Review summary

This was my mom's first cruise and our 6th. It did not disappoint. I'm so happy that she wants to do it again. We are Loyal to Royal and will be back ourselves.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
This was super fast and done flawlessly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was just as good now as it was pre-COVID. I sure miss it now that I am here on land again.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There is no reason to be board on this ship. It has just enough to offer and not be overwhelmed.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
All of the entertainment what was provided was great. I give it 4 stars because Saturday Night Fever was cancelled but you can't help that from time to time when COVID is still a thing.

Children's Programs

My 14 year old son prefers to stay with us. This is just him, nothing wrong with their teen program.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Best wait staff ever! Our assistant waiter could have acted as a waiter if needed. Our room attendant kept our room spotless. Everyone on the ship greeted us with a smile.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I love this ship's layout. It is the perfect size. It is super clean as well.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This was our first time in a promenade view and we loved it. Perfect size for 2. I love the couch in front of the window, great for people watching. It could have a little more storage behind doors but I didn't have a problem putting things in there new spots.

South Shore Excursions was great for their zip lining and eco walk on suspension bridges.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
We used Royal for this excursion and went cave tubing. It was a great excursion.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
First time at Paradise Beach and we will definitely be back.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
There was a person that they were looking for on board and they held up the entire ship until they determined that he could not be found. After we started moving getting off the ship was flawless. I wish they would go back to the way it was during COVID and have you wait in your room until time of disembarkation.
