I was reasonably pleased with the cruise. I had a nice time with my wife. We spent a lot of time on deck twelve soaking up the sun. I even walked around the jogging track while my wife made two different visits to the spa. She certainly enjoyed the acupuncture on the Tuesday and the pedicure on the Friday. Two days we spent at sea with no shore visits. However, be prepared to pay for the visits to ...
The entertainment was great as was the service. Enjoyed the rock tribute band Preferred Stock, the ice show and Grease (although wish Grease had been more family friendly). Food was ok in the Windjammer and good (not fabulous) in the main dining room. Was nice to be able to order several entree's and sample new things. I've never felt so much motion onboard a ship before, but RC can't help that. ...
MAJOR (wasted 2 days just fighting for our right)
The food and its service.
a. Chick peas all the time only as an option for vegetarian folks
b. Insensitive statements (which sounded discriminating) were given to us like “I have 3000 Americans to take care of” when asked why do you serve us chickpeas all the time.
c. Out of food all the time (1. were out of strawberries when asked, ...
We planned a Caribbean cruise for our retirement present and weren’t disappointed.
Together with our 14yr old son and 16 yr old daughter we departed for Xmas cruise of the Eastern Caribbean taking in the islands of Labadee, San Juan Puerto Rico, Antigua, St Martin and St Kitts, aboard The Independence of the Seas.
The first night on arrival in Miami was spent in the Turnberry resort, a ...
The food is terrible,the windjammer cafe does not have eggbeaters even though the main dining room does.The windjammer food is tasteless,overcooked,horrible food.The bakery at breakfast is store bought and frozen,the cookies are stale store bought and tastes terrible,same selection daily and most is overcooked and salty.We have to ask for skim milk 10 minutes before breakfast so someone can go ...
Ok, I've been on the Sister ships both the Freedom and Liberty four and six years ago, I always enjoyed these ships and thought the food was great at the time.
I was aware that the Independence is getting a refit in a few months time but we were ok with that as the itinerary was good, five different islands over Xmas.
What we were not prepared for however was the fairly terrible food ...
This was our second Christmas cruise with RCCL with the first one being in 2015 on the Serenade of the Seas. This was just as good, if not better!! We were happy to see Christmas caroling and midnight mass being offered again as well. What also pleasantly surprised us was the amount of people at midnight mass. The group that traveled was my family of 4 and my in laws. We had a total of three ...
Its our 50th wedding anniversary (Dec. 17,2017) so my husband and I decided to treat ourselves for the first time we go for Cruise. We're kind of nervous and do not know what to expect so invited our friends, so now we're total of 8 people.
When we were at the port, I was so amazed with the size of the boat( I guess this is expected from a first time cruiser). Finaly we got inside, went to ...
This was our fifth Christmas cruise, but first on RCL. Loved all of the special Christmas activities and decorations. More focus on Christmas activities than other lines we have sailed.
Ship was overall in great shape. Showed some wear and tear, but nothing terrible and headed to dry dock soon.
Cabin was in a great location. Only three decks up or down to most public areas. Loved the ...
Background information - travelers were myself and my wife (early 30's) and our two boys (ages 3 and 1). It was a fairly last-minute vacation decision to get out of town and escape the cold, and we ended up getting a fairly good price on the trip. This was a) our first cruise with 2 children, and b) our first cruise without additional family/friends travelling with us, and one of the main reasons ...
