I am a native Romanian. I can say that Romanian and Italian are the closest to Latin and to each other. I can understand most written Italian and some spoken without having learned it at all. Spanish is also pretty close - I can understand a few things of it. French and Portugese are more far away, although knowing Romanian helped me a lot while learning French.
