Wanted to return to Europe in a slow fashion, enjoying meals and entertainment on route.Cabin was very small and todayās style of larger cases are extremely difficult to fit under the beds - very little room and had to leave a case near bathroom. The sofa was tiny and barely held two people. The cabin was very tired looking and in need of refurbishment. Food on board was excellent and Windjammer ...
It was all that we expected. Calm seas virtually all the way. Only a couple of days with choppy seas. Average age of passengers was high but it meant all activities was almost always available. We absolutely loved the sea days, made the trip with it. Loved seeing only ocean for 6 days.
The itinerary was great. Enjoyed the various stops and sights along the way. It's great to see places one ...
First and foremost, my rating was based on the itinerary and ports of call. They were all beautiful, extremely cultural and lots of fun.
Celebrity is usually our cruise line of choice but we have sailed on Royal Caribbean several times with the last sailing in 2014. Oh, how times have changed. We noticed a definite decline in service due to a reduction in staff in every department.
Our ...
We always choose our cruises based on the itinerary and this cruise was no different. We liked the idea of a transatlantic for the relaxation, and were delighted to find that combines with access to 2 of our bucket list areas of the world - Normandy Beach and Flanders fields areas of the world. We took RC shore excursions to both areas.
The Normandy beach tour was excellent and very moving, ...
Service staff in general are hard-working, cheerful, and concerned about providing a pleasant trip. We found some managers less thoughtful, sometimes uninterested. There were stupid mistakes like running out of Purell and not being able to find a spare for over 2 hours- that's a managerial error. Moving the dispenser is not a solution. F&B staff should check the coffee machine before Diamond ...
I wanted to be able to go to the Virgin Islands and see multiple islands. We managed to be able to do that by getting on a Royal Carribbean cruise ship and making multiple stops. Everyone was wonderful even when challenged. I am very impressed at how well the crew members manage to try and make anything and everything happen for the cruisers. I am impressed how all of the employees managed to ...
Family and Friends sailed on this ship together. Ship overall is beautiful and HUGE! In comparison to past cruises on Royal and Carnival, I was not impressed with the lack of helpfulness and excitement the staff presented. Our room tenant and wait staff were incredible, but other staff throughout the ship were unwilling to help or explain how things worked or where to go to find what we were ...
Wonderful staff. Extremely friendly and dedicated. Quality of food was great and waitstaff were over the top. We had 3 kids ages 6, 9, 13 yo. They didn't care much for kids program. Pools were ok. Waterslides would have made them much better. Shows were great! The ship is beautiful! Excellent design. Although ship had 6000 guests Never felt crowded or overwhelming. Windjammer was surprisingly ...
We chose this ship because it was the newer one and it replicated new york city...which i love. this was no disappointment. it was amazing. our cabin was nice....shower was awfully small. very clean. our dining experience was excellent!!! our main dining wait staff was amazing. we thoroughly enjoyed going there and interacting with orlando and crew. we felt like we had known them forever. ...
Our dining room food and service was terrible. Food was cold and dining room bar service non-existent. We had to take our drinks from the Champagne Bar to the dining room if we wanted any beverages at all. On other cruises on Royal Caribbean they offered after dinner drink specials , but that has gone away.
Took 90 minutes to leave terminal after called to get luggage.
Cabin was very clean ...
