Despite prices rising the last few years across all of RC’s ships, the cost cutting continues.
Once a day stateroom service is a joke. RC should be embarrassed by this. When I was at guest services for a different matter, they grasped at straws to come up with explanations, or as I called them, excuses, as to why this was the case. My favourite was, “well all inclusive resorts only offer once a ...
A family of 14 travelled to Fort Lauderdale for an incredible gift from my mom on this adventure. I haven't been cruising for about 10 years (raising my kids) and I really loved my return to open water!
Good things:
1. The ship was well maintained and flowed nicely. Our cabin and room attendant was 5star plus.
2. The windjammer was better than I remembered.
3. The ports of call ...
Me and my family a group of 6 decided to take this cruise for the second time as 6 years ago we had an amazing time. Well, this time around it’s incredible how in a 6 year turn around, this has been terrible. The food was terrible. The lobster was horrible as it wasn’t well cooked. The steak was more fat then steak. The spaghetti was hard and this was only the restaurant for dinner time. For ...
Me and my family loved the ship itself. So much for both the kids and the adults to do! But, the food didn’t taste that great. I’ve cruised with carnival many times before and the food has never tasted this bad. Step up your game carnival we know what you’re capable of!!! If you want your next time cruisers to have a 10/10 experience, I’d suggest upping up the food game and making sure the ...
For the amount of money we paid for this cruise. It was not worth it.
1. Our balcony room couch/bed was like a hard block. We had to double up on comforters for the kids to sleep better.
2. the stateroom attendant was never around. We had to constantly call for towels, toilet paper, tissues.
3. the Windjammer food was the same for breakfast every day and even during lunch and dinner ...
I have 12 Royal cruises under my belt before this and number 13 was NOT the lucky one. I cruised with my wife and my 17 year old son. This was the first RC cruise I went on where I did not have that, "I want to come back" feeling.
The GOOD
1. Our waiter in the main dining room was spectacular. She was the shinning star of the cruise.
2. The casino was less smokey compared to other ...
Having had a wonderful experience on Iona 18 months ago we wanted to check out Arvia going to the Caribbean. The experience started badly when we found out we were flying with Maleth Aero - an airline I have never heard of and if I had known this was the airline, it would have certainly put me off booking. The eight hour flight had no in flight entertainment or any duty free service. The ...
What can you really say about a stateroom where the bedding had obviously not been changed from the previous guests. We didn't realize it the day of embarkmentas the sign in our room said, "not ready yet, will be back at 1pm" though the bed had already been made. We dropped our bags and headed out to the pool (where you will absolutely never find a lounger unless you are a very early riser) When ...
First time sailing with Celebrity and my last. Sailed multiple other lines in the states and Europe. Beautiful ship, decent staff, poor customer relations. No shower facilities for the fitness center unless you book something in the spa. Not a big drinker but incorrect charges multiple times. Bars did not appear to have enough staff to handle customer orders. Automatic additional ...
This was may 55th cruise but first time as Elite on Celebrity, We booked a C1 although I had no use for the concierge we booked late. The ship is huge and has many neat areas such as the garden, Eden, and the atrium. There is a lot of whimsical art. I had trouble navigating the layout and found signage to be inadequate. The buffet was almost always crowded although the selections were very good. ...
