After many people told us Royal Caribbean is the best cruise line we decided to take a last minute cruise out of Florida. My expectations had been set high from friends and family. So far I see a lot this ship and company needs to improve on.
I believe this was the first vacation I lost weight on. The food was awful. The food at the Windjammer (the buffet) was either undercooked or overcooked ...
Embarkation was the quickest ever - 20 min from entering building.
Food - really average and sometimes delivered cold. Speciality restaurants were found to be better.
Staff really good across the board.
Poolside music could have been turned down a little to be more of a relaxing feel.
Toilets - often found blocked and had to be reported to staff.
The ship is showing its age and ...

I went with my cousin on this cruise from LA to Miami via the Panama Canal. Overall, it was fine, but definitely not the caliber of cruises I had taken in the past (pre-pandemic) with RCC. My opinions are as follows:
Cabin: We had a junior suite, mid-ship, that met my expectation for space and comfort. The beds were very comfortable and the veranda had a lounger, which was nice to relax in. The ...
This was our 35th cruise on RCL, starting in 2002 on Explorere of the Seas. We sailed on Oasis of the Seas on its' preinaugural cruise in December 2009 and many times since. After trying for many years we finally got our family to join us. It was the first cruise for the grandchildren and only the second RCL cruise for their parents and our sons mother-in-law. We really wanted to get everyone ...
Chose this cruise for a Thanksgiving holiday getaway. The price was nice for just the wife and I. We had one of the rooms that overlooked the Royal Promenade. I enjoyed the room because you could feel the energy from your room. I thought the size of the ship was nice and not crowded. The shows, particularly the comedians were good/great. The Captain was very entertaining. The Captain talk was ...
The ship was really old and our inside cabin on deck 3 was full of mold in the bathroom. The interior was from the 80’s and looked really dull.
The service was great though and the restaurants was really nice with awesome service from the waiters. The Theater was also ok and provided various of artists, real proffesional ones.
The solarium was humid but not that warm at all, which was a ...
We cruised on the Carnival Magic in February and I wound up getting very sick and recuperating at home for almost the whole month of March. I took this as a make up cruise and, in spite of two stormy days, missing the Aqua show, missing CocoCay, and our visit to Nassau, we enjoyed ourselves. We had friendly, helpful waiters and a good room steward. Mama Mia, the Blue Planet, and Blades (the ...
I had been on this ship prior, several years ago, with my sister and mom. We had a great time.
This trip, my husband and a couple friends wanted to take a vacation. Initially we looked at an all inclusive but decided on this cruise as we wanted the Coco Cay experience (I had been there before).
We purchased the deluxe beverage package prior to boarding thankfully; otherwise we wouldn’t ...
This was our 18th cruise on many different lines (Carnival, Celebrity, Cunard, Holland America, NCL and Princess) and we wanted to try a bigger class ship on Royal.
We flew from Ottawa, Ontario to Newark airport the day before the cruise and stayed at a nice B&B in Staten Island. Took the ferry back and forth to Manhattan to see the sights which never gets old!
Embarkation –This was the ...
