Food and Dining

The food was pretty good. The Italian night was the least favorite for me. The food was always warm.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The ice show was fantastic. We lounged at the pool most of the time. It was overall very relaxing as we got to choose what we wanted.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Angelo & Dhan provided above and beyond service in the main dining room. This is what sets Royal apart and made my main dining experience the reason why I sail Royal. I am so glad we met Angelo on the second day & were able to request him for dinner every night. Glenda Balneg our stateroom attendant was friendly & so welcoming. She did a great job at servicing our room and was on top of every request we had. Usha Toolsy from Guest services helped with a question I had and found the best option for us not the quickest answer. The best guest service experience I have had! Chihan from Jamie’s Italian was a great server and aided our food preferences. Shelton, Denmark & Ronald in the windjammer were so nice & took the time to talk to us. They provided excellent service. Kyle & David in cafe promenade were extremely hard working & were quick to clear tables & assist us with getting extra honey for our tea & ALWAYS greeted us with a smile. They all did an amazing job. The pizza counter workers work very hard and are always friendly even with rude kids. I felt like a million bucks everywhere I went. Even crew members just walking by at every time of the day greeted with a smile and hello.
