"Our cabin steward and main dining room waiters were constantly using our names and it just makes you feel like home, which was lacking on the other cruise line.Thank goodness RCL still has live musicians who played for the main production shows – one with a rock feel, the other Broadway-with talented singers and some interesting set pieces for a smaller stage...."Read More

1-10 of 1,651 Royal Caribbean Serenade of the Seas Cruise Reviews
We cruised on Serenade of the Seas out of Tampa, Florida, on a one week cruise where there were four destinations, all in the Bahamas: Grand Bahama Island, Coco Cay, Bimini and Nassau. The ship was fully booked as the cruise occurred during spreak break, so there were many families with children. We cruised with our son, daughter in law and three year old grandson. Our cabins were adjacent, ...
I chose this cruise because it was leaving from Tampa and because of itinerary.
Serenade of the Seas needs to be dry docked and refurbished! The staterooms are OLD and worn out.
No shampoo or bars of soap for shower. Only liquid soap dispenser marked Shampoo AND Body Wash
No Wifi except for the Royal Caribbean app and even that was inconsistent.
Internet was available for $24.99 a ...
We would recommend you not book Room 8600 on the RC Serenade. Balcony is 1/2 normal size. Room is on a curve. Guest pays normal price but gets a balcony that is not usable for two adults.
*Food- A+ We found the meals to be excellent especially the chef recomended each night.
*Service- A+ Our dining staff were great. We did not have any problems with them. Buffet was great for lunch. ...
I chose this cruise because it was a unique itinerary going to Bimini and Grand Bahama and I love the Radiance Class and haven't sailed yet on Serenade. The crew were all very friendly and the ship had a new feel to it, very clean. Windjammer was better than expected, selection vast and prepared with tasty flavor. Dining room food and service were perfect, everything was served promptly and ...
Great parking through 241 by Global Airport Parking right across the street from the cruise terminal. Short wait outside terminal, once inside we walked right on the ship within 10 minutes. The ship is well maintained throughout. The crew were phenomenal, motivated, friendly, helpful. I was very impressed with the food in all dining areas. Food seemed extra good for example the bran muffins were ...
Our honeymoon cruise was chosen, most of all, for the fine reputation of RCCL. We were surprised to find that too many experiences were annoying, disappointing and most of all, could have been corrected in real time but were not corrected at all. While we believe that cruising is a viable type of cost-controlled vavationing, we cannot see ourselves returning to RCCL given the many fine choices ...
My sister and her hubby had chosen this cruise over a year ago and we thought it would be fun to join them for the 10 days. Our mom had passed in November and this was a way of celebrating her life. She loved cruising and margaritas so we signed up for the trip. We left our east coast Florida home on the 17th and spent the night in Ybor city about 3 miles from the cruise terminal. We chose ...
we chose this cruise due to its price and the itinerary. the countries were beautiful and the excursions were very fun, however almost everything on the boat is an upcharge of a ridiculous amount. alcoholic drinks were near 20$, the internet was slow and just about 100$ for a week for only one device, t shirts are near 30$, 24 water bottles were 36$. ended up almost spent another 1000$ just for ...
This cruise was chosen by my parents, a family holiday over Christmas, which SHOULD and COULD have suited all generations. Whilst we knew the age of the ship was older (it’s certainly over due a refurb) and therefore it doesn’t offer the bells and whistles of the newer/ bigger ships in RCs fleet, there is frankly no excuse for the way in which this ship has been maintained. Whilst I would say it ...
I chose this cruise as we were on a family holiday in Florida and wanted to add on a Christmas sailing for all three generations.Us young at heart 70 year olds, daughter and son in law and their 2 children ,2yrs and 5 years.
First of all there were noticeable signs of wear and tear, but none of that duly bothered me as I know a refurb is due.
The cabins seem smaller than usual, and although ...
