After a hard year where I lost both parents my husband and two adult children decided to cruise over Christmas. We were hoping it would help us not think about the people and traditions we were missing. We wanted to establish new traditions we could continue year after year. All of us were looking forward to this cruise.
Unfortunately, the experience was frustrating and the customer service ...
We chose Royal Carribean because we was told to avoid Carnival as the guests and atmosphere was not that of Royal. My husband and I are both active duty military and took this vacation as our honeymoon… quite literally the worse mistake of our life. My husband and I always have a good time regardless of the situation but this was too much to the point of day 3 of our 7 day cruise we just wanted to ...
We were a group of 9 (two families + two singles) who chose this cruise as a "splurge" for a group vacation this year.
I’ll preface by saying this was our first trip on an Oasis class ship, so we did have that “WOW” factor added to our experience.
EMBARKATION: An absolute breeze. We arrived about 45 minutes early but they still allowed us right on. We had an 8 year old (vaxxed) so we went ...
We booked a Western Caribbean Cruise on Allure of the Seas in March 2022 primarily because of the Cruise with Confidence Guarantee, plus the fact that the ship was at reduced capacity. I had looked into other cruise lines that offer free WiFi and alcoholic beverages, but we've sailed with Royal Caribbean in the past and have always had a great experience. This cruise was no exception. ...
We just returned from B2B 8-day cruises on the Allure. We have cruised on the Allure in the past.
Embarkation went very smoothly.
Once on board we headed to Deck 15 to enjoy the Solarium area until our cabin was ready. This is how we start every cruise on an Oasis Class ship. Our cabin, a Balcony on Deck 8 was good, not great, I'll talk more about that below.
Entertainment was good - ...
April 2022 Timing was right …. It was an ad hogue booking…. Food was poor at few available sources, it was my 3x on the Allure. I found it ok… u make the best of it and enjoy yourself. I in general, was satisfied with the service and the food in the main dining room at dinner and lunch time. The buffet was a hit and miss due to inconsistency in quality, temperature, selection of food items as Well ...
I usually cruise by myself or with one of my best friends. For this cruise we had a group of six.
Boarding was easy and quick. We had a blast on Allure, we had new cruisers and experienced cruisers in our group. We found all that we wanted to do on the cruise. So many activities (and beverages) to keep us entertained. I was in an ocean balcony, the room was the high level of clean that ...
Group of 6 adults and 2 teens: 6 of us had never cruised before. Happy to report we had an amazing experience and were very impressed with pretty much everything! The ship was gorgeous-sparkling clean, beautifully designed-it's huge. We never felt crowded or cramped. The boarding process was well organized and efficient, as was disembarking. We had an ocean balcony room with an adjoining room for ...
I'll try to go in order:
*Embarkation was chaotic and confusing. We got put in the wrong line and had to switch after waiting through it. Had to show different papers to different people at different "checkpoints" and it wasn't clear what the logic was behind each of the requirements at each place. There wasn't much information about what to do when you first got on board (for example, I didn't ...
Had several cruises and vacations canceled in the last 2 years, so excited to finally get on a cruise.
Most of this post was my comments shared with cruise line on their after cruise questionnaire. Not sure if they read, but after taking the time to comment, thought I would share.
Went with husband and 2 kids, after canceling a Celebrity Cruise that was during this same time a few months ...
