The ship was beautiful and well-maintained. Room was comfortable, even with two teenagers and our housekeeper was great! The main dining room service was excellent - food was great most nights. The buffet offered a ton of choices. Kids had pizza and cookies every night before bed. Teens loved the Sportsplex with bumper cars, basketball, foosball and ping-pong. We will Rock you was an awesome show. The Gift and Spectra were a little too different for my taste, but the entertainers were definitely talented. Bermuda is incredible, but wished we had more time there!

Royal IQ did not work so don't waste your money if you had a big group. Would work in some sections of the boat and not others. Not all texts went through. Suggest using walkie-talkies if you're going with kids or a group so you can communicate. Soda cups were also a pain in the butt because you had to carry them around and there were only about 3 places to fill them. They were worth the price to get something other than tap water or flavored water that wasn't flavored at all.

Cabin Review

Spacious Ocean View

Cabin 2M

Our room was awesome and spacious for a cruise ship. We comfortably slept with 4 people in the room and instead of a porthole, we had a large window with chairs to sit and watch the ocean.

The only complaint is that we were at the front of the boat and it was very rough sailing with waves actually hitting the windows at times. The staff also had parties on the front deck of the boat which was one floor below us and we could hear the music and yell.

Port Reviews

King's Wharf

My daughter and I went on the Island Tour and absolutely fell in love with the Island and the pink sandy beaches. Our tour guide was great as well.

San Juan

The locals have great crafts and there are cute little shops to go in. A few homeless that were not friendly.

Labadee

Far walk to the beach where you can swim. They should really provide you with a map of the island so you know what is around and how to get there. Beautiful beaches. Most things are "extra" despite you "drink plan" and long long lines for food. We went back to the boat because of the lines and seating.
