I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that the cruise itself was OK. I say surprised because 2 Royal cruises were on last year were pretty bad. On this cruise food in the MDR was ok, not great but acceptable. A couple of misses but in general OK. I was concerned that they removed the always offered items however we were always able to find something. I even thought the coffee was OK.

Food in Chops was quite good, we did lunch there. I think they are overpriced for dinner.

Crew was friendly, service was very good. I liked the show we went to. The excursion team was excellent. Much better than any other Royal or Celebrity ship I have been on. I was also happy with the excursions. One glitch was the team was a bit disorganized for the first port of call but that was all fixed by the second. Also loved the talks they gave on the ports we were about to visit. Read more
