This cruise was a booking as part of a larger group booking with families of 25 teenage girls that had a chance to dance on the ship through their local dance company. This is why it was chosen, with the idea in mind that Bermuda is a relatively crime free island and a place where we felt comfortable to take such a large group overall. This was my 4th cruise with Royal Caribbean and fell within our 20 year wedding anniversary.
I usually do not write reviews, but this cruise with Royal Caribbean was less than stellar. First, this is the second time, of my past 2 cruises on Royal Caribbean; we were supposed to receive an onboard credit and did not receive it. Once on the ship, guest services told us, once again, there is nothing they could do, that we would have to contact our travel agent at the end of the trip. It was only for a lousy $50.00, but it is still the point that they couldn’t offer even something in exchange.
Dinner service our first night was poor and slow until we complained, then it picked up the following services but it was still slow overall. We had the beverage package and it took nearly ½ hour to get a glass of wine. Service in Chop's Grille our second night was horribly long, we missed the captain's party because of it......2 &1/2 hours for dinner? The waiter was inattentive and the manager ended up clearing our plates. Again there was slow bar service at the table. The steaks and food overall in Chop's Grille were no better than in the dining room, I expected better quality for the extra $30.00pp it cost to eat there
Our cabin was the average inside cabin, our cabin steward, Rolly, was the best experience of our trip, always attentive and friendly.
