Everything has dropped in quality since our cruise on the same ship, same itinerary in 2022. We later found out the trained staff was moved to Icon of the Seas, and Wonder has a new untrained staff. Same for all the bells , whistles, and budgets.
It took over 45 minutes in a long line to get on the ship boarding at 12:00 pm, later on we found longer lines for elevators, bars, ...
Ship was the best in the RC fleet we had been on and the Oasis class still seems to get bigger and better, it has its issues around which ports it can get in, and now those are becoming stale as they do third/forth time, I won’t mention CoCocay, alas I’m sure we will be seeing more of the private island concept inflict itself on us in years to come, tragic but understandable, the company will save ...
We just returned from The Liberty of Seas 3 nt. Cruise from Ft. Lauderdale. This was our 3rd cruise with Royal Caribbean. The other cruises we’ve taken with them have been good. This one was a little weird and annoying. There were some good parts, but the no-so-good parts almost ruined it completely for us.
DAY 1: After dropping off our luggage at the specified (covered) area (it was raining), ...
I very much regret our latest cruise on Mariner of the Seas. We went during a busy time (spring break season), but the boat felt especially crowded. It was very much akin to how airlines started squeezing as much people in during the last decade or two- the cruise felt overbooked and there wasn't a single space, bar, or restaurant that wasn't jam packed or didn't have a line. In addition, the ...
I have 12 Royal cruises under my belt before this and number 13 was NOT the lucky one. I cruised with my wife and my 17 year old son. This was the first RC cruise I went on where I did not have that, "I want to come back" feeling.
The GOOD
1. Our waiter in the main dining room was spectacular. She was the shinning star of the cruise.
2. The casino was less smokey compared to other ...
This cruise was for our 3rd anniversery on the 11th. We cruised with Royal last year on Jewel of the Seas last year for our 2nd and had a great time. So this year we decided to take Royal again. And looking at Oasis it seemed like it had a lot of potential for a great time. I can honestly say the only great thing about it has been our room attendant and our immediate wait staff in the dining ...
It's been at least 10 ten years since we took a cruise. we just happen to be in fla. And decided to drive to miami and take a cruise, the weather hadn't been good in jan/feb. and don't get me started on the non spa. i guess those tired moms don't deserve a little break. the worst rub down i've ever had, along with the up, up, up sell to possible other treatments that you didn't need. there ...
The cruise ship itself was large and clean. The staff though was not trained very well and confusing to talk with. I had purchased the soft drink package which comes with a cup to use at the drink stations. I thought this might be addressed at the check in but that was basically a glance at your passport and sent aboard. I could not find any information other than to see guest services so I did ...
Last year we went on Royal Independence of the Seas and we had a great time. This time we decided to go on one of their bigger ships Allure of the Seas. First we didn’t realize they did NOT have any water slides for the kids. They had a small splash pad area that squirted water but it was very lame. We were able to make it to the Aqua Show on the back of the boat on the standby line and that thing ...
Last time we were on Royal Caribbean was before Covid. I always used to love Royal Caribbean until this cruise. Started off with problems with my seapass card. It would not work. Ended up missing the ice show. Had to stand in Guest services line twice to get a new cards issued. Ship is overrun with kids. Kids running up and down the hallways. Parents doing nothing. kids playing kickball in ...
