First-Time Cruisers Cruise Reviews

This was our first cruise post-Covid, and honestly we had a really great time! We had read so many negative reviews that we were concerned, but happy to say we would gladly get right back on the Harmony if we could!! We have sailed Royal 6 or 7 times previously, all the way back to when there were still Midnight buffets and Ice sculptures so we have a lot to compare it to. We went into this ...

Me and my wife have been cruising with Royal for over 20 years. In fact we are Diamond members of their Crown and Anchor rewards. I haver always been a fan of Oasis class cruises given that RC provides special treatment to those cruises in terms of shows, entertainment, food, cabin service, etc. However, this time that wasn't the case. In summary, I can say that the Harmony of the Seas looked ...

All and all a good value for your dollar. Good service staff. The issues remain in the nickel and dime and remaining at the mercy of a non-American staff who for the most part are excellent but not that good in the event of issues. Dining room offers decent food that’s included. Much of the food is average to sub-par. Ship filled to maximum capacity and crowded. Port destinations were Puerto ...

It was so fun I met so many people, our waiter in the main dining room Eduardo was great with a wonderful personality. The bars the bars were amazing. Lots of things to do. The party’s were really fun , especially the silent party they played really good songs for all ages. The specialty restaurants were really nice as well . I really enjoyed the hibachi restaurant. The have wonderful deserts , ...

If you have Cruised with Royal Caribbean dont bother wasting your money cruising with MSC. We took a cruise to relax on 4/2 to 4/9 to Western Caribbean. MSC bills itself as a family friendly cruise lines Relaxation we did not get! 1) To get the girls (16yrs old) Non-Alcoholic package with frozen fruity drinks and latte's, bottled water and softserve ice cream. They had to go to the adult ...

Let me preface this. We enjoyed the cruise and had a lot fun. Keep in mind all the prices I quote here are criminally jacked up spring break prices. Sometimes I wish my kids were home schooled just to be able to take off peak vacations sigh. And all of the cruise staff was beyond wonderful and hard working and great and should be paid the lion share of the profits (tho they probably aren't). Keep ...

I normally don’t leave reviews but after reading so many bad reviews of this ship I felt like I needed to add a good one. Overall, this was a great cruise. The ship is very nice, clean, and well-maintained. The staff were very attentive and helpful. I had a great week spending time with friends and relaxing. If you’re not a fussy traveler and you’re looking for a good value, this is the cruise for ...

We booked this cruise about 2 weeks prior to sailing. Cost was the biggest factor in our decision making and MSC had an itinerary that interested us and the price was within our budget of what we wanted to spend. Our family enjoyed our time on the ship and we booked our next cruise with MSC as well. During Embarkation, it did feel like we were standing and waiting for a long time. It did seem ...

This was our first trip on an MSC ship so wanted to try it out. Our recent trip on MSC Maraviglia sailing 7 days 03-19-2023 through 03-26-2023 was the worst cruise we have ever been on. The ship itself was beautiful, however, the service was AWFUL. The buffet kept running out of plates, silverware, coffee cups, and coffee. The drink fountains only had two out of four serving drinks which also kept ...

We chose this cruise because we had a previous great experience on the carnival dream. We were leery of the reputation carnival had with party animals and were hesitant to bring our toddler on as a result, however given our previous experience we chose them anyway on a Mexico sailing. The ship itself is beautiful and once you get a feel of that flow of design it makes a lot of sense and you can ...
