a point to voice your frustrations! Thank you.

Our Central Park balcony cabin was also rather noisy during the day, but we were not in there much. I totally agree about the kids. A 1am curfew is too late for the kids on board, and they don't belong in clubs at night when there is barely enough room for the adults. Royal needs a family venue where parents and their kids can enjoy family time together with other families that is open at night after the other shows are done

Some parents seem to think being on holiday means they get to take a break from actually parenting their kids

I agree but can’t blame the kids parents don’t watch kids and are as bad as the kids. The staff should also keep kids out of dance clubs after 10 pm. They were over crowded past capacity. Not to mention adults drinking alcohol and children don’t mix in a public setting. ship should have adult venues. I understand it’s a family ship but adults pay for the cruise too and to many parents don’t take care of their kids.
