This was our first cruise. We chose Royal Caribbean Symphony of the seas because we heard that it was at the top of the list for family oriented vacations and it definitely exceeded all expectations in my opinion. The beauty of the ship itself is enough to leave you standing in awe, but when we were welcomed by every...I mean every staff member with the warmest welcome and hospitality that is ...
I did the Chef Ben package "At your Bloody Service. " It was an add on to the Sunsets and Soirees that departed on March 23rd 2022. From the moment I stepped on the ship, I felt so much happiness. The ship was magnificent. My fiance and I had so much fun. We loved our SeaTerrace. The Staff was outstanding. We enjoyed exploring the ship and all it had to offer. The excursions were great ...
We chose this cruise for our senior spring break because 1. it seemed new and exciting 2. we wanted an adults only cruise and 3. we didn't want to worry about planning meals and activities. Choosing Virgin Voyages was a great decision and we have absolutely no regrets! The boat is amazing and has plenty of lounging space, we especially loved Richard's Rooftop and the circle pool. The Dock was also ...

The cruise ...
I don't understand some of the extremely negative reviews of the Encore. Things CAN go wrong, I understand that, but the reasoning on some of them seem completely unrealistic in their expectations; Bathrooms were too small, really? You had to pay extra for certain things? Yes! Not everything is free and its stated on the website. Luggage gets lost, it happens, but they did find it, again, ...
I can't even begin to express how amazing this trip was. We had been delayed since March 15th 2020, We were nervous about sailing again with a pandemic in the back ground. On board the ship I met The general manager Mario markovic, He was telling me about all the safety procedures that they have in place. He told me that the officers are not even allowed to eat together, For the safety and the ...
Just returned today from our Anthem cruise! We were four adults 50 + years old.
We drove to the port, parked in the garage. Rate have increased since Covid to $125 for the week.
We had an arrival time of 1 pm. When you get in line - clarify if you are in the 1 pm line, or perhaps a later one. We got in the wrong line, but luckily figured it out and moved into a shorter line. Getting on ...
We loved our cruise on Odyssey of the Seas. Great bar service, great(if corny) entertainment, lots of great food, great rooms, so-so windjammer.

Showers in the cabin, just a bit larger and better doors than on freedom class we've been on
Specialty rest., chops and wonderland were awesome
Campfire cookie in Playmakers, OMG
Music Hall and 270, great places to see ...
