Background, wife and I are longtime cruiser almost exclusively with Royal Caribbean. We are a young (60) year old couple that enjoy life to its fullest and were celebrating our (40) year wedding anniversary. Like most, we were a bit reserved about cruising during the pandemic. However, we are both vaccinated and healthy.
A specific reason we chose this cruise was the requirement that all guest ...
Well , let's start at embarkation , which was changed from 11am to 2pm due to a deep cleanse requires as norovirus was on the previous sailing. All went quite well ,considering. Although the muster was a bit of a shambles , as guests still walking on at that time.
Our first cruise , we absolutely loved it. Met some nice people , food was good , and most importantly , the service was great. Staff ...

Boarding was delayed because of Noro Virus on the previous cruise and long queues were causing some consternation for passengers. Fortunately we were able to bypass these as we are diamond members.
There was continuous cleaning taking place throughout the cruise to try and eliminate further infections and all crew must be praised for the extra work, often unpaid, to eliminate the virus. I have ...
We usually book inside cabins on the 18 cruises we have been on and we had cabin 7131 on this ship that we havent been on before.It had twin beds pushed together for a queen and my wife had to climb on the bed as it was too near the wall.Mornings around 5am the noise from above started. We phoned reception and 2 security guards who investigated said it was kitchen preparation and it wouldnt happen ...
As my title says it was so much better than I had been expecting from someof the reviews I had read. Getting on board at Southampton was a piece of cake, our balcony cabin on deck 6 was spotless and Bobby our steward couldnt have done more to help us(even reminding us that we had walked past our cabin :) ).The food in the windjammer was always hot and there was always plenty to chose from.I didnt ...
Being this our 3rd cruise and our friends 1st, we had the most wonderful time, my husband and friends husband are both wheelchair users and were catered for very good, the staff were very helpful and friendly and we managed to disembark every port we visited and used the special shuttle buses laid on for us which was a bonus, our staterooms were spacious and spotlessly clean with an ocean view on ...
The whole experience was fantastic. From getting on board the ship to disembarking at the end was made so easy for us. No hassle at the port. No hassle getting on the ship. No hassle with heavy luggage. No hassle finding the stateroom. (cabin) No hassle finding wonderful food. No hassle with excursions. You just meet up at a specified time and follow your guide to the coach waiting just off the ...
Having read many reviews, some positive others scathing, we were informed the day before sailing, there was an outbreak of gastric intestinal illness and the ship was going to have a deep clean, we boarded on the 28th September at Southampton approximately 2 hours latter then our allotted time. On our first visit to the Windjammer restaurant the food wax luke warm, this was pointed out to an ...
Just got back from a 12 night cruise around the med. This was our first cruise and having read the reviews (which some were negative) didn't really know what to expect. Check in was quick and simple. Once on board we were straight to our room which was very clean and comfortable. We chose a balcony, deck 7, room 7530. The room assistant was very good, she kept making us animals out of the towels ...
