Review summary

We had a Royal time on the Royal Caribbean (pun intended). We had a veranda cabin on the Aloha deck. The December weather was wonderful. We cruised the week prior to Christmas which was a good time to go as the ship was not at full capacity. We really enjoyed the variety and quality of food items available at the buffet. We spent a lot of time in the Horizon Terrace area as a quiet place for meals and reading. We will definitely cruise with Princess again.

We ate mostly at the buffets which carried a variety of foods. We especially like the salads at lunch time. The staff in the buffet dining area was very attentive.

Onboard Activities

Used the walking track but mostly just relaxation

We went to hear the comedian which was very good as it was family oriented

We used the self disembarkation feature and it works well for us. We are the first off the ship and can get and early start on our drive home

We always have a good time with Princess. Went with them once and have never tried any other cruise line.
