Review summary

Other than rough seas we had a wonder trip the last morn through the whole day we can’t control weather or all vacations would be perfect my wife and I will definitely do on another royal cruise in the future

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation seemed very smooth for us at the small port. We had a early port arrival time so we kinda beat the crowd. We did have a jr suite so we had priority boarding. This experience was very neat because our party of 3 was the first passengers on the ship! I do suggest try to get a early arrival time because I think parking could become a issue later in the day!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
I myself did not care for the food. My wife however did. Cascades is main dining room very beautiful part of the ship to me the food was so so. Too fancy for me. Windjammers the buffet we ate breakfast and lunch there this food here was typical cruise food but we found the cheeseburgers and fries to be very good!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We only did a couple of activities we did a Disney trivia and we also did bingo! I must say the bingo portion was very very disorganized it was supposed to start at 4 it was closer to 430 the line was in organized we were Almsot late to our dinner seating time due to them starting later from what we seen of other things around the ship they seemed to be ok! I just think they were not prepared to handle the amount of people for bingo!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We had joeseph and Tracey for our dinners joe was very very awesome he made sure we are happy he made sure to let us knowimportant things. The last two nights of our cruise the dinner staff put on a small dance show and he made sure we didn’t leave dining till we seen the (party) he made sure we were having fun!! He also made my wife animals out of our dinner napkins

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Before I start this I must say this was not Disney!! But I can cay I woukd sail on this ship again! This ship is 21 years old I believe and some things look 21 but they do a very very good job keeping it clean and looking as good as they can! Royal keep doin what your doin!! The ships layout I really can’t review I don’t have anything to compare to as far as a smaller ship! I thought layout was ok they did have it mapped out well

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
This process was very simple we chose to carry off our luggage so we were off the ship early! There was quite a line to get off but that’s ok it’s all part of it! Very easy
