Review summary

Had a great cruise! 1st RC and we loved it! Will definitely cruise with RC again! Did the Royal Up and got upgraded to an aft balcony, was great!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Easy! Parked at port, waited a few minutes in line outside and walked in and went to counter, then walked onto the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Ate MDR, Cafe Promenade, and Sorrentos. All pretty good. We all had a drinks package and liked the freestyle cups. Did not like buffet the one morning we ate there before port. Service was always great! In MDR they knew what we liked to drink by night 2.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

A bit chilly. Water was cold, but no fault of RC. Service great! Plenty of seats. Hung out at Chill Island. Great drinks and food. Would love to go back during warmer months.
