After an amazing trip on Freedom of the Seas we were excited to be spending Xmas onboard Voyager of the Seas after the refurbishment. Unfortunately the boat, cruise and service were all disappointing.

The meals were average and lacked variety, the wait at any of the bars to purchase a drink was ridiculous, the service received was below expectations and the cruise lacked any Christmas spirit.
