My best friend and I do a birthday cruise every 5 years or so, and we had been on this ship 6 years ago-pre-COVID. We were very surprised and how dated the ship was this year, needs lots of TLC. This is my ninth cruise on various cruise lines. Pros: Cabin steward was excellent and friendly. Dining room staff phenomenal. Veteran's tribute was lovely with a live band playing all the ...

Kind of disappointed but still a good time

We just took this three-day cruise and while we had fun and enjoy Coco Cay, I wouldn't recommend this cruise to anyone over 40. There were LOTS of young children on board (I stupidly thought that since school was in session that people wouldn't bring many kids) and LOTS of very young people. This is fine, but there were so many more than expected. This was our first Royal Caribbean cruise so ...

There's casual, and then there's whatever this trip was. I won't be sailing Royal again.

The best way I can describe it is thinking you were going out for dinner and drinks at an upscale restaurant, and then winding up at applebees. My other frustration was skipping Bermuda because of the hurricane. Obviously weather cannot be controlled and safety always comes first. However, we were supposed to have an overnight stay at a beautiful island....and instead they stopped at port ...

I was looking forward to sailing on Oasis because I haven't sailed on RCI since Anthem in Oct. 2019 and I hate to admit it but it was rather disappointing. Embarkation - Smooth as silk. Walked into terminal, scanned boarding pass , walked onto ship. Whole process took about 5 minutes Cabin - We had a cabin overlooking Central Park on Deck 11 and it was very good. Heard jazz music ...

Ship Needs Revamping

We sailed as a family of five on Adventure, all adults. Even though we had a good trip the ports and ship would not be my first choice again. Boarding was a shambles, but not Royal’s fault. They had a Coast Guard inspection that morning, and there is no controlling how long the Coast Guard takes. Once we were released to board, even though it was hectic with so many people, it went ...

Qualifications: this is our 9th cruise with RCCL since 2002. We've been on every class ship from Oasis to Empress. We did not use the main dining hall for dinner, we'd bought the specialty restaurant package so we cannot comment on the Main Dining. One irritation we found booking this cruise was that pretty much anyone could buy most of the perks of point status (we're Diamond) like wifi, show ...

OK for a short get away, but some misses and some updates needed.

We recently sailed on Independence of the Seas. We are seasoned cruisers with 25 prior sailings, but this was our first with Royal Caribbean. There were several highlights on this cruise including the fact that crew members that we encountered were friendly and helpful. The entertainment staff and headliners were very talented and fun, and one of the best things we experienced during this ...

My husband and I have cruised for more than 20 years so we can easily compare pre and post Covid cruising. What follows is our attempt to describe the good and bad experiences of our recent cruise on Harmony of the Seas. We were very pleased with the efficient embarkation procedure! We were aboard the ship so quickly we were honestly surprised!!! We immediately went up to Windjammer to get ...

We sailed on Harmony last year at the same time. This year, we noticed significant downgrades in the quality of food, shows, and cleanliness. The buffet food was disgusting, not to mention that they served chicken every day. They no longer had a roast beef or seafood night. Dry chicken and pork every day, but cooked with different spices. They no longer had a decent gourmet selection of cheeses ...

Diamond Plus Crown & Anchor members: My wife & I gave the Wonder of the Seas another try after a disappointing experience last November out of Port Canaveral on its inaugural cruise. Embarkation was much better, but they did not care about your scheduled time and parking could be a problem if not there before noon. The cabin attendant did not do as good a job as we have experience in the past. ...
