I love Royal’s “broadway” shows. The ice shows in particular are fantastic as well as the Aqua shows.
Last month I sailed MSC for the first time, the Magnifica, one of their smaller class vessels. Absolutely beautiful ship with over a dozen bars and lounges. Nearly every one had live musicians, no DJ. Every lounge or bar you walked in had excellent musicians. Royal doesn’t come close to that in my opinion. They used to, but have cut back on it.
