Day 1/Embarkation day Con't. - Exploring the ship from top to bottom. We go to Lime and Coconut deckside for a sailaway drink. I'm more of a girlie or exotic type drink so try the Goombay Smash. (Photo below of drinks from the bar). We didn't have the Sailaway Party due to Covid, so it's a quieter sailaway that we are used to.

The rooms were ready (I think around 2:00pm or may have been just a little earlier) and they announce it over the intercom, so we go to our room to unpack our carry-ons and see if our big suitcase shows up. We had a balcony, and it had the basic bed, T.V. , small refrig. , safe, and small bathroom which is expected because we are used to the small spaces. The only weird thing was the closet door would always hit the bathroom door. So one person could not be doing stuff in the closet if someone was opening the door of the bathroom. No big deal, but it was a little annoying. They had the big space under the bed for your suitcases, beds were okay and I was fine with everything. I will say the only complaint I have, (which is really not a big deal or deal breaker) was the movie selection on the T.V. And here is where I will compare to Princess. Princess has the Movie under the Stars with the latest movies, and you can watch them on your stateroom T.V. They usually have the latest movies, like when you are flying, and there is no extra charge. I think there were a couple current movies and there was a rental charge. The other movies were kind of old. Not that I'm always watching movies in my stateroom, but sometimes when we want to take a break or rest, I would watch a movie. Like I said, not a big deal, just something I noticed. We get the big suitcase, unpack, and we had made reservations for the ICE show, dinner, and the Comedian Show.

| Embarkation night time |
We go to the Ice Show , which I believe was at 7:00 p.m. I made reservations on my phone. The show started 15 minutes late , ( which I realized later , most every show started a little late) and new we had reservations at 8:00 pm for dinner. So I was a little worried, because I thought everything was scheduled, but really I found out, not so much. The Ice Show is amazing!!! The talented Ice Skaters do a great job, and it was soooo fun watching them. Because we like to arrive early we had the best seats right in front and center. So if you want the best seat, go 1/2 hour early. Because of Covid the first row is vacant, so we were in the second row, and they have spaces between you and the next person. Also it is every other row, and when you leave, they have you go in sections. I remember hearing that unvaccinated people had to go the 2nd floor seating on top, but there must not have been many people because I don't remember seeing too many people up there. I can only assume there was a small percentage of people that weren't vaccinated for some reason because we had to show everything when we boarded. The rules are you can't videotape and I really wish I could because the photos just don't do it justice. And since I followed the rules, I don't have any video to show. I really think this is a "Do not Miss" show, you are right there experiencing them on the ice and can hear every little movement. Great job Royal!!
