Having done 30+ cruises, you would think I would know the score, but ....
Arrived at port, all as usual, used the suggested parking method, which worked well for us. Fairly quick embarkation, pleasant staff. We embarked the ship and went to our respective rooms, we had booked two cabins for a family of four, girls are 16 and 17, asno amount of showers is ever enough. RC had decided to put the ...
My family and I had never cruised before and hadn't known anyone who had been on a cruise so we booked this holiday completely blind. We chose Royal Caribbean because we were told by a travel agent that they were one of the best for families. Because of our lack of experience in cruising we relied heavily on the internet forums and review sites. After reading through the reviews I don't deny I ...
This was our first time with RCI. We travelled in a group of 10 and had booked early 6pm dining.
When we got on at Southampton and cruise ship departed. It was 5-45 and still no bags delivered to cabin. I asked staff and was told it didn't matter if I went to dinner casual as it was first night. I was in clothes I had been in all day and I minded! Went into bathroom and there was NO toiletries ...
Where do I start.
The boarding process was ok and the first thing we did was upgrade the drinks packages from select package. We went up to Windjammer (Canteen) and was walking around a few times looking for a table we finally got a table and went up to get food and it was plastic plates no trays either, but plastic plates it was like being back at school.
The cabin was ready around 1330 and ...
Chose this week long cruise for the sunny destinations: Vigo, Gijon and Balbao with a stop at Le Havre on way back to Southampton next morning. The date of departure tied in with a return same day to Southampton from a different cruise with P and O..
Unfortunately for us this cruise was a family end-of-school-holiday cruise. Approximately one thousand children although one certainly did not ...
An average cruise! Not great, not bad. Been on approx 8 cruises now and this was the only one that fitted the exact dates. The embarkation was excellent...best ever I think. The cabin was fine; you only really sleep there so we sent for a cheap option. The ship has plenty to offer for kids (although I went alone with the wife this time).
The food was reasonable albeit rather limited. No real ...
We had a wonderful holiday aboard the Navigator of the Seas, although the ship was full and there were 1200 children!
We did not dine in any of the restaurants were a cover charge is applied but we did attend an Indian taster meal at Sabor. The food was amazing and we got much more that we anticipated - 4 full courses! The service matched the food and I would highly recommend it if you have ...
Having cruised with a number of lines including Fred Olsen and P&O over period of 20 years, we had a fair idea of what we ought to expect when choosing Royal Caribbean. We chose the Navigator of the Seas Mediterranean cruise on 7 August for the itinerary and because, travelling in the school holidays is a must, as we care for grandchildren during term time.
For the first time we opted to pay a ...
We chose this cruise as it was part of our daughter's 21st birthday celebrations. Plus the fact that we sailed on the Explorer last year so expected the same standard and service we've come to expect on our last 6 cruises with Royal Caribbean. However, this was not the case, a very disappointing ship. Sadly I felt dismayed that we had spent more money on an August cruise for less space in our ...
Just returned from our first cruise, a14 night Mediterranean cruise on Navigator. We travelled with my son who is 13 and a full time wheelchair user and stayed in cabin 1814, accessible panoramic stateroom on deck 12. We chose a cruise as we wanted it to be easy and stress free with our son and avoid flying with equipment we need to take.
Lovely room, however this is not suitable for 4 people, ...
