We booked this trip as a quick recharge vacation. The price for a balcony was perfect and being a re-positioning cruise, there were days at sea where it felt okay to do nothing but catch up on sleep, eat well, and read. We had an overall mixed experience.
What was good:
-Dining staff and services was fantastic. We ate in Chops and Giovanni and the main dining room and all our waiters were ...
I was invited to assist Seminar at Sea of Royal Caribbean beacuse Im a Travel Agent. In overall the activities onboard are good. The cordinance between Front Desk and Housekeeping its bad. I order a gift Online for delivering the first day and I received the last day. The food at night in the main dining are not good and the buffet in luch is not good at all. The only place that I enjoyed the food ...
Review is from a Diamond Plus Member, staying in a Junior Suite and did not eat in the main Dining Room – used Windjammer, Promenade Café and Room Service.
Tip: If you are going to book a Junior Suite – must consider 1102 or 1104 – as are all new cabins after January dry dock placed on the 11th floor (right next to fitness center) and only 6 cabins in area so completely quiet and larger than ...
We booked a two weeks cruise. The first week was OK, but the second week was a hugh disappointment as the exactly same menus had been offered as during the previous week, as well as the shows in the Lyric theatre, also many activities such as 'sexiest man alive' etc.
The food in the main restaurant was just OK as long as you did stick to 'American way cooking'. Whenever you choose a French or ...
Good:
Crew very friendly
Cabin attendant was very nice and freshened our cabin each time after we left
Tried Giovanni's one night. It was good but not great. We had an excellent server Freddy. I don't think I would go again. I don't see the value
Ship was always clean
Balcony cabin was large enough, but balcony was weird due to having metal on both sides. I felt closed in.
Mdr ...
Check-in disorganized with limited staff and line for 20 min. (not long but with pouring down rain and no one directing things got messy). RC didn't mention the port construction - inside is being renovated and should be completed at the end of April. Received Seapasses in under 10 minutes. .
Our room was not ready until 1:30 - ate lunch in Windjammer. When the room was ready – the toilet was ...
I have many complaints!
1. In this day in age, there should not be smoking in the Casino. It’s not the people playing, but people just smoking instead of going to the smoking area. In general smoking should not be allowed.
2. I had the premium beverage package and it states that Evian water was included, every time I asked, I was told it wasn’t included. I reported this to the head dining ...
Chose this cruise primarily for it's itinerary and for it's cost. This was my first time on Royal Caribbean, having cruised previously on Princess and Norwegian. Decided this would be fun and younger crowd, good since I was traveling with a friend on a girls trip and we're in our late 20's. The boat was very disappointing to me. It's an older boat by cruise ship standards and was definitely ...
This particular cruise had port of call that I want it to visit and spend some great time with my 19 years daughter. My friends booked it already and suggested to travel with them, since one of them had B-day. So we did it!
-TERMINAL CHECK POINT
I asked to give cash or credit card at the “registration” point and the lady said : no, you have to do it on board, at front desk. Very ...
I hope that this experience is not an indication of the standard service that the Royal Caribbean brand will now be providing.
Check in was a nightmare. New policies about who can and can't check in are in effect and not communicated. If traveling with a minor in a separate cabin if they do not ajoin and the adult in the room with the minor has not checked in, you have to wait until they do ...
