We were a family of nine and we chose this cruise because it fit into everyone's schedule. Next time we will not leave from Ft. Lauderdale. More than half the guests were seniors which meant that there weren't many things for children to do on board. The food was okay. I liked the food better on our first Royal Caribbean cruise. There weren't many dairy free dessert options. The staff, however, ...
We live in Florida and Port Lauderdale in convenient for a quick getaway. We chose Princess because we have always had overall positive experiences on Princess Ships and this cruise was no exception. Because we have cruised the Caribbean on numerous previous occassions we booked this crusie primarily for the on board experience so shore excursions and ports of call did not have much enfluence on ...
The cruise was amazing. Food at Palo (brunch and dinner) were exceptional. Rely (brunch with champagne pairing) was incredible. Kids Club my kid was glued to it and constantly wanted to be there. Pirate Night was fun, and I realized that I could have enjoyed the fireworks from our veranda, but hey, it was fun to be with everyone.
Excursions, we did National Parks at British Virgin Island ...
We chose this cruise line because it touted it's high tech Medallion and Medallion related apps (downloaded) from home, all of which malfunctioned. Ocean Compass and Ocean Now required us to sign in repetitively, and frequently told us we had disembarked, were not onboard... we were seated by the main pool on Deck 15. IT staff onboard could not resolve the issue..we were finally told it was the ...
This was a great cruise in so many ways. We traveled with good friends and all of us had a wonderful time. Service was excellent, staff was friendly, food was good, ship was well maintained, beds were greatly improved since our last sailing on the Caribbean Princess, and itinerary was perfect.
Club Class dining was well worth the extra expense - we had the best service and every meal was ...
BACKGROUND INFO:
This was my 15th cruise. I usually cruise with just my sister or a group of no more than two couples. But this time, I traveled with a family group of 13 people – 7 adults and 5 children ranging from ages 2 to 12. We chose the MSC Seaside for the experience of cruising on a mega ship and because 3 of our party had previous cruised on the Divina and enjoyed it.
We ...
I chose this ship for a family cruise (10 people) because I had been on other Royal Caribbean ships.
The door to the handicapped accessible cabin was automatic if you were able to put your key card over the reader an turn the handle. In order to exit the room I was told to push a mechanism over the door. This was an impossibility while seated on a scooter n
On other Royal. Caribbean ships I ...
This was a family cruise. Three generations. All of us loved it. We had great food, great service, great entertainment in the theater and lounges as well as on deck, terrific beverage choices and a fantastic crew. Couldn’t ask for more.
We booked this cruise with the grandkids in mind. Two girls ages 12 and 13. To our amazement they never went to the pre- teen club that we thought they would ...
My trip with Royal Caribbean was a nightmare. The food was nasty and mediocre. Breakfast and dinner were terrible. Service at the cavin was terrible too. There's no shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom. This will be the last time I waste my money on Royal Caribbean. In the whole week I never see the captain he never show up this is very discourteous. Prices at the ice-cream parlor were ...
Here is the good and bad. Unfortunately more bad than good. As a note I am comparing this to numerous ships at similar price points such as Norweigan and Carnival.
The good:
- Beautiful on the inside. Atrium is amazing. New ship you expect this.
- Employees very friendly
- Nice cabins. We had a balcony
- Jacuzzis many available and nice
- Gym is nice
- Buffet food was ...
