I will keep this short to highlight the positive because frankly there were very few issues of concern to talk about. The Getaway is an older ship that really did not show her age and you really had to look hard to find signs of wear anywhere. The ship is very well maintained and clean in all areas. Food quality, choices and presentation to include excellant service was the best we have ever had ...
The Grandeur of the Seas is by far the worse ship I’ve ever been on by FAR. It was rumored that this ship was going to be retired a few years ago and it should have. I am not sure what sparked the decision to keep it floating and running trips—especially a 7 day cruise, but that was by far the worse decision you could’ve made from a customer perspective.
The entire ship is old and raggedy, ...
This cruise ship was horrible and the employees were worse. There were a few nice employees, but overall they were miserable. Twice my family heard employees say “ I hate my life!” We were then subjected a terrible storm that the Captain knowingly sailed us into. The ship flooded, bars collapsed, our room was in shambles with glass broken everywhere and it took staff OVER TWELVE HOURS to come ...
Love this ship. We had a few different people that works on it make it so great. One of them that was AMAZING is Putu in the Casino he's a bartender. He is such a great man. And a very hard worker. He did am excellent job. And I'm sure hoping he will be there when I go back in Sept-Oct. He made our Cruise the best. Thank you carnival and thank you Putu. Also the cruise director was so fun! He made ...
Royal Caribbean stateroom and dining options were a disappointment. We had a balcony room, the balcony was full of sandblasting dust on the chairs and table. The interior sofa was heavily soiled with stains and the carpet was dirty with red juice or wine stains. The wood cabinetry was grimy and sticky. RC should spend more time updating the interior of staterooms instead of building bigger boats. ...
It has been 10+ years since I been to CoCo Cay as a teenager with the family, It is Amazing what Royal Caribbean has done to the island.
As for the ship itself, pretty nice one to catch out of Tampa, it has a little something for everyone for the most part.
Pros
+ Chops Grill was great, best steak I have had in a long time.
+ The pizza from the Windjammer was pretty good for buffet ...
I felt publicly embarrassed on our Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas cruise out of Galveston. Our first dinner started off with the waiter saying the “chicken was finger licking good.” When we left the dinning room, we were greeted with passengers licking their finger. So on and so on daily. I complained to the Restaurant Manager about this but to no avail. The last day of the cruise they sat ...
We chose this cruise because it was a port close to our home and we didn't have to fly. It was a sweet 16 cruise for my daughter and she brought her cousins along so they were happy just to be going and hanging out.
PROS
- unlimited pizza and icecream for kids
- friendly staff
- felt safe letting the kids hangout without adults the entire time "ages 9-16"
-free charm bracelet ...
I have never written a review about anything. But I chose this cruise because I read a lot of reviews and felt like I needed to mention things that I had not seen on previous reviews
The food and meal staff were amazing
Now, for the negative, pretty much everything else. This ship is extremely outdated, had very strong odors, which smelt like sewer. You have a total of two outlets in your ...
We are Jimmy Buffet fans and live in Florida. My husband decided to gift himself the short cruise for his birthday. We are seasoned cruisers of Celebrity so we lowered our expectations based on other reviews. When you book this cruise it’s a good idea to choose some sort of boarding upgrade. We chose the basic Faster Chill. This gave us priority check-in and boarding. We suggest checking your bags ...
