We chose the vision of the seas for its itinerary leaving from Bayonne, NJ and sailing fourteen days to Galveston, Texas. We were very unhappy with the pools and hot tubs. They had handicapped lifts that did not reach the wheelchair but were five feet into the air! The pool lift only reached into shallow water and would not reach into the pool itself.
We have cruised on over 150 cruises ...
It is a shame to rate the review 2 Stars when it could have easily been 5 Stars, however for the Strictly Kosher traveler the kosher food was at best marginal, and most times third world. I n all fairness if you are not a kosher traveler then this trip would be fantastic. The ship is hugh, modern, clean, and very exciting shows and entertainment...but if your a kosher traveler you 're going to ...
I have thought long and hard about writing this review (which is why it's taken me so long) and with that in mind here it goes.
After previously cruising with RCI on Oasis, Allure (twice) - which were fantastic and Legend (well that's a story for another time), we had high expectations of cruising on Anthem.
We are from Australia and generally P&O Australia cruisers, so this was 18 months in ...
My boyfriend and I are in our mid and late 20s that share a love for cruising. We book a cruise at least once and year and have been devout Royal Caribbean fans, but unfortunately this cruise has caused us to second guess our decision. The quality of the food has decreased incredibly, we were absolutely disappointed from start to finish. From the moment I walked onto the ship and had my first meal ...
My Husband and I booked a 12-night cruise on Anthem of the Seas for our 18th year wedding anniversary. Thinking that Anthem of the Seas being a new ship would be the best ship at the time, this brand new technology loaded ship is not what it seems to be. It is truly not worth the time or the money spent.
The technology did not work most of the time on the Anthem, such as the Bionic bar ...
We are Loyal Royal Caribbean cruisers. We have cruised several times before and we have enjoyed the experience. However, our experience aboard the Anthem was a bit disappointing.
Embarkation at Port Liberty was very expedient and no problems at all. However, the road leading to the ship was backed and cruisers should allow extra time for this.
We enjoyed staying in a Grand Suite and the ...
Sadly, RCCL seems to be an Cruise Line that is all about getting your money. We booked a 12 day cruise to see the Western Caribbean. Because of weather one day was cancelled. This is understandable and beyond control of the cruse line. However, they switched the itinerary to the Eastern Caribbean, which was a cheaper cruise destination. Also, RCCL gave us our credit for one missing one day ...
I love cruising, I go all the time and believe that RCL is the best but this ship in not up to par.
First the Good:
IFLY is a blast, what a great addition to a ship! We loved the huge solarium, the temp was always nice. Adult pool area was also beautiful. The ships crew were Wonderful, Always Pleasant and Very Kind. It ends about here for the good.
Now the not so good:
The color ...
We were scheduled for a 12 day cruise to the western carribean. Due to weather, we ended up finding out the night before leaving that we would be going to the EASTERN carribean, to places we had already gone! We planned this cruise a year ago. Our travel agent wasn't even notified of any changes to the itinerary. Upon entering the building to get checked in we were confronted with a VERY rude ...
The ship itself is amazing with beautiful new features but it was not set up to deal with the number of people. The flash sales on the promenade were disastrous. You couldn't even get to the bars and other areas near by for the crowds. Not enough elevators to handle the number of people. The food was mediocre at best and arrived cold several times. The dynamic dining just didn't work. The ...
