Review summary

Ship was amazing. Crew was amazing. Food in buffet and dining room cold and tasteless. No selection on buffet. Bread was stale for burgers and dogs every day. No nuggets for kids?? Worst food overall out of any Royal ship we have been on.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Terrible. Made us get Covid tests even though we were fully vaxed. Once onboard guest service refunded and stated that should not have happened

Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands

Pretty island but the excursion booked through cruises only was terrible. Supposed to be a boat ride turns out that the boat takes you around the harbor for 20 minutes only. By the time you return no time for hop on hop off. You should no longer offer this tour with boat ride
