Review summary

One thing not asked…. made the experience seamless. We’ve used them before and will again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
This could not have been easier. No lines and quick entry. By far the best embarkation I’ve ever experienced.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining food was good and wait staff was excellent. Windjammer was just ok. And Sorrentos pizza was frozen pizza quality.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
I only attempted volleyball. It was all open play with no competition and there was no staff to run it so it was very disorganized.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We saw the play “Grease” which was very well done.

Children's Programs

We weren’t traveling with kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The only knock on the staff were: 1) they didn’t enforce the adult only area so there were constantly kids in the buffet line and dining areas. 2) post Covid staterooms are only attended to once daily. Our attendant was fantastic so it’s just Royal policy.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was clean and well organized but it was a postage stamp. Very small and limited closet space.

Ship tip

We booked excursions direct through local operators. This saved us 20% and we had a more personal experience due to smaller crowds.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas Did not visit port

This was embarkation and disembarkation for us only.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
We dive with Roatán divers and had a good experience. Dive operator was excellent but I wasn’t impressed with dive sites on west side of island.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
We dove with Mar Adentro. They were also excellent and the dive sites were awesome. The reef is in pristine condition.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
For our 6th time we dove with Scuba Life Cozumel. They are the best dive operator I’ve ever used. They didn’t disappoint with service, dive conditions, reef condition, wildlife, etc. This was and is our favorite dive company and location.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Disembarkation was the opposite of embarkation. Long line to exit and only a couple of lines. Took us over an hour to disembark.

Thanks for the reference to scuba operators in each port. I have been curious about diving in Costa Maya.
