Diamond Plus cruiser with RCCL, but have sailed other cruise lines. Just let me say the pre-cruise terminal experience was different and not very well organized. One person telling you to go here and there with no signage. Thank goodness I knew how the process was suppose to work. For a new cruiser, it would be daunting.
Your sea pass card awaits you in your room. I booked a balcony on ...
The check in process was absolutely terrible. My husband and I were already frustrated after being stuck in traffic for over two hours, and then got to the chaos of this horrible port. So unorganized! We got through security and were told to "have a seat" with about 100 other people. There were about 5 staff members with iPads checking people in and taking pictures. There was no organization ...
After all the hype about this ship I couldn't wait to get on it. I watched videos of it all the time. I don't know if a longer cruise would have given me a better impression or not. I feel like I was gypped. Too many people trying to do the same thing in a short time so you missed a lot. I took my 16 year old grand daughter on this cruise. They didn't get my reservation for North Star & had no ...
The ship is beautiful, decor top notch, comfortable beds.
Service in dining rooms needs improvement.
Bar service, terrible due to the fact that Royal does not have enough bartenders at any bar on the entire ship. For instance 1 bartender at Solarium bar on Saturday close to noon, the bartender could not possibly keep up, when I asked him to contact someone to get help, he responded that ...
After sailing on Quantum of the Seas in 2014, I wanted to try Anthem. I was anticipating this ship and all of its beauty. The ship itself was beautiful and very clean! After a few weeks of bad seas and bad press for Norovirus, I wasn't sure what to expect but the ship was indeed very clean. I noticed that it seemed to rock quite a bit, but it could have been because we were going very slowly, ...
My husband and I felt this trip was like a prototype, having many wrinkles that needed tweaking before the working model evolves. The passengers were guinea pigs,needed to find out which, if any, innovations were feasible.
Check in at Southampton was rather chaotic, as everyone seemed to arrive at the same time. Those of us who had checked in on line were sent to a different area, and waited for ...
My wife and I recently sailed on this beautiful new ship for a three night "sampler cruise to nowhere". Arrival and parking was a breeze. Inside the terminal it was a little crazy, agents standing all over with tablets. There were a few traditional stands also. It went ok but we were there very early, 10:30. I imagine with lots of people it would be chaos.
We were able to get into our cabin ...
I sailed with my family aboard the Quantum of the Seas, sampler cruise, for 2 nights. Since the ship was not stopping at any ports, the whole reason was to "sample" the ship. Unfortunately my family and I could not do much sampling.
However, I will start with the "pros".
I was upgraded to a balcony room, which was nice. Did not get to really use the balcony as it was a frigid 32 degrees and ...
Not sure where to start! our 12th cruise with RCI and worst yet! Our card didn't work in few bars which led to double chargers for drinks! Never worked in Bionic bar!!! didn't get on north star cause they gave tickets away without informing! Have been told first day its stand by! Wait time for drink at schooner bar 20min. Chops grill dinner super long withSuper dirty windows not romantic!
They ...
We went on the the 3 day cruise to nowhere to experience the Quantum of the seas. We go on a cruise about every year to year and a half (usually with 6 kids) but this time was just the 2 of us to get a quick getaway. I was very excited to experience this new ship. There were many things that I liked about the new ship such as the entire upper deck, Pools, (Indoor and out,) the skydiving, ...
