Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We had one night in a main dining room where the food wasn't that great, other than that dinner was always good in the main dining room. In the speciality restaurants the food and service in the Crown Grill were excellent, Sebatinis the food was soso and the waiter kept complaining about how busy it was and the service and food were mediocre.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
I did not do any onboard activities

Cabin was very clean, furniture and carpet could be updated.

Look around for other ships going to the same places that stay in port longer

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
They supposedly had issues with customs so there was a delay getting off. One piece of luggage was not with the rest of our luggage. I received a call later on after we were on our way home they had found it and now it cost me $106.00 for fedex to deliver it.

Considering getting AirTags for future travel, getting too many horror stories these days.

We do the self walk off with our luggage as I despise looking for it in the morning. I also then don’t worry that I packed something I needed. Glad you enjoyed your trip

Glad you had a pretty good time. Glad they found your luggage. I always fear I will leave a suitcase. They are often not together so if you have several, better keep a count or something so you don’t forget one.

First time going on a cruise. The cast and crew of the Royal Caribbean were great.
Never again.
Alaska was magical, the royal princess not so much
