My friend won a cruise from her company the company picked the ship. Oh yes we have spoken to them about other choices. The ship was so overcrowed you couldnt even get in the pool or find a lounge chair to set in. It took forever to get a drink from the bar. A couple of the bars we just stopped going to. It seemed like they had plenty of cheer in their system and they couldnt care if they waited ...
My husband and I have only cruised Royal Caribbean in the past and figured let's take our daughter for her first cruise for my husband's 40th birthday and Halloween. What a giant waste of money. RC has really gone down hill. Seems like RC keeps spending their money on advertising and private islands but not investing into their ships and staff.
Here are some of the complaints that I pointed ...
The cruise was planned as a family cruise celebrating my granddaughter’s HS graduation. There were 18 in our group ages 12 to 77. Embarkation/debarkation was very smooth.
Dining: Of course, rooms were not ready so 6,000 people were crowded around the open dining establishments which some felt was their place to sit and wait for their rooms. Speaking of dining, this was the best part of ...
e sailed on the Oasis of the Seas July 22nd, 2018... It was great if you love waiting in lines because they were everywhere. RC is trying to pack as many people as they can on a boat bc it's all about money and not the customer's experience.
First the lost all our show reservations leaving us to wait in stand by lines. Their response- we shouldn't have booked the shows so early, we should've ...
As a frequent cruiser Royal disappointed... The online check in was a difficult process requiring phone calls and my time to fix... on board the staff did not go out of their way like other cruise lines do.. the food was ok and any special requests were a "no ".Trying ot obtain orders or water bottles which is complimentary on other cruise lines was a process .,, Finally the unauthorized mistaken ...
I've cruised a lot. This is my second time with Royal and I will never cruise with them again. The service, staff, and overcrowded ship really ruined my vacation. Royal nickel and dimes you to death and doesn't allow a day to go by without trying to sell you EVERYTHING under the sun. I just stepped off the cruise boat yesterday and feel like I should course correct review I've read on here. A few ...
My first and LAST cruise! My kids left bawling from kids area pleading not to be sent there again after first visit. Staff actually put my son in a “time out” for talking too much!! We talked to management and they went a second time, maybe first experience was too traumatic but they were not excited about anything they had to offer and felt more like abandonment to them on a vacation than ...
Family and friends trip. The ports were great. We had fun exploring the islands. Even though the ship had a lot to offer, it was boring. If I was not with a party if would have been a total waste of my money. This was my first cruise. The adventure was exciting but the ship was boring and I will not be booking any cruises with Royal Caribbean in the future. The dining was great. My waiter ...
This was our first RC cruise but have cruised previously on other ships. We were so exited about this ship. However it was the worst cruise and vacation we have ever been on. The food was horrible at EVERY venue. And mind you we are not picky eaters. The steak was spongy, chicken raw. At the buffet the food looked and tasted like it had been sitting out for days and reheated. Main dining took ...
I was going to give them a three rating, but I'm writing this for people like me who stat with the worst and work their way up.
Overall this was an average cruise. Being on one of the world's largest cruise ships gave it some novelty that we had to try once. It didn't take long to realize that a ship with 5000 passengers on a ship geared towards families with children would make for some pretty ...
