Creator's Key Takeaways
You can show up and you're going to have a great vacation. But you can show up and you can show up and have an amazing vacation.
The service at every restaurant on Royal was absolutely amazing. Can't speak highly enough of the teams that they do have on board, but the food... just was not very good.
It is definitely a big change and it is a change we've actually seen across a few cruise lines. Carnival has done it as well.
