Let me start with this: I love cruising. I've been on 15+ cruises, from the Odyssey of the Seas to the Nordic Prince that was retired ages ago, from RCCL to Princess to Celebrity to Norwegian to Holland America, and more. As cruises go, this was one I won't ever do again. This was supposed to be a "Fall Colors" cruise, but we missed the colors by a couple weeks, I think, as most trees were bare ...
I chose this cruise because I live in an over 55 community and we were trying to go on a short cruise out of Bayonne so that most people could experience a cruise for the first time. We have 30+ people in our group.
I have taken many many cruises in the past and my expectations were not great but I understood that the price was so cheap that I really wanted to go with friends not really care ...
Chose the cruise to experience Celebrity and due to close proximity to the port. The ship is old and in poor condition. There were sewage smells on the lower decks. The food in the dining room was hit or miss. On the last night we had chicken saltimbocca. It was the worst meal that I've ever had on a cruise. The buffet food was generally good, however the selections were lacking. There were ...
My recent cruise caused me to wonder about the direction Celebrity is headed. The Summit is a well maintained vessel with staff that is very friendly. The quality of the food was good.
There were, however, several areas of major concern. One, the dress code has become a total joke. Celebrity promotes itself as a "luxury" line but allows its passengers to dress inappropriately in various ...
My husband & I have been on Royal multiple times. In fact, one of our favorite cruises of all was on the Rhapsody - Greece & the Adriatic. We chose the Canada & New England cruise because of the itinerary. Unfortunately, this cruise ended up being the most disappointing cruise my husband and I have ever taken. We understood that the Adventure of the Seas is an older ship. We expected the ...
This was the only cruise available for the time and itinerary for us.
Getting on board was not so bad, lunch was ready before we could get into our stateroom.
The room was a good size with plenty of storage area. There was a "cooler" for drinks, but we never got ice to go in it.
The shower was black mold and all around the bottom, needed a good scrubbing.
The balcony was the same way, ...
We chose to take this short cruise from our home port in the NY area because the price was good. My wife and I sailed on Royal Caribbean once before on Navigator OTS. We have cruised with primarily with Princess and NCL in the past.
For this short Adventure cruise, we took our 4 year old daughter along. We booked cabin 7500 which is an "Ultra Spacious Ocean View." The cabin layout is unique and ...
We decided to go on this cruise because on son and his family were going. It was a short 5 night cruise out of Bayonne NJ. When we entered the parking lot- it was mobbed- other cruise ships using it- we had to go to a distant outdoor lot. A walk from the terminal. They did have a shuttle bus if you wanted to wait for it. We entered the very mobbed terminal and check-in was smooth and easy. ...
The food was mediocre. It was mostly flavorless. The cabin was small. The Fridge didnt keep anything cold. I am Not even sure if it was even working. The entertainment was amateurish. No name entertainers. The singer was a back up singer for bigger names. The comedian was a has been second rate actor from the 90s. The service was average. We chose "my time" dining but it wasn't. They told us ...
We have cruised a lot, like 24 times, with different lines, but the majority with Disney usually on the Magic. We do long cruises, so nine days was quite short for us.
It didn't start well, as once booked I contacted RCL to see if they had my Crown and Anchor number, as I couldn't find the details. Although it was back in 2000, they had no record of us cruising with them. I sent them a photo ...
