My husband and I are both in our early fifties and this was our first European cruise. We flew from Chicago to Barcelona with a change in planes in Madrid. Royal Caribbean booked our flights for us and they did a wonderful job. Flights were great. We flew in a day early and spent one night at the Hotel Diagonal in Barcelona. The hotel was beautiful and the room was spacious with a wonderful view. ...
I got so much info from these reviews on CC that made our cruise a great experience and vacation; I thought I should add mine as well to share. My wife and I arrived in Barcelona three days ahead of the sailing to acclimate and explore Barcelona. As per recommendations, I got Euros in advance from my bank at home which made life a lot easier when I arrived. From the airport, we got on the Aerobus ...
My husband and I recently returned from yet another great Royal Caribbean Cruise. We had previously cruised on Adventure of the Seas to the Caribbean on Royal Caribbean and anxiously awaited our first trip together to Europe on Voyager of the Seas. Upon arriving at the port around 11:30 a.m., we were sent to the Suite line, since we were in a Grand Suite-1578. Once we checked in, we began walking ...
Having sailed just two months previous with RCCL on Liberty of the Seas I had to book another one. This time we sailed the Mediterranean instead of the Caribbean. We arrived at the port at 11am and after a hassle-free check in and security check we were on board in no time. My boyfriend and another couple we were travelling with were first time cruisers, they were amazed at the size of the ship on ...
My daughter (age 16) and I (54), a single mom, went on this cruise together. I wanted to introduce her to Europe and thought that this would be a great way to do so. This was my daughter's 7th cruise and my 13th. This was our second RC cruise.
The ship sailed on Sunday, July 11th, so we arived in Barcelona late Friday afternoon. I never like to chance "missing the boat". We stayed in a fantastic ...
Embarkation was smooth and efficient. Tables with wine and soda packages and Portofino reservations were all available at the end of the embarkation hall which made a lot of sense. We had our Portofino reservations and wine package sorted before we even boarded the ship. Interestingly the wine package didn't come in the usual format of Gold, Platinum and Diamond. Instead we were offered only one ...
7/3 - Barcelona - My wife and I arrived in Barcelona around 9:30 AM and took a taxi to our hotel, Hotel Claris on Pau du Claris. Our travel agent had secured this very nice hotel in Barcelona's Eixample neighborhood. As we weren't able to check in until around 1:00 PM, we had the hotel hold our bags and walked to several Gaudi buildings (Sagrada Familia, Casa Mila, and Casa Battlo) as well as ...
This cruise was one of the best experiences of my life. I'm going to be honest about the minor bumps it had, but in no way think I had a bad time or wouldn't do the same trip over.
I booked my 7 night Mediterranean cruise on Voyager of the Seas through a TA. I used an agent because I wanted everything handled and I used this because my parents used them for a cruise they took a few months before ...
Very amazing cruise once again with Royal Caribbean, we cruised on the maiden voyage of Voyager of the Seas and returned once again to the ship once again to cruise the Med!
The crew on the ship are very happy at the moment and moral seems high, the ship is still in good condition.
Dining was good and once again we had a great dining team with Royal Caribbean who attended to us well. ...
We sailed on the Voyager of the Seas June 20-27 from Barcelona to Naples, Rome, Florence, Cannes, Toulon and return to Barcelona. As a point of reference we are experienced cruisers having sailed on RCCL (5x), Princess (5x), NCL (3x), Carnival (1x) and Holland America (1x). The couple that joined us on this voyage have also cruised extensively and are Platinum level passengers on RCCL. In fact ...
