We have been on several different cruise lines, and this was our second time on Royal, but overall we prefer NCL or Disney when traveling in a suite/concierge level. There are pros and cons to this cruise, but my review is partly based on cruising comparing concierge level cruises:

Pros:

Embarkation/debarkation was seamless. Best we have ever experienced.

Cabin Review

Royal Suite

Cabin RS

Our cabin was a two bedroom royal suite, and it was very roomy. Online it says it can sleep up to 8, but I think 7 is more realistic because the pull out couch bed in the living room really sleeps only one comfortably (unless you have little kids it could work). I traveled with three teens and two adults, so it was fine. The second bedroom has two twin beds, and two bunk beds to sleep 4 very easily, and the master has a king size bed for two (or they can be pulled apart to two twins). I loved all of the beds because my kids didn't have to share a bed (my kids are ages 12-16). The extra hall room closet was bonus storage space for suitcases that didn't fit under the beds, and extra room to hang clothes and put shoes because there are only shelves and drawers in the second bedroom. We had plenty of storage in the master bedroom for clothes. The master bathroom was kind of tight. It has a tub, but the shower is in the tub. We have traveled on other cruise lines and newer ships that offer a separate tub and shower, but it worked out just fine. Overall, the room was great. The balcony was the best we've had. It was huge, and I had the option of using a lay out chair on my own balcony if I wanted, but the main problem was hunting down and checking out a pool towel first (the chairs get hot). The TVs didn't always work well, and they should put one in the second bedroom so kids don't fight over just one in the main living area. There is also a TV in the master bedroom, which was nice.

The room was clean, lots of space and storage, but isn't as fancy or updated compared to newer ships.
