Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Royal has really gone down in this field. The food wasn’t great and the buffet was far too busy. Quite disappointing!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Great activities but the lines were half an hour to an hour for just two minutes. Reservation didn’t help

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Great performers and all, but the shows, no storyline at all. Cool technology but I feel as if the shows were more to show off the technology than for entertainment.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5

Really good, but hard to make friends. Ship too big

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Mainly good! Waiter Santoro is excellent! Paula, Ben and Francisca was excellent!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Bit confusing but overall very good. Cleanliness lovely

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Cabin boy small but lots of cupboard space. Balcony very large! Bathroom very small. Soap and shampoo and conditioner one; small thing but shows the decline of Royal

Ship tip

Shore excursions were actually great but very expensive. WiFi not worth it. Lines always long and there WILL always be lines. Quality of food and everything and definitely decreased; you can see they want to differentiate between Celebrity and Royal. Activities still fun but ship too packed for such a small space. No longer loyal to royal but was still run just went on Celebrity before and was truly on another level
