The food on Royal Caribbean has declined from my past experiences. The staff was great at the dining room but the quality of the food was terrible. I didn’t eat my food most nights and resorted to the pizza later on. It was better than most of the food in the dining room and the buffet was even worse. Usually we only go to the dining room bc it’s been great in the past. Besides the quality of the ...
The staff were always kind and helpful. The ship was VERY clean and safe. My main complaint is that 85% of the seats in the English pub POKE YOU on both sides when you try to sit in them. I commented on this to fellow attendees and they all moaned about the discomfort of that pub's chairs. The obvious is "Don't sit there!" I know, but it was the location of the daily meet and greet for newcomers ...
My #1 criticism about this ship was the elevators...so really, that's a pretty good thing. That said, I don't recall a ship with consistently longer wait times than this one. I don't know what the reason for this is (programming maybe?), but it was enough that we'd usually end up bailing and take the stairs. Not a huge deal, but it would be if we had strollers/wheelchairs etc.
The Windjammer ...
I picked this cruise when I found out my 2 sisters were sailing on it . Jeannie has never been on a cruise so I wanted to make this a special time for her . I boarded the ship and waited in the schooner bar . And enjoyed a mock cocktail before going up to the windjammer . I saw my sister sitting at a table she was so shocked to see me . I was so happy to find them both enjoying lunch . We sailed ...
I booked my first cruise with Royal Caribbean as a tribute to a childhood friend (and RCL Employee). I was pleasantly surprised by pretty much everything. My only "complaint" was that the scrambled eggs at the Windjammer were gross, but easily forgiven due to other options. Didn't care for my meal at Jamie's, but that could easily be because truffle based meals just don't jive with my pallet. The ...
We have been on a total 18 cruises with Disney, NCL, RCL and Holland. This was a four night to Nassau, Perfect Day with two days at sea. We never felt the ship moving, it was smooth sailing all the way. We ate in the main dining each night and the food and service was excellent. You do not need to spend extra money on the specialty dining.
We had a balcony room on the 11th deck and slept ...
We really enjoyed this ship and the size of it. It was perfect really. We were able to navigate and figure it all out on our 2nd day.
This was our 2nd RCI cruise and 15th overall. The staff on Mariner were outstanding and really helpful. Pool bar waiters, bar staff, casino Bar Staff and cabin stewards were amazing as well.
MOS was refurbished a few years ago and is in great shape. We saw ...

We are Diamond Plus members of RCCL loyalty program and enjoy the perks that go with that.
The over crowded lounge was very niely solved with the generous number of drink vouchers provided each day. We hung around the Schooner Bar (our favorite since the demise of the R Bar on this ship) and found staff and selection of drinks great.
Why we did not give cruise five stars. Menue selections ...
This was nearly our 20th cruise and definitely one of the most fun cruises. The CD and her activity staff were pretty amazing. They just made the cruise an absolute blast. The definite highlights were Quest and Love and Marriage. And the shows were definitely better than average. The food was hit or miss. Some of it was good and some wasn't very good. The Italian specialty restaurant was ...
