The Voyager ship has so many things to do on it, particularly for kids. On a 5 night cruise, we didn't get to do everything. Favourite things: Flowrider, ice skating rink, ping pong. The service in the dining room was excellent. We actually didn't like the on-shore days in Vietnam - the people are very rude, following you around and pestering you to buy stuff, plus the traffic was dangerous with all the bikes zooming around and going through red lights - we almost got run over. So we wished we'd stayed on the ship instead of going on-shore. The two negatives about the Royal Caribbean company - 1. they say on their website to let them know of any dietary matters so I did, after I'd paid. They couldn't care less that we were vegan and they were extremely unhelpful, saying there was nothing vegan on the menu and we'd have to work it out for ourselves once on the ship. We were very fortunate that there was an excellent head waiter called Ismail on the ship, and we went to the dining room at his station each meal and he worked out special vegan meals and got the chef to prepare them for us. If it wasn't for him we would have starved. 2. I paid my SeaPass bill at the end with two cards - a Qantas cash card which I only had US$475 on, and the balance on my visa card. Subsequently I discovered that they charged the whole lot to my Qantas cash card which meant it must have used up some of my Hong Kong money that was on there. Not only that, but they charged the difference between 475 and the total not once, but twice to my Qantas card! I have had numerous emails with them and they have still not sorted it out. So while the ship, the activities, and most of the staff serving you on the ship are fantastic, the Royal Caribbean company and the way it operates needs a lot of improvement.

Cabin Review

Interior Stateroom

Cabin K

We had an interior stateroom which was fine. You don't need to pay thousands of dollars extra to have a balcony or a window - you don't go on a cruise to stay in your room. We were very happy with our room which had two single beds set together plus they pulled down a pullman bed from the roof which swings out from the side (there were 3 of us - 1 adult, 2 kids). The only problem we had was by the last day we'd run out of tissues and toilet paper. The steward should have replaced the spare toilet paper earlier in the trip. I had to send my son down the corridor to find a staff member and get some more toilet paper.
