We chose this cruise as we are Diamond Class on Royal Caribbean and so far they have never disappointed. We wanted to try this ship as the only RCI Southampton based and needed to sample before commiting to other sailings. For us this ship is too big and even though it was not a School break there were 500 children on board. We had a balcony but also a young family either side, when they were ...

This was a 12-nighter to the Canaries, including Vigo Spain and Lisbon, Portugal. GREAT CRUISE overall!  Cabin - A standard balcony located on a hump end where the balcony had an angle, giving more space. Cabin Very clean. Great cabin steward, outwardly friendly, very efficient.  Dining - Massive improvements, bravo to RCL on this. Fantastic menu and meal choices from the last time we sailed ...

Having cruised with RCCI since 2002, and now at Diamond membership level, we've noticed the deterioration in quality of service and amenities, however in 2021 we sailed twice on Anthem of the Seas. Even though the ship was only at 25% capacity, we had a pretty good time, the staff were friendly and cheerful and it was very pleasant. This prompted a decision to sail on Anthem again, to the ...

This was supposed to be canaries but was just Belfast and Liverpool. This junior suite cabin is directly above the ladies public toilets on deck 5 so if you like to sleep before 2 or 3am don’t book this one. All I could hear was toilets flushing continuously. Once people eventually went to bed I had the sound of a toilet filling up with water sloshing about until 8 or 9am! Guest services ...

Poor entertainment. Cruise director not great and daily activities were poor. Ship had new carpet but that is it. Breakfast in main dining room was SLOW and COLD when served. Lunch and dinner good in dining room. Room was an outside (3546) the drawers were falling apart had to be fixed twice in 2 weeks. If you choose beds together you can hardly get around the beds without hitting yourself. No ...

I've sailed on other cruise lines and Royal was not my favorite, but they were going to a port that I really wanted to go to and not many other cruiselines went there. This was a family trip so that my dad and the rest of the family could visit the fishing town in Spain where my grandfather came from. Overall the ship was fine, but there were a few things that irked me. They closed the ...

Overall the cruise was a cruise, a time away from our everyday lives to relax in order to continue with the demands normal life lends our way. That said let me tell you we have been on over 25 cruises, on several different cruise lines, and this has to be one of the most unique and challenging thus far. Here are my pros and cons from this cruise: 1. The pros for entertainment was all good with ...

Just home after a cruise to the Portugal and the Canary islands departed from Southampton. Firstly, RCC never miss a trick to make money !! Always book a drinks package and a dining package - we did both and it was excellent value for money. Sea days = Hell days just too many people . The sundeck was just awful peop!e packed in like sardines roasting in the sun. No room between lounger and ...

We sailed from Southampton and because we are Elite status on Celebrity, we are Diamond on Royal. This meant that we had priority boarding. We were soon on the ship, but had to go to the Windjammer for lunch as our room was not yet ready. I missed the welcome drink that we are given on embarkation by Celebrity. The room was ready just after 1.15. We were in 7314, which was starboard side. I ...

This was our first cruise so we don’t really have anything to compare it to. We travelled in a party of 6, 5 adults and one teenager... Getting on the ship was stress free and so much easier than flying. The ship was very clean but this could have been due to a norovirus outbreak on the cruise before us it was continuously cleaned all the time we were on the ship. The ship is enormous, I was still ...
