Well, I'll start out by saying I've now been on 4 cruises, 3 with Royal and this time around it is very apparent that Royal is starting to cut corners to save money. A few things I noticed changed from my last cruise on Royal in 2009:
1. drink of the day keepsake glasses are now plastic instead of glass
2. trivia/participation winners mostly receive keychains (I started turning them down after 3) instead of medals & RC fun prizes
The room was small, but had plenty of storage for 3 girls who are not light packers. The Pullman beds weren't very good, so request an egg crate the minute you get onboard otherwise you won't get one. I liked that the bathroom had a solid shower door as opposed to a curtain. I wish they would bring back that curtain that separates the beds from the sitting area so that the light from the vanity could remain on without disturbing the sleepers. Also, the hair dryer sucked so bring your own & a small power strip as there's only 1 (yes 1) outlet in the room.
