How come the sail away party was in the atrium? Every cruise we've been on the sail away is on the pool deck unless bad weather. The weather looked beautiful on embarkation day. I love being on the pool deck with a cold drink for the sail away party.
I agree. I always look forward to the sail away party on the Lido deck. It was actually cool and on and off rain that day, so they must have decided to keep it inside.
When I sailed on the Seashore there was a separate enclosed area of the casino for smokers. I am not sure if they have gone completely non-smoking since then.
@joshtovar8786 I will be traveling without my husband (military), and I have a 1 year old. I was wondering if the ship has drop off times for 1 year olds or if it's a stay and play type of care. I can only find info on 3 and up.
When the ship is at sea children from 1 to 3 years old are welcome at the Mini Club for dedicated babysitting from 1 - 2 pm or 6 - 7 pm. They have Baby Time which is play time with you and other children and parents at the Mini Club PORT DAYS: Morning: 8 - 10 am / Afternoon: 4-6 pm / Evening: 8 - 9 pm AT SEA DAYS: Morning: 8 - 10 am / Evening: 8 - 9 pm. Check in at the open house at embarkation day at the Kids Clubs and they will verify the hours and how everything works.
Just got off this ship.....not impressed at all. ONE complimentary dining option outside of the MDR, casino is way too small, bar staff was awful at EVERY bar (not attentive at all unless you flash that tip $$), the illusionist show was just outright embarrassing for MSC and himself, cabin attendant was pretty much absent and don't think our cabin was even cleaned on the turnaround, layout of ship was more difficult then it needed to be, the smart elevator system was hit or miss, and the MUSTER drill was an absolute nightmare. I will remain Royal to Loyal so at least I can say I tried MSC. *Side note: attaching a credit card to your cabin for onboard charges will result in a Foreign Exchange Fee at the end of your cruise. In all my cruises over all the years I have cruised I never been charged a Foreign Exchange Fee.
Hi @islandgirl3131. I think everyone hates the "smart" elevators on the Seaside class ships, LOL! We had a better experience as far as the service went. Our cabin steward was very attentive and even cleaned twice a day. I only had a problem with the bar service during the Sunshine Party when it was really crowded and we tried to go to the less crowded venues like the Brooklyn Cafe when possible. I didn't get charged Foreign Exchange fees, but maybe my card doesn't have them (some cards don't). Nothing wrong with sticking with Royal, they are a great cruise line! 🚢⚓
