Review summary

Had a great cruise despite some service issues and gross food/poor drink selection. We bought the beverage package but quickly discovered the majority of alcohol brands they advertised were not available. Was told they were only serving limited alcohol selections. Food quality gross except for specialty restaurants. Ship but as also not maintained well. Junior suite was spacious. While we had a great time we both felt royal has gone downhill compared to carnival or NCL. If you book a Royal cruise go for the newer ships as that is where they are putting the money and better staff,etc. the ice show was great. Grease was hilariously bad. The actors were miscast and not good. I was entertained for the wrong reasons.
