Chose this cruise for the itinerary and therefore the Excellent rating. Prefer the Freedom or Oasis class ships and still do. Missed the Promenade rather than the Centrum. Must say the food was excellent in the Windjammer and Main Dining. Cabin attendant was great. Main Dining Waiter was ok but his assistant was excellent. Did not try any of the specialty dining. Personally feel the price of alcoholic drinks have gotten out of hand. We are Diamond and found the Diamond Lounge very inadequate for the number of Diamond members on board this cruise trying to attend the happy hour from 4:30-8 pm. As Diamond, you are also offered the option of 3 free alcoholic drinks per member from the other bars throughout the ship during this time frame. Previous cruises there were few except premium labels. Now when you go to a bar you are given the choice of drinks printed on the "Crown and Anchor Happy Hour 4:30-8 pm" menu. That was surprising. Carpet in our cabin had been pieced in many places. Not sure what took place on this ship in the October dry dock. Still loyal to Royal.
Carpet and couch needs to be replaced.
