Review summary

I really enjoyed my three day cruise. This was my first cruise and a good way to get a glance on how cruise trips are. I would definitely book another cruise through Royal. The staff were amazing and eager to assist you. The food is pretty good, I enjoyed the buffet style better, since there are more options. There are plenty of activities to do in the ship to kill time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

I enjoyed the buffet better than the actual dining. The dining was limited with food choices and the first night it was a mess with seating but the second and third day it was better.

Onboard Activities

The fitness center was big and spacious. The pools were nice but were always pretty full.

Entertainment
