After two disappointing Carnival cruises, we’re back on Royal Caribbean — but can Royal do better? Today we’re boarding Quantum of the Seas for a 3-night cruise out of Los Angeles, and after our last two cruise experiences, we’re definitely ready to see if Royal Caribbean can turn things around. Of course, one of our first stops is the Windjammer. Carnival’s Marketplace was one of our biggest disappointments on our last two cruises, so we’re curious to see how Royal Caribbean’s buffet compares. But there’s a lot more to our first day aboard Quantum of the Seas. Come along as we kick off another cruise adventure and find out whether returning to Royal Caribbean was the change we needed — or whether we’re in for another disappointing cruise. And Alan even steps WAY outside his comfort zone at dinner and tries something he never thought he’d eat. 😂 So… can Royal do better?
