Our last cruise on Royal was in October. Compared to previous cruises on Royal ships, the food outside of the specialty restaurants was not up to their usual standards. We gave them the benefit of the doubt, as the ship was just now getting back into service following the Covid pandemic. We cruise again in August on a France and Italy itinerary. Should be fine.
What ship are you sailing on in August? We are doing a Western Mediterranean itinerary on Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas in May. Sailing out of Civatavecchia (Rome) with stops in Italy, Spain and France.

We're sailing on the Enchantment out of Barcelona, the cruise ends in Civatavecchia. Our first Mediterranean cruise on Royal, on the Serenade, left from there.

Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas in May
I did a 7nt Eastern Caribbean on Symphony July '22; while the boat was nice, it was too big for me with my medical condition or maybe because my room was at the aft of the ship and I spent the majority of my time in the Solarium or Vitality Spa getting massages(forward). Plenty of stuff to do on the boat. If you have kids they'll have a blast! From the dry slide to waterslides, zipline across the top deck, rock climbing wall, the full size carousel in the Boardwalk and 2 flo-riders.
The main dining room food was okay. Symphony and Adventure both offered the same menu in the MDR, pretty much identical besides the lobster night on Symphony while Adventure it was an upcharge. I read somewhere that the menu will change sometime in February.
My sister, who has diamond plus status, hyped up my 1st cruise so I went thinking it was going to be a blast, what a major letdown. I just got off Adventure of the Seas and the voyager class is more my speed. A tad bit smaller but maybe because I got the junior suite on the lido deck and didn't spend much time outside the Solarium which was steps away from my room. Symphony's bartender were great, they kept feeding me drinks, 105 in 7nights while Adventure made me wait 15mins after I chugged my drink.
Been home for 6 nights and I still have sea legs. My 7nt'r on Symphony, sea legs didn't go away until 23 days after the cruise and pretty calm seas compared to Adventure sailing back into Galveston with 13ft seas.
