This marked our 50th cruise, many of which have been with Royal Caribbean. We went with a group of 20 people, 12 of whom were country line dancers. We left from Bayonne very excited to be going to the warm Caribbean. Embarkation went pretty smoothly except we had to go looking for our luggage down the hall and found someone else's luggage outside our stateroom. This was a first for us. Our ...
Our friends have been on this ship twice before and suggested that we book it with them. The ship was beautiful. We especially loved the Solarium, the staff was wonderful, but as I mentioned two things need to change:
Casino: It should be completely nonsmoking. There was so much smoking going on, you couldn't breathe. And the crazy part is, that the staff informed us that when this ship is in ...
This is a repeat cruise having done this one 3 times. The cruise director Josh made it special and very entertaining. The shows are still good even after being I will rock you 3 times. The Mo5aic group was excellent. Our cabin steward was very attentive although we were starting to have stuffy noses at nights, from the carpets we guess. The food was the major detractor. this is our 7th cruise and ...
A large group of 18 people cruised to the Carrib5. Ma y of us were experienced cruisers and have done the same crusie in the past. Many cha ges occured. The menu in My time Dining was repeated throughout the trip. In past, you could make substitutions. If it wasn't in the menu, there was no negotiating. The food in the Windjammer was far better.
The entertainers were great and I appreciate ...
About 3 dozen cruises over the last 22 years.
Love the ANTHEM
Excellent larger veranda on deck 9.
Wonderful stateroom steward, samsudin kept the room clean and freshly made up twice each day. Room was prepared within a reasonable time after we left and samsudin always greeted us by name and with a smile.
No review of the itinerary as we have done it so many times.
As far as the ...
This was our 2nd Royal Caribbean cruise. We've also been on NCL, Carnival, Celebrity, and MSC. The experience was ok, but compared to NCL and even Carnival, I wasn't impressed.
The Good:
1. Most of the staff were very good. The MDR staff were especially good. Our waiter, Naresh, was attentive and paid close attention to my wife's gluten free requirement. She didn't get sick at all in ...
The service from our waiter and cabin steward was excellent! The highlight of our cruise. The food was ok, basically same menu as all the other cruises I’ve been on this line. They did have a decent vegan menu. I had never met a rude crew member on any cruise until this one. There was a rude bartender in the windjammer and a rude bar server in the main dining room. The shore excursions were very ...
The opportunity to sail on The newest(at the time) Edge class ship's first itinerary in North America popped up, and it was too hard to pass up. Beyond would be the newest and largest ship I've ever sailed on in the Celebrity fleet(we tend to stick to the smaller Millennium class ships), and I'm very happy to report that I'm glad I booked. There were a few cons that made me hesitant--the size(16 ...
I usually don't cruise during hurricane season, but I found a good deal on this 9 day repositioning cruise from Bayonne NJ to Ft Lauderdale on this new ship. I usually cruise solo, so I don't get any extras; I had a deluxe inside stateroom (9194) with no drink or internet package. Embarkation was quick and I was on the ship in about 20 minutes, the line was long but it moved quickly. The ship ...
It was 11 nights, we usually enjoy time on the Ship and it was a good price. When we got off the plane, it was 27 and snowing. The next morning it was still snowing, it cost $65.00 to go 12 miles to the Ship. For the first 4 days, it was cold on the ship, once down in the Caribean, it was Great! On the return trip, we ran back into the cold, and that was when a Nor-Easter hit New York. The ...
