Review summary

We are always looking forward to our next cruise. We've been using BJ's Travel for years without any problem. Always an excellent price, great service, follow-up. Love the Park and Cruise at Best Western O'Donnell St. in Baltimore with free parking for the duration of your cruise, free shuttle to and from the boat, free hot breakfast, all for one night's stay. Once you go ROYAL, you stay LOYAL.

Food and Dining

Excellent food all around. Smaller portions in the main dining room than I remember from previous cruises. Specialty restaurant Chops was exceptional. Went there twice.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Went to fitness center every morning at 5:00am for an hour. Kept me down to only gaining three pounds in twelve days. Lots of walking helped.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Was disappointed getting deck two after 16 cruises. Small bathroom with a shower curtain instead of a plastic curved door. No shelves for toiletries in bathroom. TV shows just OK

Ship tip

Pick your own room and don't overpack. Did I mention DON'T OVERPACK??
