Creator's Key Takeaways
If you're stressed every time you order a drink, it changes the whole vibe of your vacation.
Copper and Clover, it is that English style pub right on the Royal Prominade. And it's honestly really became our living room at sea.
The Bamboo Room is a Polynesian themed tiki bar tucked away in the prominade and it replaced the old vintages bar uh which was a massive upgrade.
The variety on this ship is really incredible for its size. You can go from a tropical tiki vibe to a sophisticated martini lounge to an English pub all in one evening.
