Dining at sunset on formal night. We dressed but many folks did not. We wished we didn't also (less clothes to pack!)

BACKGROUND: My Husband and I are avid travelers and have experienced practically every mode of transportation over the many years of adventures we’ve taken across the globe. But cruising for us have become an inherent part of our lives and it really works for us. We like the selection of itineraries and also the accommodation options. And, after nearly 50 cruises between the two of us, we’ve ...

This was my fifteenth cruise overall, my second cruise with Royal Caribbean. The ship was beautiful and appeared to be well kept. High points were many of the staff, particularly the bartending staff in the Champagne Lounge. The dining week started off in the Main Dining Room. The first couple of nights the food was OK, but nothing exciting. Menu options were limited and as the week ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

There were six of us together on this cruise, myself (50 something), my girls, 21, 17, 16 and two of my friends who came along for support (and the cruise of course). We were in two inside, adjoining rooms (1605 & 1607). Two of us were in one room and four in the other. We were also part of a large group on this cruise. From what we could tell, there were at least four large groups on this ...

First of all, we believe that even an imperfect cruise is a great vacation. Having said that, we were disappointed in several things on the Indy. Before that, let me say that the best thing about this cruise was the staff. At all levels and and all times every member of the crew with whom we had contact was wonderful. They all clearly wanted to make sure our experience on the Indy was a ...

We actually took a seven day back to back cruise for a total of 14 days. We did this in March 2014 and October 2015 because we enjoyed it so much. Eastern and Western Caribbean. We booked a mini suite on the hump, deck nine. Our cabin attendant and cabin were excellent. Entertainment and food were excellent. Ports were great. We just wish RCCL would shake their itinararies up a bit. We have ...

I realize travelers come from various countries and the tv gives them some stuff in their own language but I got a better choice of channels for free on my JetyBlue Flight. CNN and HLN did not provide consistent news- they gave weather in Celsius for cities we were not at or weren't going and no temperatures from east or west coast US. They also gave currency exchange rates to interrupt any form ...

M y wife and I mostly cruise on Princess but we thought to try Royal Caribbean. This was our third cruise with R.C. The "plusses" were the ice show, good cabin attendant (Wendy), clean ship, quiet and comfortable cabin with a good bed, helpful people at the service desk, good waitress in the main dining room in the evening (Staci), and ONE good show. The negatives were: much too much "nickle ...

We are a family group of 8, ranging in age from 44-88. For our 2015 cruise, we chose the Indpenedence of the Seas October 11th sailing (eastern itinerary), mostly because we enjoyed sister-ship Freedom and St Kitts would be a new port for us. Embarkation: We arrived at the port around 11:00am, traffic was well directed and porters are readily available at the curb to help with your luggage. ...

This was an excellent experience, 6 of us went together had 3 balconys side by side, left balconies open so we could walk between our rooms at will (except when curtain closed) couldn't have work out any better. Food was excellent in main dining room as well as windjammer, didn't visit speciality restarants. Rooms were clean and lots of room. Entertainment was excellent. Purchased the premium ...
