We have cruised in Royal Caribbean two times and the most recent time was not at all a good experience. There were various problems. We took the Oct 2-9, 2022 out of Boston to New England and Canada.
1.) The ports were beautiful but the excursions that we did were rushed and not as interesting as we had hoped. The timing was off for the reversing rapids so we were there twice during the ...
We did an 8 night cruise. We've sailed on Oasis 2 times before, but never the Allure and we had a lot of fun.
We had 2 early teenagers with us and there were so many activities for all of us to do together.
The food was mostly delicious! We had a few nights in MDR that service was VERY slow. We did my time dining and had to wait for a seat a lot - 20 to 30 minutes usually - but sometimes ...
I’m going to break this review down into sections for easy reading.
The ship- the ship is very easy to navigate, but desperately needs updating. It has a lot to offer as long as you don’t mind huge crowds and A LOT of kids EVERYWHERE. The ship was overall clean except for some stains on the tablecloths in main dining. 3/5
The room- we had the balcony room. Room is outdated with limited ...
My family and I had a wonderful 7 night cruise on the Brilliance of the seas in September. I was our first time going abroad and Royal helped with all the arrangements. They booked the air fare and transportation from airport to hotel to port and all back. It went flawless. The room we chose had a balcony and was very spacious and comfortable. The room attendant was very good and always ...
VOYAGER OF THE SEAS – 9/25 – 10/2 NE/Canada
Just some random thoughts about our cruise.
Point of reference: We are 74. We cruise for the ports only. We have been on quite a few cruises but most recently our last three were on Holland America Koningsdam and Nieuw Statendam.
Boston embarkation was quick – our check in time was 11:30. The line to enter the terminal was fairly long but ...
I have been on 15 previous cruises, but this is my first time on an RCL ship. I chose it mostly because the port is nearby (Boston). I enjoy cruises these days because it's a real vacation; I don't have to figure out WHAT I'm going to make for lunch and what for dinner. I'm so sick of that! Also, to be entertained by music or karaoke or whatever is such a pleasure. Real people, not the usual ...
We had FCC to use so picked a fun and relaxing cruise and we were pleasantly surprised by the gorgeous weather and fabulous crew.. Vancouver and Victoria were so beautiful, and had great time in San Francisco. The crew was amazing. Everyone was so friendly and caring and it showed. Really made you feel appreciated and special. I think everyone was just so happy to be back to more regular cruising ...
Having cruised with RCCI since 2002, and now at Diamond membership level, we've noticed the deterioration in quality of service and amenities, however in 2021 we sailed twice on Anthem of the Seas. Even though the ship was only at 25% capacity, we had a pretty good time, the staff were friendly and cheerful and it was very pleasant.
This prompted a decision to sail on Anthem again, to the ...
This is our 6th cruise with RC and it’s our 10th cruise overall having taken Celebrity for our other past cruises. I mention this to give you context.
Port of LA
Prepare before you leave to be waiting quite a bit to drop your luggage as well as collect it after the cruise. Despite a timed arrival, the port was completely overwhelmed and under-staffed. Prepare for 60-90 min to get on the ...
We tried this cruise to see if we could enjoy the longer length and master the art of sea days. We failed. There were two couples in our 60s. We don't attend the dance parties, but enjoy the theatre productions and trivia sessions.
Day One- Embarkation- Vancouver and RCCL handled it brilliantly. We had a rental car and dropped the spouses off early before returning the rental at the airport. It ...
