With 3 hurricanes trying to mess things up, Tampa did a great job making things happen both leaving and arriving!
Considering bad weather, cancellation of ports, excursions, time changes, a few complainers…..one of the best cruises we have done! And I think this was our 42nd one with Royal.
So thank you Royal for a very enjoyable and relaxing cruise.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Great, not what they used to be but did not deserve some of the complaints we were hearing.
I will say, we did the (I believe it was called) Taste of Royal….this was fabulous! Service…perfect! Food…beyond perfect, drinks…amazing. Let me put it this way, was a bit pricey but we will be doing it again.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
We really can’t give a good review with this, we were very lazy on this cruise and really didn’t do much. We did want to play Bingo but couldn’t because it was to close to our dinner time to participate.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
We enjoyed most all of the shows.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
We did not encounter even on person that was staff any where, anytime that we could say anything other than….they were fabulous! Went way out of their way to make sure we had everything we wanted . One of the very best yet.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Only thing that caused a lot of backups was at the bathrooms near the theater. Only 2 stalls in the ladies room? Someone wasn’t thinking. They were very well taken care of, just not enough stalls. To all of us, it looked like 2 more stalls would have fit quite well.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
But I was our cabin steward! You need to find a whole ship load or cabin stewards like him!! Fabulous!♥️♥️
Ship tip
Get on, relax, enjoy and treat your workers better than you do the other passengers. Don’t listen to complainers…nothing will make some happy.
Port was really good, enjoyed walking around.
We did the Mangrove tour with a Shrimp Boil. Tour Guide and boat driver were way beyond great!! Oh my goodness the Shrimp Boil….way more than great and so much food! We eat this dish a lot at home, so we really wasn’t expecting very much from this….boy did we ever get a big surprise!
We are looking forward to doing it again and recommend it VERY a highly to everyone.
