First i want to say this was my 2nd cruise and my brother's 1st, carnival was much better. This cruise lacked things to do. I requested 2 weeks in advance to have it noted that my BROTHER and I were cruising and to have the best already separated. They didn't. Out bathroom reaked of urine the whole time even after we sanitized it when we first arrived. The hallways were so narrow. I had an acct ...
This is my third sailing on Royal Caribbean and I would have to say the food quality has dropped off considerably. First time with a 3-day cruise, entertainment was good - the main theater show "Showgirls" was very good, the entertainment team was mixed. Jessica and Monica were very good. Playmakers staff was excellent, the bar tenders made some specialty drinks that were excellent. There buffalo ...
My wife and I were on an Oceania Insignia Mediterranean cruise years ago. The food and overall experience was amazing!!! We have done Regent and RC cruises, but have been mainly using Holland America for cruises (love the Pinnacle class ships!)
We wanted to do another Oceania cruise... mainly for the food. We were on The Regatta for the September 27 through October 4 cruise "California ...
We are repeat customers of Oceania (fifth time for my wife, third for me) but first time on Regatta and first cruise post-pandemic. Compared to previous Oceania cruises, we found the food and service generally mediocre. Terrace Cafe items mostly bland (including two days of the most flavorless Mexican we've ever eaten) and at least once, the Grand Dining Room menu included many of the same items ...
Cruised on multiple cruise lines, been on 3 Royal Caribbean cruises including cruise on Oasis of the Seas.
I must give five stars for the fantastic activities they offer, such as laser tag, ice skating, water slides, and boogie boarding. The staff overseeing these activities were truly amazing, and the pool deck lifeguards and water slide attendants were friendly and attentive.
Our balcony ...
I'm not one to write reviews that skew negative, but because I had just stepped off a Carnival cruise the same day that I boarded Navigator, the difference in service and entertainment was striking. I've sailed with RC before and was expecting a similar experience and product, but the Navigator definitely seems like a weak link in RC's fleet.
I chose this cruise because it lined up well with ...
I chose this voyage because I wanted to go through the Panama Canal, and also sail on the Queen Elizabeth for the first time. I am a solo traveler. I had already sailed on the Queen Victoria once, and the Queen Mary 2 three times. I have been fascinated by ocean liners since I was ten years old, and this is why I am drawn to Cunard ships. Cunard has always taken pride in carrying on the ...
We chose a Mexican Riviera cruise for a family event (10 people). Overall, it was pleasant but there were some bumps.
We had a Club Class Mini-Suite. The bed was very comfy and the room had plenty of storage. Everything is a bit dated, but it was spotlessly clean. Our room attendant was fantastic.
Reserve Collection dining was very nice on embarkation day (we had lunch there right after ...
3 1/2 stars: This is a very very very long review. You might be reading this in a panic thinking, what did I do...I booked the Emerald and everyone is leaving horrific reviews. So I thought I'd write a review that might help people make the most of their vacation if they are already locked in at the 90 day mark. OK. It's not THAT bad. I had a great time knowing some things ahead of time. I ...
Sailed the 7 day Mexican Riviera itinerary on Navigator of the Seas. It was our first time cruising with Royal but our sixth cruise thus far. We have sailed primarily with Disney and once with Princess and Carnival.
The good: service was pretty good. I had traditional early dining and we loved our head and assistant server. They were polite, and on it. Fulfilled our requests and understood ...
