I went on this cruise with my friends and family, and we all had a great time. Because of the big size, it was a little hard to navigate, and The waters were a bit shakey. Other than that, it was mostly smooth sailing. We had a great time, but we did have to miss a stop due to safety issues in Haiti. Perfect day in Coco cay by Royal Caribbean was one of the nicest private islands I've ever been ...
This cruise was for our 3rd anniversery on the 11th. We cruised with Royal last year on Jewel of the Seas last year for our 2nd and had a great time. So this year we decided to take Royal again. And looking at Oasis it seemed like it had a lot of potential for a great time. I can honestly say the only great thing about it has been our room attendant and our immediate wait staff in the dining ...
We love the entertainment on most of the Oasis-class ships, but the shows on the Symphony of the Seas were absolutely spectacular and amazing--by far the best we've seen. The Aqua show, the two ice shows, RC's original show regarding flight and the Broadway show, Hairspray were top notch. We have been on Oasis, Allure, Harmony and now the Symphony. Symphony was by far my favorite based on the ...
To first-time and occasional cruisers, this would likely have been a five-star experience ... but those of us who've been with Royal for a while (as in the maiden voyage of Grandeur, now the oldest ship in the fleet), the differences become more notable with each trip. Our last cruise out of Galveston was on the Allure in late '22, so we have a comparison.
The most significant cutback is the ...
Seven night cruise on 3/2/24 aboard ICON of the Seas. The ship is beautiful, and our cabin was an accessible cabin with plenty of room for my mobility scooter to turn around. The bed is closest to the bathroom, with the sofa by the sliding glass door. See video. Although there are automatic door openers to enter the room and the bathroom, the sliding glass door is manual and is difficult to ...
It's been at least 10 ten years since we took a cruise. we just happen to be in fla. And decided to drive to miami and take a cruise, the weather hadn't been good in jan/feb. and don't get me started on the non spa. i guess those tired moms don't deserve a little break. the worst rub down i've ever had, along with the up, up, up sell to possible other treatments that you didn't need. there ...
Let me start by saying that I am a pretty laid back guy. Out of the dozens of cruises we’ve been on, I’ve been to guest services over an issue maybe twice.
We were traveling with a group of 8. My in laws and their dad were in one room. Several weeks before the cruise we called to verify it was one twin bed and one king bed in the room for them, as he is 80 and cannot get on a bunk bed. They ...
This cruise was out of Galveston so we could drive to the port. Our daughter alerted our family to the "kids sail free" special so there were 8 adults, and 7 children: 11, 8, 6,5, 2 1/2, 16 months and 11 months. They discovered that "any time dining" meant that you could not go to the dining room until 6:45 p.m. or later and a reservation was required. The buffet did not have a kid friendly ...
We have cruised quite a bit over the years and this one amazing ship. It is large (we had 7026 total guests and a crew of 2000+. We had an inside balcony at the aft end of the ship overlooking the arcade area. We could see the carousel, the water show and the gulf looking back. Not an ideal ocean view but not bad. At least we could sit on the balcony.
The food overall was very good. On lobster ...
We sailed two years ago on the voyager during Christmas and new year weeks. It was a back to back cruise. It included a sauna and steam room. They have been recently taken out(no more steam or sauna) and a large number of new cabins were added to accommodate more guests. The gym has been downsized. They have moved the crown and anchor from the 14th deck to deck 5 in the old card room It almost ...
