We were in a 3 family large group with 17 people. The cruise was arranged by a travel agent, but we still had to do all of the data-entry and check-in on lien with Royal. So I don't think using the travel agent added any value. Royal's web site has performance issues. It is often not available, and not very user friendly. It was very hard to link two rooms together on the same billing. Phone support was not able to help either so I had to get this fixed at check in.
