I was not impressed with this cruise. The ship is outdated and is not up to standard with current cruise lines. The decor is old and not clean looking. (bathroom furnishings had cracks and shower a little moldy in grout lines, which ofcourse you can't miss cuz it is inches from your nose,haha) the cabins in day 1 and 3 had a toilet smell. We made the mistake and brought the children. Not young kid friendly, maybe teenagers would have fun. My husbands first cruise and he was saying he couldnt wait to get off the boat. Not that many things to do w/o spending a lot of $$$. I guess I was actually shocked they try to jam 4 people in a cabin that size. thank god my kids are small! I would recommend Carnival, even though I heard great things about Royal, we will not be returning. I guess this is a good value ship, but don't expect bells and whistles here!
