Review summary

This was a nice getaway to places we have been many times. Its nice to have an excellent ship for a short cruise. Royal has done a good job with addressing the specter of Covid still hanging over us. This was our fourth cruise since the re-opening and each one is managed better.

Since we had been on the ship 1 month earlier we only went to the ice show which was excellent.

We almost liked it better than the grand suite we had on the symphony of the seas. Big and open with great balcony.

Ship tip

We were disappointed that Royal has changed anytime dining to 6:45 at the earliest. Get on the ship early and visit the dining room so you get the time you want.
