Review summary

I wish there was a water machine like the coke machines. Overall, fun cruise. I have realized I’m not the cruising type, so this might be my last one. That’s not Royal’s fault. Everything went well for us and we had a great time.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We were suite class and boarding was extremely quick/easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

We bought the dining package and it was worth every penny. All restaurants were great! Drinks weren’t the best and we are glad we didn’t get the deluxe beverage package. We tried breakfast at the MDR on day 4. Horrible is a nice way to put it. If you love to drink water like we do, make provisions or stock up at a bar because there’s no where else to get it besides a bar. Having to fight through the lines just for water was annoying.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We didn’t do much but sit by the pool. That was nice. Get there early for good seats.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Grease, ice skating, and the magic show were great.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Service everywhere was excellent. Mylene, our stateroom attendant, was an angel

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

You can tell it’s an older ship, but it wasn’t impactful to our trip.
