Galveston to the Caribbean Cruise Reviews

This was my very first cruise. It was a gift from a friend it was a spare of the moment trip. She asked me to go with her on the Friday that we got out for Thanksgiving break. She told me we were leaving that night to go to Galveston and we was going to sail out on the Saturday. She asked me to go on a cruise with her. I had a GREAATTT Time I can not wait to go on another. Next time I would like ...

My husband and I celebrated 20 years of marriage, and I graduated with my Masters degree. We planned to go with another couple. Long story short, we ended up with an interior room instead of a balcony as our friends were in and were very disappointed. Even worse, we paid the same amount, and their room FAR outdid ours. I would never be ok with an interior cabin again. Our cabin was so small my ...

Honestly, I had really low expectations for this cruise after reading reviews on here, but it was close, and our first cruise back after Covid. I can't believe how bad the reviews are of this amazing ship! Yes, a little older, but well maintained in my opinion, and so much to do! Walking deck 8 in the garden was beautiful, and you had many options of places to go and things to do. The service on ...

We went on our second cruise (first was with Carnival Cruises in 2018).Carnival was cheaper and everything included we thought we are paying way more so we will get much better, infact as per their name it would be Royal. Here is what we experienced: 1)Everything we see or want to do is extra money. 2)Activities like surf boarding were free but for our turn of 2 minutes ride we waited 35 ...

There was so much bullying on this ship. Fights drinking and No supervision. Ages between 12-18 . Kids were beat up by groups. When I saw it I stopped it. Carnival make parents responsible for their kids poor behavior. No one wants to deal with little jerks. On a good note in Cozumel Charlie was a great guide . My husband and I went to the private house and brace all inclusive. Charlie made ...

I took my adult son and wanted something easy and fun from Galveston. Considering how many people were on ship, I thought the “getting on/getting off” process was reasonably good. Crew was great! Our cruise director Lawerence was wonderful. We enjoyed all of the shows and did most of them - comedy, Deal or No Deal, Love & Marriage, Bingo, Karioke, and production shows. I think the restaurant Blush ...

Royal Caribbean stateroom and dining options were a disappointment. We had a balcony room, the balcony was full of sandblasting dust on the chairs and table. The interior sofa was heavily soiled with stains and the carpet was dirty with red juice or wine stains. The wood cabinetry was grimy and sticky. RC should spend more time updating the interior of staterooms instead of building bigger boats. ...

I felt publicly embarrassed on our Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas cruise out of Galveston. Our first dinner started off with the waiter saying the “chicken was finger licking good.” When we left the dinning room, we were greeted with passengers licking their finger. So on and so on daily. I complained to the Restaurant Manager about this but to no avail. The last day of the cruise they sat ...

RCCL is focusing all their attention on their new, huge ships, 6,000+ passengers. More money, less crew members, less food, less entertainment, less service. Everything extra cost, most a big cost. Nothing is given as an extra when you book a cruise, no free crew appreciation, no drink packages, no onboard credit but the prices are the same as other cruise lines that give you extras. This ...

Spent two weeks on Allure starting on May 7th and I'm sorry to say there were many disappointments. Quality & Quantity of food has significantly declined and that was across all venues, esp. the Specialty Restaurants where the prices are way to high. Pinnacles not staying in a Grand Suite or above could not have breakfast in Coastal Kitchen and were allowed to have breakfast in Chops, where the ...
