Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Food was fabulous in the main dining room both times we went. Some nights we opted for windjammer or speciality if we wanted something different. First time at Jamies Italian and it was fantastic and the service was excellent. Chops Grille is never a disappointment. We also loved playmakers for a more relaxed vibe. Food was also delicious. We used the park cafe alot for breakfast bagels, porridge, granola and lovely salads at lunchtime.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
My husband made good use of the slides, zip line, sports courts etc. Plenty to do during the day
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Due to bad weather most shows we're cancelled the first few days of our cruise and because we hadn't prebooked we weren't able to see most of the shows unfortunately. We did however get to see the ice skating show 2.0 spectacular. It was amazing. First time at an ice show and it was just fantastic. To be honest night time onboard got boring after a few days. The same thing over and over in the bars. So make sure to prebook your shows.

Our room steward Lenore wax excellent at her job.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship is amazing and so clean. We had an inside stateroom and were very impressed with its size and layout. Only downfall was we were on deck 14 at the back of the ship just under the pools. It could be noisy in the mornings as staff would be organising deck chairs etc
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Much bigger than we expected. I found the bed a little uncomfortable. Too hard for me otherwise it was a lovely room.
There were long delays through the port so we were one of the last to disembark. Luckily we weren't in a hurry to go anywhere. Royal kept us informed throughout the morning as to what was going on.
