Review summary

We had fun, enjoyed most of the food, loved the entertainment - especially games in the Star Lounge. Coco Cay is great. Again, if you have a young family, this my be a great cruise for you. Royal does a very good job at everything.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Excellent, we had “The Key” and didn’t wait at all.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Some MDR food was sub-par and some excellent. Food on Coco Cay was very good. Windjammer lunches were very good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

If we had kids, they would have loved it! The adult pool was nice and the gym very good.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Loved all the shows, entertainers and musicians!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our room steward was absolutely the best! Our regular servers in MDR were outstanding. When doing my Time breakfast, some of the servers didn’t seem to care. Bar staff were ALL excellent.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

VERY clean - rooms and space need an upgrade.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Our room was always very clean. Adjoining room balcony - not terrible, but lacked the sofa in a regular balcony room

Ship tip

This is a weekend Party Ship - my brothers idea for my moms 90th b’day. Really we should have saved our pennies and taken a normal 7 night cruise ANYWHERE.
