This was a wonderful cruise experience with the exception of being quarantined for part of it. I will explain further on in my review.

I arrived at Fort Lauderdale airport on time, went to baggage claim, got my one suitcase and found the Royal representative. They would not confirm how long a wait I had but within 15 minutes was on a transfer bus to the port. (This was the most positive transfer experience I have had, normally at least an hour wait time.) Arrived at the port and I had reserved wheelchair assistance through Royal. Was placed in a chair immediately and brought up to the counter, signed in and was brought upstairs where a Royal crew member took my chair and brought me on the ship. I was on by 12:30 p.m. This was wonderful service, my experience with wheelchairs has been less than positive and this was so fast.

My cabin, 7623, was not ready but would be at 1 pm. Unfortunately there must have been a problem, all cabins opened but Deck 7, port side, it was 2 pm before we could go to our cabins. Arrived at my cabin and unpacked my carryon. Was very impressed with the cabin, I had booked a Promenade view cabin, which I loved. Sitting at the window seat and reading was very relaxing. It was a large cabin with more than enough room. Tiny bathroom but that is normal.

Promenade Stateroom

Cabin PR

Cabin 7623, Promenade View. I loved this cabin, it was right by the elevator. It was large and comfortable. I had a king size bed and the mattress and pillows were comfortable. There was one large closet and my clothes, shoes and luggage fit perfectly. There was plenty of storage space with the exception of the bathroom, very tiny. I had a wonderful view of the Royal Promenade. There is a seat right below the window where I could sit and watch everyone walking and the parade on the last night.

Cozumel

I thought Cozumel was beautiful. I just walked around the port area.
