We have been cruising for about 19 years. We've done Carnival, Norwegian and Royal and by far we loved Royal because it was a classy ship. But apparently the ship is larger but everything else was mediocre.
Staff-was always attentive and courteous on prior cruises...not this time, they were aloof and fake...unhelpful...their mannerism was like they did not want to be there...they treated all cultures the same, bad....
Activities-since the weather was overcast a few days, the activities were lacking because there are not enough enjoyable FREE activities on the ship to keep the customers engaged.
