We chose a short cruise to see if we enjoyed it. Overall, it was a fun voyage, but we had consistent issues with staff, most notably the person traiging dinner guests on deck 3 on all 3 nights of our cruise. This individual was apathetic at best and openly hostile and antagonistic at his worst, and marred what otherwise would have been a lovely anniversary dinner. Royal Caribbean did not respond ...
This trip aboard Liberty of the Seas was my fifth time cruising with Royal. I have always enjoyed cruises, but there were several improvement opportunities this time. First was the main dining room for our traditional 7:45 seating. We were at our table for over an hour the first night before we received our appetizers. Our dinner took over 2 hours to get all our courses. We thought it was because ...
We went on a family cruise and this ship was extremely overcrowded and you never could get a table for breakfast! It's literally elbow to elbow! Very overwhelming! Also the fine dining food was very disappointing and nothing special. There wasn't anything for kids to do and all the shows were packed and boring! This cruise is not kid friendly nor fun for anyone. We were very disappointed and will ...
First and foremost, we only sail Royal. I want to start this off by praising the staff onboard. This is not possible without this amazing staff. My favorite part of any cruise we do is meeting the staff and feeling a warm greeting. We have been on 9 cruises now all with Royal. The ships are great and the shows are awesome. Thank you to every single staff members. You are what makes Royal the best. ...
We traveled on Icon two adults and two children ages 8 and 6 and had an amazing time. The staff were all beyond friendly. You could tell they had to work their way up to this ship. We were not a huge fan of the Adventure Ocean programs which, at least for our children's ages, never left the club. So, if you dropped your kids off during the day they essentially sat inside and played on a ...
We are senior cruisers so we did not partake in a lot of the activities designed for youth and families.
So what's so great? The elevator system stands out as a Hugh improvement. Very little waiting, mostly empty and many nonstop express rides all week.
Entertainment: They brought the best musicians and singers from other ships. Good house band and an additional feature band called Legends ...
The cruise ship itself was large and clean. The staff though was not trained very well and confusing to talk with. I had purchased the soft drink package which comes with a cup to use at the drink stations. I thought this might be addressed at the check in but that was basically a glance at your passport and sent aboard. I could not find any information other than to see guest services so I did ...
We won this cruise so saying anything except glowing reviews feels pretty ugly. But, because you want candor, here goes: this was largely a booze cruise which prompted less decorum than I would have liked. As a 55 yr old woman excited for a little unexpected getaway with my hubby, I wasn't necessarily surprised with the party-nature of many passengers. But, what I wasn't expecting was the nudity ...
This was an all around bad experience. Maybe the worst vacation I've ever been on actually. We are new to cruising, and had very high hopes. Choose not to disembark at a stop and nothing is open during the day- even though the weather was awful and most people didn't leave the boat. All the restaurants shut down mid day, the Flow rider is closed, the basketball court is constantly closed or ...
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 ...
