Royal Caribbean Cruise Reviews for Senior from Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

I am currently on the Jewel of the Seas on the TA cruise from Fort Lauderdale to Southampton. We flew to Miami on the 4th April with American Airlines. This was the first time flying with them and I was very impressed with the whole experience. There was more leg room than with other airlines we had used in the past and the boarding process was much more organised. The airline crew were very ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary -- Coco Cay, Tortola & St. Croix. We had never been to those Virgin Islands and we love the Halloween cruises. The cruise director, the activities director and all of the activities staff kept this ship alive and full of fun. The Canadian Captain was very experienced and had a wonderful sense of humor. All the staff were friendly and upbeat. The ...

I don’t even know where to start. But first off I will say a small majority of the staff was very welcoming. I chose this cruise because it was the only one around my birthday. Upon arrival my room wasn’t ready. House keeper was in the midst of cleaning my room. Coming into the room there was stains in the carpet as well as on the couch. We found mold in our shower. Also the balcony wasn’t that ...

I was sent an email from RC after my cruise on Voyager of the Seas. One of the first sentences said we hope your vacation was unforgettable. That was guaranteed for me. Our party had 10 suites combined between us. At the suite check in my uncle and aunt were turned away because my uncle's passport was expired. He got a copy of his birth certificate, but it was from the hospital and not the ...

We sailed as a family of five on Adventure, all adults. Even though we had a good trip the ports and ship would not be my first choice again. Boarding was a shambles, but not Royal’s fault. They had a Coast Guard inspection that morning, and there is no controlling how long the Coast Guard takes. Once we were released to board, even though it was hectic with so many people, it went ...

Very nice cruise .The evening dining was extremely well done . Our service providers were Victor and Prosper and they were Excellent .The food was well prepared and delicious. Having the choice of sit down breakfast and lunch or the buffet was awesome. Our cabin was larger then I anticipated .I really took advantage of having a balcony. I enjoyed sitting out there on the warm evenings and warm ...

Check in smooth. Room ready at 2ish. Every single day charges applied to card for mandatory gratuities. Watch out as 18% added to drinks purchased automatically. Ship is very tired in places and needs refitted. Rusty balconies. Filthy glass on balcony. And outside areas Staff are fabulous. And doing their best with a ship that’s had it. Food in windjammer is mass produced rubbish. ...

After working hard, and waiting for long months, to be able to celebrate my mother's 84th birthday, here I leave you a record of the terrible nightmare experienced during our journey. Let's start with the unkindness of some people who work in the aging port of Everglades in Fort Laudardale. Starting with the people who receive the suitcases. The first thing they do, and they tell you it to ...

Ship was outdated. Office/administrative staff was extremely rude and unhelpful. (Service staff was amazing). Everything was overpriced. Restaurant food was disgusting. We were both overcharged for drinks and purchases and the cruise line would not correct. Boat was over crowded. No room at pool or other facilities so we had to spend a lot of time in our tiny cabin. Walls extremely thin and ...

The Adventure of the Seas is an old ship that is in need of a lot of care and maintenance. The appearance of the ship is rusty, with outside tables and chairs that are showing their many years of usage. The cabins are small, carpets haven't been cleaned is some time and balcony rusty, stained/dirty decking. Food in main dining room and buffet was tasteless, bland and repetitive, day after day. ...
