I get it , RCL is cutting corners to increase revenue. But, it is becoming so obvious to everyone because of poor food quality and lackluster service.
Boarding the ship is nothing special. There is a separate entrance for suite guests that simply dumps you in line with everyone else.
I booked loft suite. It was very clean but furniture is showing its age. Loft bathroom has hot water the ...
This was our 35th cruise on RCL, starting in 2002 on Explorere of the Seas. We sailed on Oasis of the Seas on its' preinaugural cruise in December 2009 and many times since. After trying for many years we finally got our family to join us. It was the first cruise for the grandchildren and only the second RCL cruise for their parents and our sons mother-in-law. We really wanted to get everyone ...
I quit. Cruisin with Royal Caribbean since 1999 and am a Pinnacle level (top tier) member. In the earlier days, the RCL cruises were more classy cruises with beautiful dinners and professional staff. We fell in love and stayed loyal for years. But over the years, RCL built more ships and became money hungry. They increased room capacity on all the ships, cut back on many elements that made ...
Royal Genie Allan is nothing short of amazing! We were lucky enough to enjoy his company on our recent cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the seas. Everything from the delicious food, to his wonderful service, was top notch.
He truly went above and beyond in helping us plan our days on board and shared a wealth of knowledge about the ship, its culture and its fantastic destinations. He ...
My husband and I booked this cruise a while back and we like the Oasis class ships. We have cruised quite a bit with Royal (Diamond Plus members) so we have experienced the good and the bad. Royal is losing their "shine" and "top notch" services. I read a while back about the menu changing and this was our first cruise experiencing that...I went in with an open mind - I will say I read in the ...
I loved the Oasis...... lots of very nice features. We enjoyed the water slides, the shows, and the many venues and activities..... My biggest complaint was the crowds. Its a large ship, and has many places to go. But, chairs by any of the pools were nearly impossible to find. Way too many chair hogs. And eating at the WJ was often a frustrating challenge. There were just ...
Overall, we had an absolutely wonderful cruise on Oasis! There were many, many positives, but first I'll start with just one negative thing that could be improved. Our check-in experience, in a nutshell, was a total nightmare. We waited in line for an hour and a half, about 45 minutes of which was in the hot sun with no shade. Now, we are a couple with no kids in our thirties in pretty good shape ...
Booked 2 balcony cabins with family only to find my cabin had not been cleaned,the toilet was covered in faeces,soneone had vlearly been poorly in the cabin prior to us ! The cabin had not been cleaned,carpet was covered in bits..... We complained and after waiting 5 or 6 hours were given a new cabin with no apology.
There was a strong smell of cannabis on the ship daily.
The windjammer did ...
We enjoy sailing from Bayonne New Jersey in the summer- our annual Summer cruise. This cruise was 9 nights so we had bonus days. The terminal now is much more crowded as it used to accommodate smaller ships. When we enter the terminal area, we dropped off our luggage, then proceeded to an outdoor parking lot as the main indoor lot was full. Since we were in a suite, we had an early boarding ...
Our waiter was EXCELLENT!!!
Our stateroom attendant was also great and kept our cabin in tip top shape. Crew was great!
Ship is beautiful.
Food is okay, Windjammer dessert isn't good and they never had vanilla ice cream. Windjammer is too crowded for breakfast.
I would like to see more daytime activities. Not much going on during the day.
Nightlife was pretty good. However ...
