We just returned from our 4/9/16 sail to,Key West and Cozumel. Both sails we did not go for the ports but for this ship. What a wonderful, clean, service oriented ship. Tampa boarding a breeze, lunch delayed for the food inspectors were on board. That's a good thing. Still, Windjammer opened at 12.the food is still okay but I'm a salad person so my choices were great. I never had any dessert that I liked except the appreciation cake which was great. Chops Grille still had awesome steaks and service. The My Time dining worked much better. Food in Minstrel dining room was just ok but service again was fabulous.

Schooner bar was our favorite place, high five to Julie and Norm. Kronos band still the best but they go to the Radiance on July 1. Don't believe all negative reviews. Ship is great. We never encountered a rude crew member. Embarkation was not great. Full ship of 2100 people and only Three custom agents. Not Royals fault.

Cabin Review

Cabin superior balcony

Our room was such a surprise. Much larger than previous balcony. Huge balcony with chairs and loungers. We were right at aft and was the best location. See it all. Arthur, steward was so gracious and professional. Greeted us everyday. Showers still small but that was my only negative.

Port Reviews

Key West

Been here so many times. Love the chickens running around. Best place to buy tea shirts.
