Royal Caribbean Canada & New England Cruise Reviews

We booked this 22 months ahead of time. We were unable to get our favorite cabin, JS. We did not like the balcony cabin! Way too small for us. I can't remember how many times we ran into each other between the bed and door. The Jewel of the Seas is old, built in 2004 and updated in 2016. It needs so much work. Paint peeling, titles cracked, Wi-Fi was almost nonexistent. unless you were in the ...

I chose this cruise because I've never been to New England before. Unfortunately, because of the hurricane, our itinerary was changed to the Bahamas. I'm a warm weather person so I was not angry with this. Also, we only had some 970 passengers on board because many people either could not change at the last minute or did not want to go to the islands.. The passengers really made this cruise. We ...

Service nearly everywhere was very good to outstanding. The waiters we had in the MDR worked very well to get our table of 4 were very well taken care of and consistently out in about an hour and 15 minutes. The head waiter visited our table usually 2-3 times every night. This has NEVER happened before on any ship on any cruise line. We were lucky to see a head waiter 2-3 times the entire ...

After a few years away from cruising for various reasons including a so-so experience on a Christmas cruise on a smaller Royal Caribbean ship, my husband and I decided to give them another shot since we had sailed with them on 6-7 other cruises with them without incident. We booked a 9 night Canada and New England cruise this past September on Liberty of the Seas in a balcony stateroom. From the ...

On the day of the cruise we flew into Newark, NJ and had prepaid the RC shuttle from the airport to the cruise port. There were about 80 people at the airport terminal and they sent one bus which only holds 50 people so after waiting two hours in 90 degree heat a second bus finally arrived. We got to the ship a little after 2PM. Since they knew how many people had signed up there was no excuse for ...

The crew is fantastic as always, especially the concierge Sukriti Rai, Sue. She is super nice and will help you with any concerns. I have always had a good experience with the crew. The itinerary was nice seeing New England. Used the hop on hop off bus in Boston, while good, it was a long trip back to ship of about 2 or more hours, so know that. You can use Uber most everywhere if you don't ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary that included Iceland and Greenland, and the price (we travel a lot, before the Jewel, we spent weeks in Europe and since this cruise we spent 6 weeks in Singapore, Hong Kong, and China), since we have to watch the budget. We enjoyed the itinerary, and overall the experience was good. The crew worked hard and the service was good. We loved ...

The food was mediocre at best. The itinerary was why we chose this cruise. I have been around long enough to know that the new, splashy ships have the least interesting itineraries, and the older tired ships have the most interesting itineraries. However, I did not expect the older ship to offer subpar food and experiences. The salad dressings had no flavor at all, and the soups were just ...

We chose this cruise primarily because of the itinerary. We are not novice cruises, having done over 60 of them. The ship is older, but appears to be well maintained for the most part. Embarktation was slow, stood in line for over an hour before we boarded. We had a balcony cabin that was spacious and featured good storage. Most employees try very hard to please, but overall management is ...

I enjoyed this cruise, but prefer the Oasis class versus the Freedom class (first time). I have been on the Voyager of the Seas, Serenade of the Seas, Brilliance of the Seas, Oasis of the Seas (2x), and Radiance of the Seas. I sailed on the Liberty of the Seas on 8/24 (first cruise of season) packed for totally different weather. Bring pants and jackets. Do not expect to be able to sit out on ...
