We would rather NOT recommend this ship, especially if it’s your first cruise vacation, you might not want to repeat your experience again with any cruise lines - for the rest of your life.

For the last years, we have been true cruise lovers and this was our third cruise. The first was with Holland America, the second - with the Carnival Spirit and the last was with the Royal Caribbean, the Voyager of the Seas (VOS). The ship is beautifully designed, LARGE (3000+ passengers) and they keep claiming themselves as one of the largest ships in the world.

Unfortunately, the ship’s customer service, organisation and guest managements – compared to the previous two experiences - were really disappointing. Guest service staff seemed to be rather poorly trained to properly manage the large number of passengers. Guess what the staff’s argument always was when people complained about poor service – “too many people” !!

Cabin Review

We loved having our queen-size bed next to the window/balcony and our relatively spacious and nicely designed room, small but cosy balcony; furniture simple but comfortable, many mirrors. Linen was clean in general, but carpet was dusty and not particularly new, not sure if they ever vacuum cleaned it during our cruise, window drapes/curtains were extremely dusty.They claim to be a non-smoking ship with a limited number of designated outdoor smoking areas. But in fact, this policy was not properly enforced. Some people smoked even in their rooms and balconies, in our corridor there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke. The first thing we inhaled - when opening the balcony door or opening our room door or stepping out onto any ship deck - was cigarette smoke: 24 hours a day. If you hope you’d enjoying only the ocean breeze blowing at your face and the sound of waves while relaxing on your private balcony – you’ll be really disappointed!
