my wife and I took this cruise for a mid-winter get away and celebrate our up coming 30th anniversary. Over all about what we expected if not somewhat better. I will say that some of the theater entertainment was "high schoolish" reminded me of the high school drama club performers.. Also still trying to figure out why I was billed approx 150.00 more than my final on board statement showed.. The ...
Left from Port Everglades and did self park in ramp garage after dropping off luggage at terminal. Took free shuttle to the ship and embarkment was easy. The RC Serenade of the Seas was built in 2003 and it shows its age with the dated décor and smaller ship then there are available today and doesn't have all the amenities the newer ships do. Still the crew works hard to keep it clean and are the ...
We sailed the Serenade of the Seas for 11 days in February. The ship was sparkling clean, and the staff was attentive and friendly. The food was excellent.
We arrived at the port around 11 am and were on board 15 minutes later. We had a short wait at the security line and no wait anywhere else. After some lunch and a walk around the ship, we were into the cabin. While you could tell it ...
Great itinerary with 2 days on the sea at the beginning and end.
Excellent customer services by crew -- especially Oscar, Kamur and Gerald in the Reflections Dining Room and Caroline, Cabin Attendant (8518). Awesome job! All crew went out of their way to provide excellent services; however, these 4 stood out to us.
We have cruised 10+ times -- The Catamaran and Lobster Experience at ...
Destinations: GREAT..loved the islands..everyone was so friendly and nice to Americans.
Lovely warm breezes and warm days. Always felt safe..althou the taxi drivers and such can be pushy trying to get you to take a tour (but this was expected)
ONBOARD
Excellent staff and crew (excluding MDR waiter and Asst staff)
Stateroom attendant, WJ staffers, Solarium Bartenders, Spa ...
I am Diamond Plus and received a 300 cabin credit (issued on a Fall cruise in 2017) for this cruise. Could not pass it up and so I got out of winter weather at home. I prefer the Transatlantic (take this twice a year) for the activities and entertainment.
This cruise was so so.
People cruising the Atlantic for at least 12 days are more friendly and have interesting stories of their ...
We chose this cruise, because we needed to get away and all of our previous cruises with Royal Caribbean have been great! In general we had a great time, the waiters, cabin service were fantastic. We paid for a room with a balcony for a view, which was tainted with a work ladder obstructing our view, and we were not told about this when booking our cruise.
I would go again, but I think I want ...
Enough of white stuff and looking for warmer climat. After 19 cruises we can say that:
We can get much better/longer stay for the same amont of money.
RCCL has become a too large profit center on every things/activities offered and surely not worthwhile the price.
Dining has become a very low profile with very repeatable menus of low profile, surely the 2 formal diners were noting else ...
Background information
This was our 20th cruise and 5th on Royal Caribbean (we last cruised with RCI in October, 2017, on the Vision of the Seas). We needed a break from our cold winter and this 10-night itinerary suited our requirements. We booked the cruise in July 2016, after receiving some good information on promotions from RCI. We had cruised on a sister ship to the Serenade, the ...
