We are a retired couple and this was our first cruise. We chose this one in particular because it was roundtrip from Boston and the ports were of interest to us. We had two days to tour Boston on our own before boarding the ship. Our cabin was ready by 1:00pm and it was kept in immaculate condition throughout our stay. We were impressed with how the clean the entire ship was kept. We were ...
Embarkation in Boston was a breeze. We were on board within 30 minutes of arriving at the port. The ship however is in sad shape. Filthy windows, stained upholstry in the room and in the common areas. Entertainment was mediocre at best. Food in the main dining room was served cold and extremely salty or totally taste less. We had much better food in the Windjammer than in the main dining ...
Always trying to cruise new areas, we chose this as we had not been to this area of America before. Having cruised with Royal Caribbean before,we were classed as Gold Members & Embarkation was very swift (full marks). However we had to then wait over 5 hours for our cases to arrive, The cabin as as expected but wardrobe space appeared more than most (inside cabin). The ship is smaller than most ...
My wife and I have cruised 12 times...mostly with Celebrity & Holland America. This was our second Royal Caribbean cruise and we chose it for the New England and Canada itinerary. I would rate the cruise as a 2.5 .
I should note that we are not impossible to please cruise snobs. We recognize that that the crew generally work very hard to make the cruise vacation a great experience. And ...
We chose this cruise for a girl's getaway. Very disappointed in the food and service on this ship. This was my 3rd cruise this year. The food was the worst! In the dining room was served lukewarm at best. Most seemed like it had been sitting around long before it was served. There was an artificial, cheap taste to numerous dishes. Lots of dried out fish and pasta. ...
Chosen for the interesting-port itinerary, Serenade of the Seas also provided excellent entertainment, informative lectures, great food and very good stateroom service.
Can't praise our Entertainment-Cruise Director, Topi, enough! The shows were the best that I have seen and included a matinee featuring the top performers for a second time.
Our quiet, inside, third-floor cabin, 3127, was ...
First of all: itinerary was perfect, Copenhagen to Boston with four days in iceland. Ship was clean, but we found traces of poor maintenace on all decks. Nor elevators or stairs in the AFT, quite far away in midship. Most of the staff seemed to be new and untrained ... especially in the buffet restaurant it needed a couple of days before it worked half-way. Some crew members were kind and exerted, ...
My husband, who is an excellent sailor, has always wanted to do a long cruise. I, on the other hand, was less enthusiastic as I tend to get seasick in rough waters. However, when a cruise-discount company posted an unbelievable price for a balcony room on a transatlantic cruise coming up in three months, we pounced. Plus, Norwegian Air flew the two of us from Boston to Copenhagen for less than ...
The Transatlantic cruise was smoother than I thought with an older ship. The cabin was very clean, just a complaint that on the 7th deck, you cannot see down to the water due to the roof on the lifeboats, which is not designated as even partially obstructed in the literature - as we were told to look out not down. Also our room was over the "crack" in the roofs so we always had a night light ...
We choose this cruise because of the 4 days / 3 ports in Iceland and were not disappointed in our choice. The pre-cruise stay in Copenhagen was enjoyable and enjoyed the city tour and canal bout ride (arranged via Expedia)
Even though our arrival time for embarkation was to be after 1:00, the bus RCCL bus picked us up at 10:00 and we were processed reasonably quickly at port and boarded without ...
