I have cruised with rccl many times in the past. I had a problem with my next door neighbor playing and singing along with rap music from 1:30 am to 2:15 am. I called guest service twice and no one answered. Later they offered 15% of the cost of that cruise towards the next rccl within the year. That's $200. Wow. They give out one pen to a winning team for a trivia challenge. One pen total. We ...
My experience on Odyssey was generally positive, with a few hiccups. Here are some pros and cons:
Pros:
-The ship is beautiful, easily navigable, and well-equipped
-The staff were all exceptionally friendly
-My stateroom was spotlessly clean and had plenty of storage
-Onboard activities were fun and diverse, but you need to book ahead of time!
-The destinations on this ...
We have been on over 10 cruises & this was by far was our worst cruise experience. We did 2 Carnival cruises this summer, which were outstanding. So, many things went wrong with this one and we received no help from Royal Caribbean. A week before our departure I noticed that we were put into 2 different dinner times. We are a family of 6, our children are 8, 11, 14 and 16. We had to have 2 rooms ...
This was my first experience on a cruise.
Unfortunately, we booked 3 excursions ahead of time that were offered on the website and all 3 were cancelled. Last minute we booked a excursion to the blue lagoon and I felt like I was robbed because it was expensive, then we should have depart at 10:30 from the deck, we arrived at almost noon and have to come back at 3:15pm. That was a wast of money ...
Not a fan of inside cabins, wanted to try one with a window that overlooks the Promenade. Hubby is claustrophobic so invited sister to experience this cruise with me. The cabin did have limited space but with the window it made the cabin seem somewhat larger. Still do not think it would work for my husband though as he is spoiled by balcony cabins. We kept the window curtains opened during the ...
Overall, my husband and I had a great trip. The excursions were fantastic, the room was great and the staff are very personable. However, being a young married couple without children, there is very little entertainment catered to our generation.
Most of the entertainment was for the elderly or for young children. Unless you wait later in the night then there are a couple of shows or parties, ...
Cruise is terrible. Expect to pay way more once on the cruise. Absolutely nothing included. So u pay fortune for a cruise just to be nickle and dimed the whole cruise. Says has 4 pools but really there's 2 and never open both at same time. Overcrowded is an understatement. 80$ a day for family of for cleaning fees added to your bill. Food was terrible same thing everyday. Everything closes at like ...
Traveled with my husband and two teens. Not much to do for teens. Teen club was a huge disappointment. Ship was way too crowded. Couldn't get even 1 chair near the pools. People put their stuff on the chairs for the entire day. You're constantly online waiting, even sometimes at the buffet. Food is fine, very repetitive by the 3rd day. Kids had the soda package. Half the machines ...
This was my first cruise ever. I'm usually a plan my own itinerary, airbnb type of traveller. My husband and I went with 2 other couples, both of which were experienced cruisers.
The ship was very clean and well maintained. We had a balcony stateroom which was well laid out, spotlessly clean and had plenty of storage. My only complaint about the stateroom was the water in the shower could ...
This was our first cruise and recommended by our travel agent. It was amazing!!! Smaller boat so it was more intimate. You really made connections with the crew. The staff was so accommodating and helpful. Will definitely cruise again. All of our excursions were Royal Caribbean as well and were fantastic. We started with the chill out river rafting in Costa Maya, then the Belize rum city tour, ...
