Review summary
The Embarkation was the worst of all time of 49 cruises. Royal does not usually sail from San Pedro so they ended up at the end of the pier.
The people at the port did not give proper directions and it was not fun. They had us drive from the parking lot to the end of the pier and drop off people an luggage.
The shuttle bus would take luggage and passengers and it would of saved a lot of time.
The boarding process was done from a tent and it was hot, long lines, and little direction. We were sent to the wrong line and then the power went out and the whole process stopped.
We did not get introduced to our room steward the whole trip.
Our room had the last two cruise compass in the drawer, there was an old water bottle in the room.
The boat is an older boat with a lot of charm. It is ready for the Royal upgrade as the newer boats have flat screens in the rooms.
Great time after a bad start.
