We chose this holiday cruise to celebrate Christmas and my birthday. The ship was beautiful and big..It was decorated with the festive flair. Embarkation was seamless. The main restaurant in the top deck was too congested with people. Finally after finding a seat to enjoy our breakfast we hear a loud speaker message stating not to linger because other people had to eat.Not nice. The specialty ...
Had credit to use. Food was mediocre. Nickel and dime for everything. Did not enjoy my experience, however, the entertainment was very good, especially Mama Mia. Ship is very well laid out and staff excellent. I did not like that you had to make reservations for everything instead of first come first served. Balcony cabins are extremely small with limited amenities. Specially restaurants ...
We chose this ship because we wanted to experience ship this big. But mainly it has been dissapointment. Stateroom was Ok, we had an oceanview balcony.
We ate our breakfast and lunch mainly in Windjammer, and the service was not good, tables were not cleaned very fast. There was enough people doing that but to me it seemed that they did not know what they were supposed to do. Dinner we ate at ...
The last day of the cruise we received 3 phone calls to our room and a staff member woke us up at 7am. We paid To rest not to be bodered because we didnt have to leave the room until 9am.
Also, there is no information regarding pictures that the photographs take you. I called to buy the pictures 3 days later and we can’t get them anymore.
In addition, the rooms are old and not very well ...
We chose this cruise as we have sailed Norwegian twice before and loved it and wanted to try this line as we’d heard great things.
Embarkation and disembarkation - so smooth and hassle free I don’t know how they managed getting so many people on and off without any line whatsoever truly amazing.
When we got on the ship is certainly impressive but the main deck just feels like a mall, with ...
We chose because we are crown and anchor members and were sailing with family and wanted these first timers to experience the great shows and mega ship
As far as embarkation went it was fast and smooth as is with all our Royal Caribbean sailings, but the new terminal in Miami with facial recognition there were six of us and I was the only one that sailed through the new machines, the other five ...
So I’m going to break this down into sections starting from the beginning. We are a family of four with twin 23-month-old toddlers. We also traveled with the grandparents (80’s). We have been on several cruises, but this is the first with Royal.
We booked a suite, so embarkation was a breeze through the suite lounge. The Miami port is beautiful and unloading our luggage was easy! You just ...
I first sailed the allure back in 2015 and had a 5 star trip. This time I say 3 stars but the dynamic was different because we were traveling with a 15 month old and it was our second time on the ship so the newness of the magnificentance of the ship had worn off a bit. My biggest complaint this time around was it seemed liked the times of activities were really limited. Since we have done a lot ...
I will break this review down by my personal pros and cons.
We have previously sailed twice on Carnival, and wanted to see how the two lines compare. The lines are more similar than not. To us, the demographics on board are similar.
We chose this ship because we wanted to see and experience this ship for ourselves.
Embarkation and disembarkation were OK, other than the line for going ...
Embarkation was so much better at Terminal A than in other terminals. We were handled very quickly and our rooms were ready when we boarded at 11:30. We had our luggage within an hour or two.
We had a family reunion for 35 of us. Those that had children enjoyed the vast array of activities and restaurants. Older members enjoyed the shows and restaurants, especially Giovannis Table and ...
