My family of 5, ages 53, 52, 24, 22, 22, chose this cruise because of the itinerary. This was our 10th cruise with Royal Caribbean and we never visited Curaçao or Aruba before.
Embarking/Departure:
This was the most disappointing part of the cruise, but it was not Royal Caribbean’s fault. Embarking was delayed about 45 minutes due to the Coast Guard’s yearly inspection. Departing was a ...
We reached Platinum status with RCL on this cruise, so we have some past experience with the line.
The cabin was very dated. Our cabin steward had it nice and tidy for us, but you could tell it was well worn around the edges and at the very least needs a deep cleaning. The bed was very comfy, and the balcony had nice room, compared to our next cruise on Sky Princess, however the plexiglass ...
I had a decent time because I was with good friends. The food was terrible (buffet) all fried foods and low quality. Even the nights for the “formal dinning” was nothing more than the buffet food served on a nice plate with waiters. We decided to make reservations and pay extra for good food. That was a huge disappointment. I ordered lobster and it came out with a white sauce smothered all over ...
All the services that we received was awesome from the cooks, servers, housekeepers, and even the people that checked us in for the cruise. But I would like to thank four people who went above and beyond Maaressi, Vijay, Sahip, and Ketut these guys were amazing and hope to sail with them again. Next time i cruise I will ask if they are on my cruise ship. Great cruise and great people. Every ...
I took a cruise 12 years ago and loved it. I was excited about getting to go back to coco cay. I told my wife how amazing it was and told my kids they were gonna love it. When we got to the new coco cay to say I was disappointed would be a huge understatement. Not only have they destroyed the island feel of it. They booked another cruise ship on the island the same day. There was no room in the ...
This cruise was way too crowded for comfort. The pool chairs we always full. There is no splash pad and no babies allowed in the pool. Not even a blow up pool on the deck unless you agree to carry it full of water to the bathroom and dump the water there. There were only 4 bathroom stalls for the main pool.
Our aft suite looked over a blue roof and horizontal multiple metal bars. There ...
my brother booked. This cruise was a guys only retirement gift for both of us. I would never have booked carnival, but my brother was platinum status so I let him go ahead with it. buffet food was somewhere between prison, food and high school cafeteria quality. The buffet was terrible and the only option for lunch. They had some food court type kiosk, but the wait was unbearable. The main dining ...
We have sailed Royal several times but this was our first time taking our kids (17, 15, 12).
Pros: lots to do on the ship. Kids enjoyed the arcade, Rick climbing, laser tag, water slides and mini golf.
Food was good, not amazing. Lots of repetition in the windjammer which we had not seen on past cruises. Main dining staff were amazing, brought the kids extra things to try every meal. Food ...
Overall, the cruise was pleasant and we set ourselves up with some very low expectations after reading previous reviews. The crew/staff did a fantastic job and many went well above expectations. The stairs and public area carpets looked new, the rooms were dated but overall were in good shape. Artwork throughout the ship has changed since our last RCCL cruise about 6 years ago and it was a nice ...
My wife and I have been cruising for about 15-16yrs now and have taken at least 13-14 cruises. We’ve been mostly on the NCL, Royal and Disney lines with many amazing and fun memories. We booked this cruise in 2019 before the pandemic made a mess of everything. We were given a deadline to take the cruise in order to take advantage of the cabin credits and to avoid losing our paid fair. So we ...
