This was our first ever cruise & we chose Royal Carribean due to their reputation. Unfortunately the reality did not live up to the expectation.
The boarding at Barcelona was smooth enough and we were walking onto the ship within 45 minutes after our check in time but events soon took a turn for the worse. We were informed our luggage would be delivered to our stateroom but after 2hrs on the ...
WE have been sailing on these ships since 1999 when they were brand new under the Renaissance Banner. This is our 12 cruise on these ships. We booked this trip due to the unusual itinerary which included several of the Med Islands that we had not been to. All of our itinerary expectations were exceeded. The big tourist crunch was over and some of the islands like Crete we had to ourselves. Our ...
Hi,
We enjoyed our cruise very much, at the end of the day after spending 8 hours on
excursions the ship was comfortable and perfect to relax before the next day of tours.
Our Delta flight to Barcelona was perfect we flew on the Airbus A330-300 which I highly recommend. We had two seats next to the window with plenty of room considering we paid no extra for our seats. The plane has two ...
This was our first cruise with Princess, although we have sailed many times with other lines, mainly Celebrity, so it’s hard not to make comparisons.
Princes runs a series of 7 night cruises which can be extended to as much as 28 days. Our cruise was actually 14 days (Barcelona - Athens). First thing is that it’s quite confusing when a large proportion of the guests changes after 7 days, but ...
We've sailed four times with Royal Caribbean, once before with Princess and once with Carnival. This was far and away the most expensive cruise - and almost the most disappointing.
Despite Princess's touting of its MedallionNet app, it's really hit or miss. Preloading all your required documentation does not change how long it takes to clear the regular onboarding process: it's still all ...
My husband and I are in our late 60's and trying to travel as much as we can. I have read many, many reviews and I think some people just expect too much. You make it your own. We NEVER had any cruise employee that was not helpful, friendly, and go out of their way to do anything for you! Every meal we had at any specialty restaurant we exceptional. Even the main dining was very good. The only ...
Been on Allure before and loved the ship! Specifically chose this cruise since over husband’s birthday. Port checkin was a disaster. All computers went down just as processing began with first agent. No one knew what to do. Finally was escorted to the desk agent and she was clueless. Another circulated saying to write down passenger name and cabin number. Then let them board. We walked on while ...
Here is your review:
We are diamond club members and had many cruises with Royal Caribbean. On our seven days cruise on 8/28/22, the built-in numbered lock on our original old timer hard shell 31" Samsonite was broken and wouldn't open. The ship maintenance ( 3 men) tried to open it and broke the lock. They wrote the report to the Senior Guest Officer. The built-in lock can not be replaced, and ...
This was our 38th cruise and our second on Cunard (we were on Queen Victoria before).
Pros
The ports of call on this 14day western Mediterranean voyage were very nice, and we managed to enjoy them all, even though we have been to most of them many times already;
Some of the venues, lobby and a few niches look good and subdued, classic but not too stuffy;
The main dining room ...
We choose this cruise as a treat for my 50th birthday and choose to book for 14 nights,we booked a spacious deluxe inside room on a saver fare,two weeks before we sailed we were told that we had been ‘upgraded’ to an outside smaller footage room,when we looked at the room online not only was it smaller but had a tender boat completely blocking the window,after almost an hour on the phone we were ...
