Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Overall I would say the food is good quality.Some items are better than others.You'll have to find your cokmfort foods.We tried Chops Grill,Jamie's Italian,Izumi and Hooked Seafood.I would highly recommend Chops Grill and Jamie's.I would say they are on par with fine dining.Hooked was ok but not great.Izumi we would not do again.I wound up with food poisoning.

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Hiro,1977 and Flight were outstanding.Hairspray was ok but just not our style of show.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I would say most all of the staff was very friendly.We have no idea where our Cruise Director Ricky was.He was AWOL.He was pretty much just a voice on the intercom.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This ship is huge.You will get your exercise in.The crew is constantly cleaning.One area which is not great is the elevators.Sometimes you have long waits to catch an elevator.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very clean and well maintained.Plenty of room and storage.Our cabin steward Rudi was very friendly and anxious to please.

Ship tip

Be prepared to constantly be approached by photographers.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Did the double decker bus tour and Bayside Marketplace.Lots to do in Miami.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

1 out of 5
We did the Scenic Railway tour.The tour ended midway through the tour.The track had been washed out.I can't understand why the track is not checked in the morning before and trains leave.Royal was very quick to give a full refund though.We would not be interested in going back to St. Kitts.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
Better island with beautiful views.We took the Moutaintop tour.I would rate it a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10.I think if we did it again,we would go to a beach.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
This is an outstanding island.Plenty to do and very staff friendly.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy.We had the Key.I would highly recommend using a porter.They move you through traffic.
