Not a fan of inside cabins, wanted to try one with a window that overlooks the Promenade. Hubby is claustrophobic so invited sister to experience this cruise with me. The cabin did have limited space but with the window it made the cabin seem somewhat larger. Still do not think it would work for my husband though as he is spoiled by balcony cabins. We kept the window curtains opened during the ...
Overall - Amazing. Remember that this is a family friendly ship! Enjoy the kids and embrace the laughter!
Or waiter Heera and our assistant waiter Arnold were 10 out of 10!!! Heera, I expect to see you in a suit! ;)
Gede - Royal needs to know Gede! This gentleman was beyond amazing! 10 out of 10!! The first night, Gede came by our room and visited for a few minutes. From that short ...
Blown away by this ship. Royal Carribean have put everything they have learned into one offering and it totally surpassed our expectations.
A huge boat that didn’t feel crowded, with ample seating & space in every venue. Plenty of windows giving a real feeling of connection with the sea. And real memorable “highlight” areas such as the infinity pool at aft.
Service and crew all ...
I just rejoined Cruise Critic after a long absence. My wife and I are taking about 2 cruises per month on Carnival and Royal. We live 30 min from Port Canaveral. The Allure is a beautiful ship with a great staff. Everyday, we were met with smiles whether it was the front desk, the casino, or the Foodjammer . We were greeted by name in some of the shops and the casino also. This was our Diamond+ ...
After exclusively sailing on Oasis Class ships for the previous 10 years I was concerned about going down to Freedom Class with a sailing on Independence. A quick look at the recent reviews here further confirmed that this would be the worst vacation of my life…
I’m very pleased to say that we thoroughly enjoyed our cruise and would absolutely sail on the Independence of the Seas again! Perhaps ...
We have been on over 20 cruises, and Allure of the Seas was wonderful. We found the employees to be super friendly, and also the food was very good. We enjoyed the variety of music and entertainment. Even without the shows, there was always something going on with contests, trivia, games, dance moves, multiple pools, and shopping. We booked four cabins in different areas, and they were all ...
Huge but spacious. Just like every ship you quickly become familiar with the layout. Plenty of complimentary eateries around the ship. Show are just as spectacular. However no indoor solarium with pool. Plenty of seats, We were rained out the first sea day and once docked, no sprinkles but heavy and steady rain. We sail with approximately 7000 passengers which approximately 2700 were children ...
Never experienced this kind of hospitality. Ever. All of the crew. Loved meeting every one of you! Very clean ship. Didn’t even see a cobweb. Statesman for my room was the best. He made my stay! Thank you sooooo much Elmer Fudd (really, that is his name)!!! You are amazing and we love you in Virginia! The most relaxed I have been in many years. Great room and slept like a baby. The only negative ...
Food was some of the best in over 25 cruises. Ships entertainment was a ten. All the shows of course had to be picked and reservation made in advance. Terminal was easy in and out. No complaints absolutely perfect highly recommended. Adult pools and places were so quiet and alot of variety of places to find to be alone especially if you like to sunbath and read. Best part was staffing was the most ...
I was worried as this ship is the smallest and oldest of Rroyal Caribbeans fleet but I was greatly surprised!! The staff was supper attentive and friendly, the boat wasn't crowded at all there was always available pool chairs available, and the food was absolutely delicious I was obsessed and gained a few pounds for sure LOL. We loved our dinner staff Yogi and Iputu! Yogi did some magic tricks for ...
