Review summary

This was a trial run for my wife as she was unsure whether or not she would get seasick. She didn't and the cruise was a blast. The cruise director, along with the shows and activities, made for a fun trip.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Slightly chaotic

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We mostly ate at the main dining room on My Time Dining. The food was good and seating was easy, although we did sit pretty close to strangers.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I tried rock climbing, Flow Rider and one slide. The lines were long, which were expected. The activities themselves were just ok.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Most of the shows were enjoyable. The last show we caught was a bit boring, so we didn't see that through the end.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I can think of all but one person who were all amazing. Mostly all staff were smiles and very helpful. Our cabin attendant was very pleasant and helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Surprisingly the ship and room was quite clean, considering the boat has an immediate turnaround.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We were prepared to be in a small space, but we were very comfortable and we slept well every night. It was also very quiet, but we made sure we weren't around any of the restaurants, bars or pools.

Ship tip

Check your itinerary so that you can dress accordingly for dinner.

Ports of call

San Pedro (Los Angeles), California Did not visit port

I grew up in the local area.

Catalina Island, California Did not visit port

Been there before.

Ensenada, Mexico

5 out of 5
We booked a zipline that was not available through the ship. I believe it was a better zipline outfit and the grounds were beautiful and clean. La Bufadora was as expected..the food and shopping. Perfect day since we had our own personal car and guide.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy

Glad you had a great time! On your next cruise with Royal to solve the problem of sitting too close to other tables in the dining room ask the hostess at the front when you check in to sit at a private table. They will make it so you aren’t sitting a foot away from the next table LOL
