Royal Shenanigans description on YouTube:

Welcome to Royal Shenanigans! We're the Royal Family - Cole, Panna, Reena, and Raj. We started this channel to share our adventures, big and small, with our family and friends because it's been a struggle to stay connected through the pandemic and some other tough stuff that's happened to our family over the past couple of years. We love to cruise and travel and have been working our way through the family bucket list. Our son is on the spectrum so adventures with our Aspie usually need extra planning, a lot of flexibility, and a great sense of humor (with the occasional meltdown because we're all human...) when things don't go according to plan . :-)

What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

i think hands down the family voted it our favorite trip of any any trip that we've ever been on

we really enjoyed our stay here um and the amenities and just the general area

very honored to be here for my very first president's cruise, ladies and gentlemen.

The crew on all of these ships are amazing.

this is a fantastic location just because one block up the road is Big Mario's Pizza Raj's favorite pizza place in Seattle

The Watch-outs

the gay agent loudly asked what was wrong with my 12 year old son that required him to pre-board

I hate this room. I've hit my head so many times

he was basically told that any, um, inappropriate movement could potentially paralyze him for the rest of his life

the internet connectivity was completely terrible and it wasn't just guest facing internet connectivity it was actually even staff I mean there was a lot of stuff

Of all the shore excursions we booked, this was the most disappointing for us.

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Royal Shenanigans.

  1. Be aware of headroom issues with Pullman beds if you are tall

  2. Block the motion-activated nightlight sensor if you are light sensitive

  3. Close curtains completely to block light from the ship's exterior

  4. Be prepared for noise from ship operations if staying in an aft cabin

  5. Check the alarm clock when you get into a hotel and turn it off if it's on

  6. Use the self-service laundry at the hotel for cheaper rates compared to the ship

  7. Consider using the Bright Line train station behind the hotel for convenient transport

  8. Request an extension cord if you need to use a CPAP machine due to lack of power near beds.
