Review summary

This was a great cheap cruise! The only negative really is the size of the solarium. With this cruise being mostly at sea, the solarium pool and deck area was often over crowded. I’ve been on all of the freedom class ships, and they’re so well laid out, with the exception of the solarium. The windjammer was always great. Never really a line to get food. One other issue was the freestyle coke machines. One or the other was often down in the windjammer. The main dining room food was pretty good, and the service throughout was great. The entertainment is always excellent on royal. Everything we saw in the royal theater was top notch. We had late night comedy, an accapela group, and the show grease. All were great, as were the love and marriage shows, and quest. There’s never a dull moment on royal ships. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a quick getaway. I love sea days, so this cruise was great for us!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
I don’t recall the stateroom number, but we did an interior room. It was spacious, however getting around the sides of the bed was very difficult. You had to step over the corner of the bed. The desk corner was in the way. Other than that, it was fine. Nothing special.

Ship tip

If you want to do the escape room, book it right when you get on board

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Cozumel is always a good port. Lots of shopping and activities to do. We went to Mr. sanchos this time. Was a nice experience in the pool. Very relaxing and pretty good food.
