Great cruise director, but no covid policy enforcement
"Had to rent a car to get home due to the positive test and us not wanting to expose the airport or plane.I was only able to use our balcony for about an hour due to the smokers next door...."Read More

Love that RC is now on the west coast, so much closer to home. Booked as a mother daughter trip for her graduation. Upgraded as a surprise to a JS, even though not many perks apply to this level ship. Was not able to check in priority with the suites, was sent to main line, so one perk not honored. Check in guy said well this is close enough.Well that was a perk but ok. Once onboard you can tell ...

This was the first RCL cruise for us, we have been on 30 cruises. My wife’s brother had booked and we wanted to go with them. The cruise was a 7 day out of Los Angeles, not sure why CC has it as a 3 day Bahama cruise,? Getting on board was very easy, a little congestion at baggage check in, but on board in 30 minutes. The rooms were good and we like the couch which is not standard on Princess, ...

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this cruise!!! Customer service was fantastic! Food was delicious, EXCEPT in the Main Dining room Chef's Table, Chops, Jamie’s, and Izumi were amazing! Our ports of shore were on point as well Cabo San Lucas - Pedi cab to lunch at Club Cascadas de Baja, then swam in the ocean. Mazatlán - Ship Private Beach and Resort excursion to ...

I booked this cruise last minute as the price was right. I was excited to learn once we got onboard that there were only 1100 guests onboard. The ship constantly felt empty. Even at normally busy times. There was never a wait for elevators and it was always easy to find a seat in any venue. I felt a little bad for the crew that this sailing was so empty. This ship itself looked fantastic. ...

We heard that cruise lines were limiting capacity in light of COVID and the recent return of the cruise industry. Not wanting to fly and looking for a family vacation for our small family of 3 from Orange County, CA, we decided to book this Mexican Riveria cruise leaving from nearby Long Beach, California. In October, we received an email stating that the stateroom we reserved was not available ...

This was our second RCI cruise, first one was on Freedom. Ships almost identical except for size. Embarkation was very slow and line identification poor. Finally on board and walked through Windjammer three times looking for available table before going to Cafe Promenade. Balcony cabin was spotless and very comfortable. Room steward (Ivan) was very attentive and helpful. Had MTD and ...

Just started cruising again after 22 years. The ships are a lot larger and definitely more luxurious then I remember. This isn't the largest ship but you can get lost at first. Embarkation was a little annoying at fist with the port at Port Everglades. The signage was poor as pier listings only went to pier number 26, the entrance gate guard said we were at number 29, duh, no signs to direct you. ...

We picked this cruise just to get away for a break. This was our 5th cruise, 3 of which were in the last 17 months. (Did we say retirement!) 4 out of 5 cruises were on RC ships. We parked at Park 'N Go about a mile from the port. We had excellent service being dropped off and picked up. Upon arrival at the port we had a smooth embarkation with approximately 30 minutes time lapse from the ...

Chose this as the 1st royal trip, previously cruising on carnival. Overall ship and amenities were very nice. Hallway outside cabin down to elevators smelled very musty and damp. Found out there had been a water leak and carpet was needing replacement. No Ac in elevators. AC in main dining and show area was very inefficient. Seemed to cycle on for very short periods of time and then be off ...
