Greatly disappointed

Decided to take this cruise out of Boston to Maine/Canada. Have taken this cruise on other ships with Royal in the past. Picked this cruise as when we booked, you still had to take Covid test before going on. Lucky me, they stopped the requirement on October 1, so no tests before cruise. So I got Covid even though I tried to be careful. Very few people wore masks, by end of cruise, several people ...

This was our first cruise post-covid and while we were very happy to be out in the world, our time aboard was nothing special. The staff were marvelous, very friendly and helpful. They were quick to fix or clean up. But most of the crew seemed to be training and it showed. So many dishes were coming out dirty that we had to check glasses before we poured anything. The food was not well ...

Cabin better than expected; food worse than expected.

VOYAGER OF THE SEAS – 9/25 – 10/2 NE/Canada Just some random thoughts about our cruise. Point of reference: We are 74. We cruise for the ports only. We have been on quite a few cruises but most recently our last three were on Holland America Koningsdam and Nieuw Statendam. Boston embarkation was quick – our check in time was 11:30. The line to enter the terminal was fairly long but ...

We've taken this cruise before (although with different cruise lines) because it offers a nice getaway without the airport hassle. Our balcony (partially obstructed view) was fine. Actually, the shower was somewhat larger than we anticipated. One major complaint is that this ship does not have an aft elevator (only mid-ship and forward.) Since our cabin was near the stern this resulted in many ...

BACKGROUND- We are Crown&Anchor Emerald. We have sailed on a variety of RCCL ships...big, small and in between. THE KEY— Excellent! Embarkation was so easy; lunch in the MDR was delicious; our carryon bags were placed in the closet while we were at lunch; expedited debark upon arrival in Bermuda; internet was slow but a nice-to-have benefit; reserved seats in Theater a definite plus; ...

1. Very speedy embarkation process in Boston. We arrived at about 1:15 pm and curbside to cabin was less than 15 minutes. 2. Cabin was ready and clean but looked "worn/used". Cabin steward Jacob was wonderful. 3. Itinerary was changed due to hurricane/tropical storm Jerry. While we appreciate RCI adding a day in Portland and shortening our stay in Bermuda to keep everyone safe and ...

5 great islands, one mediocre ship

We chose this cruise because of the convenience of leaving from Boston and the islands to be visited. The ship is very easy to get around on and the staff is pleasant. Some areas of the ship are in need of repair. In our stateroom bathroom the mirror seemed to have a buildup of algae around the edges and after a brief rainstorm the floor of our balcony was covered in a muddy debris. The ...

So, we've been on The Jewel of the Seas before, and it was fine. Signed up for this one because of easy access to Boston, and we love Bermuda. We've been there several times. Checking in was easy and the ship was nice. A little frayed around the edges here and there but no big detriment. Our biggest complaint was not being able to get potable water easily. We need to drink a lot and brought ...

Excessive Gratuity Rip-off

This was our second and most probably our last cruise. Having previously travelled with P&O, we were lead to believe that things could only get better. Our maiden cruise to the Norwegian Fjords was plagued with badly arranged events and a very poor attitude by the crew we encountered, The 'best' part of the P&O cruise was the time spent ashore and away from the boat. Royal Caribbean was ...
