The first time my husband and I cruised together, we joined our extended family in a big family reunion-type cruise on RCL's Mariner of the Seas six years ago. Since then we've tried really hard to be "Loyal to Royal," mostly because we were so impressed with the overall service, ship quality, and the line's desire to distinguish itself from the Spring Break crowd that normally gravitate towards Carnival's Fun Ships.
After this most recent cruise, we're going to have to rethink our "Loyal to Royal" commitment.
