Food and Dining

3 out of 5

We had several good meals at the dining room. We had many more meals that were terrible. Desserts were all tasteless ? I think the Indian head chef and his all indian sous chefs are not familiar with western palates or western food ? Quantity is placed over quality. I'd recommend shrinking the menu items and focus on putting a little time and love into the food.

Izumi Japanese Cuisine

Great food, worth the extra $$. It was a break from the tasteless general population food they served

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

The pool lounge chairs are reserved by older guests with towels and clips. Making them hard to find during the day. I counted 63 'reserved' vacant lounges empty while other guests circled to find one to use. Royal does not enforce their own no reserving lounge chairs policy that they have posted.
