Review summary

Overall the cruise was fantastic. The ship is beautiful and a perfect size. This is only my third cruise with Royal and I will not rant about the Steward but I have pictures to prove how horrible of a job he performed,  and Royal has did their their

Best to compensate, but the fact remains it was an issue on board and nothing was corrected even though it was documented. I love cruising!! This is my 13th.

It's a shame management on board, with pictures, didn't assist.

Perfect location on the ship! One floor down, promenade with everything....port side.....quiet....no obstructed view.

Ship tip

Buy the drink package. Bottled water will make it worth it . Buy your excursions early via the in-room TV.
