Horrible! This was my first cruise ever. After this experience, it is now my mission to tell my friends, family, associates, and just anyone mentioning a cruise to never use this cruise line. The price that they charge vs what you get in return is definitely a grift. I was on the Freedom of the Seas and paid for the stateroom the only thing that was good was the ocean and that is because they do ...
We were in room (Grand Suite) sailing out of Tampa to CocoCay and Nassau. We sailed in a Grand Suite on Freedom of the Seas out of Miami in Feb. this year and found the two experiences to be vastly different. Some info that's not really pro or con but just to keep in mind: The Serenade ship is smaller and therefore feels much more crowded. We could hear the music from the Centrum and pool deck in ...
The staff were great and the nightly performances were good and Coco Cay was nice, when not too crowded. Outside of the main dining room, nearly every meal disappointed. First time cruiser, but under the impression they’re trying to make up lost profits by force feeding you rock hard fruit, waxy cheese, juicy-drink concentrate, and soapy bacon(?) First red flag was a $16 martini with a couple of ...
Fun cruise with very good service. Ship definitely has seen better days, but they really do a job on trying to keep it up.
Cabin experience was good. Oceanview cabin in midship and on starboard side. Cabin received a fair amount of foot traffic though and often found that most everything required walking to aft or forward stairs/elevators. Overall, it was very clean, with a decent views and ...
This cruise has me hungry for more! The staff was wonderful. Igede, Ramazan and Joko were stand outs! The entertainment was riveting! There were ice shows, kareoke, juggling acts, Broadway shows and much more! Honestly, something for everyone. The food was magnificent. The dining experience was truly divine. (Igede made it a much more pleasant dining experience) Ramazan was efficient and ...
Departure port is important for me.
I love this ship, even tho it is a bit too big for my liking.
The review is mainly because of the cabin. Even tho it doesn't sell as an obstructed view cabin, this cabin has at least 50% obstruction. I wouldn't have chosen it if I knew about it.
Everything else is not bad, except of the Main Dining Room food, which it was changed, and you can no longer ...
We chose this cruise because it was a port close to our home and we didn't have to fly. It was a sweet 16 cruise for my daughter and she brought her cousins along so they were happy just to be going and hanging out.
PROS
- unlimited pizza and icecream for kids
- friendly staff
- felt safe letting the kids hangout without adults the entire time "ages 9-16"
-free charm bracelet ...
It has been 10+ years since I been to CoCo Cay as a teenager with the family, It is Amazing what Royal Caribbean has done to the island.
As for the ship itself, pretty nice one to catch out of Tampa, it has a little something for everyone for the most part.
Pros
+ Chops Grill was great, best steak I have had in a long time.
+ The pizza from the Windjammer was pretty good for buffet ...
I have never written a review about anything. But I chose this cruise because I read a lot of reviews and felt like I needed to mention things that I had not seen on previous reviews
The food and meal staff were amazing
Now, for the negative, pretty much everything else. This ship is extremely outdated, had very strong odors, which smelt like sewer. You have a total of two outlets in your ...
We chose this Cruise as a last minute thing for some reasons related to an upcoming Medical procedure. Our only option with a guaranteed inside cabin. The cabin was okay as far as storage goes, the bed was a little too firm, and the switch to the bathroom is on the outside. Therefore every time someone into the bathroom at night it lit up the entire room. This was our third time on Royal ...
