Creator's Key Takeaways
I think when the first thing you would see when you get into the Royal Prominade is how beautiful it is and open. It it it's massive.
It's a great ship. Don't write it off just because it's 25 years old. I think it's a good ship.
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Book a room that you are going to be happy in no matter what.
✓Go see the ice show and go down those water slides.
✓Consider going a day early and staying a day late for less stress.
