INTRODUCTION: I am 76 years old and my wife is 73. She is still able to use fitness machines and walk considerable distances while I am limited in physical activities and always walk with a cane. That being said, our main enjoyment on a cruise comes from the availability of fine dining, musical and other “passive” entertainment and use of the pool facilities.
We also enjoy touring places that ...
We chose this cruise as we had been on trips last year on both Cunard and NCL and wanted to try something different. Overall, the ship was lovely, but the quality of the food left a lot to be desired.
The Anthem is a great ship if you want to be entertained. There is lots to do and the shows we saw were all amazing. We also did the escape room, bumber cars and i-fly activities, which you can ...
We are a senior couple in our late 70s who have mostly cruised Celebrity over the past years. Have also cruised HAL, and earlier Princess, NCL and Carnival. we are Elite Plus on Celebrity. this year we decided to try RCL Anthem of Seas as we could sail from Bayonne NJ and also have a lot of celebrity perks that carry over RCL.
Have never been on a boat this large or with so many people . ...
I was looking forward to sailing on Oasis because I haven't sailed on RCI since Anthem in Oct. 2019 and I hate to admit it but it was rather disappointing.
Embarkation - Smooth as silk. Walked into terminal, scanned boarding pass , walked onto ship. Whole process took about 5 minutes
Cabin - We had a cabin overlooking Central Park on Deck 11 and it was very good. Heard jazz music ...
This is for a 9 day New England and Canadian cruise. We had an 11AM check in, but were quickly admitted on board 15 minutes ahead of time. Our balcony stateroom on the 8th deck was spacious and comfortable, but on the night of the 70s Promenade "Party" (just a motivation to buy drinks), we heard the bass noises from the 5th deck. Our room steward was very good, even though he forgot to fill up our ...
This was our fourth cruise on Liberty of the Seas, unfortunately the fourth was no where near as good as an experience as the previous 3. We arrive at our assigned check in time and had to wait on line over an hour to check in eventhough we were required to precheck in online. The overall process appeared less organined than in the past. Food quality was poor, most of the time hot food served ...
We booked this 22 months ahead of time. We were unable to get our favorite cabin, JS. We did not like the balcony cabin! Way too small for us. I can't remember how many times we ran into each other between the bed and door.
The Jewel of the Seas is old, built in 2004 and updated in 2016. It needs so much work. Paint peeling, titles cracked, Wi-Fi was almost nonexistent. unless you were in the ...
This is our 5th cruise with Royal Caribbean and I felt, the worst. We booked a September cruise because we believed there would not be as many children on the ship since school had recently begun. We were wrong. There were so many children, young and teens, on this cruise that it made it overly crowded(I heard the ship was at full capacity). Fortunately, the Oasis is a very large ship, so I was ...
My daughter chose this cruise because it was before the school year started. Young children have many things to do. However, it was very crowded and extremely noisy everywhere. The entertainment was excellent. The casino was very Smokey and unpleasant. They had outdated stools to sit on and very few comfortable chairs. The machines are quite outdated and uninspiring. The video poker inventory was ...
We were looking forward to this cruise, but compared to Mediterranean cruises, the ports were very ordinary.
The cut backs are a major disappointment. While I can deal with only one servicing of your room a day. Gone are kettles to make your morning cuppa, or one in the night when you can’t sleep. The food has been cut back to an unexceptionable level. Who doesn’t like ice cream with a ...
