Everything was awesome! We even had a rough day at sea the first day and would still do it again! Need better rates for Canadians, with exchange and how far we have to travel it makes it hard to do cruises as often as we would like.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Awesome, we didn't even know we were moving!
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Food was pretty good but could be a bit better in main dining room. Buffets were good. Need more salad options.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
The water in pools was freezing, even our kids complained this is such a big thing they really need to focus on this. Need better entertainment. 70's music is kind of getting a bit old, a focus on a bit more 2000's music during entertaining would be better. Better music at the pool as well during the day so people can dance and have drinks by the pool.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Piano bar and guitar singer was great but guitar guy didn't seem to know that many songs. They also should be playing more often and longer. They need two people to do this. We really enjoyed this aspect.
Children's Programs
3 out of 5
They thought it was ok and a bit boring. More video games for teens or open the arcade games up and let them go crazy for free or even a small fee. More board games or crafts for the little ones.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Efficient service but not very friendly with the exception of our room steward Arvin and server Jhun.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Nice carpets in rooms and halls a bit worn out and dirty looking.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Our cabin was supposed to be quiet as we thought we were near the theatre and ice rink turns out this is a night club at night. They did not have the night club the last night which was the night I wanted to go dance so I was very disappointed by this. At least tell people.
Ship tip
Bring gravol or motion patches for your ears and lots of $1 bills for tipping!
Royal should have a hop on hop off bus here to sight see and you could just pay that day or something. We were just bombarded by locals trying to sell anything and everything. I had no idea where to go when we got off so we travelled about two blocks and went back to the ship.
