Review summary

Never again. We are avid cruisers and have tried Royal now 3 times... This will be our last. First night I was served something I was allergic to, which caused a throat reaction and not being able to breathe correctly. Through a comedy of errors and poor service - I missed the first four days of the cruise due to sheer stupidity. The medical team gave me DayQuil... To which the first ingredient I am ALLERGIC. Main dining room staff apologized but blamed the kitchen. Medical team could not tell me anything and would not listen to what I needed (having had this allergy my whole life). I was offered a "future cruise credit valued for one day" and had to ask for my gratuities to be withheld as we did not dine in the dining room again due to service. Buffet was average. Rooms were outdated but we expected that. Ship was dirty and poorly kept up.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
Interior room. Laid out sideways. Typical stateroom. Was right above theater so in evenings or during events could hear the bass of the music. Room was dirty and outdated.

Ship tip

Ship was dirty and outdated. Found dust and dirt in very normal, seen places that was obviously overlooked for at least a year

RCL parked 2 miles from the train station (which is one hour from Rome). Provided free shuttles into Civitecchia, but even the dropoff point was a 20 min walk from train station.
