Review summary

Love the Royal class ships. It's a large ship, yet never really felt overly crowded.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fastest ever with the medallion. Elites began boarding shortly after 11am

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Great food and drink. Did the chef's table - a very unique experience.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Matt O' is the best cruise director I've ever sailed with. Of course this was his last cruise on the Royal before his vacation and assignment on another ship.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Good shows as well as various singers and musicians around the ship.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Top notch - our room steward was especially good. Wine glasses appeared in our room when he saw we had wine, beach towels before port days, cleaned the room quickly and thoroughly.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Had a forward facing balcony, great view and an oversized balcony.

Ship tip

It's a big ship, take the time to explore it all.

Ports of call

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5
Built up a lot since first visiting 20+ years ago but still very enjoyable. Wandered around town looking in shops, had lunch, ended up at Medano Beach for some beach time.

Mazatlan, Mexico

5 out of 5
Did Salsa and Salsa excursion, a must do! Make 6 salsas and 2 margaritas while served a few other snacks, afterwards a salsa lesson with some beach time before heading back to the ship.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
More wandering around the town's shops before stopping for lunch, sticking our feet in the ocean and jumping in a taxi back to the ship

San Pedro (Los Angeles), California

5 out of 5
Not the most exciting embarkation port, on the flip side means you can usually get good hotel deals.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very quick (unfortunately.) Was going to our meeting place 20 mins early, when we got there said we could already disembark.
