Royal Caribbean Canary Islands Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise as we had never done this itinerary before, the dates suited us and we were keen to see the changes made to the ship during the refurbishment. We live on the outskirts of Southampton so we were dropped off by our son at the port. We dropped our bags, entered the cruise terminal and within 20 minutes we were checked in and on board enjoying our first drink! The cabin was ...

This was my 26th cruise, 4th TA, and first cruise with RC. We departed from Puerto Rico without incident, boarding and checking in was a breeze. The Jewel is one Royals older ships but still has allot of life in her. Some of the public rooms seemed a bit dated and worn. The dining room is a classic beauty. We mostly dined in the main dining room and buffet. Our waiters in the Main ...

The ship seemed well maintained. I loved the Solarium pool and the whirlpools in the main pool area. It would be nice if the whirlpools in the Solarium had jets. The food was good, though they never served a lobster dinner in the dining room, though they did in the Windjammer. There is not enough room in the Windjammer nor enough seats. I gave up eating there and ate all of my meals in the ...

We choose this cruise because it did not go to the Caribbean, to unknown islands because of the Harricane. We wanted to see more of the Canary Islands. We were disappointed that the Captain knew that he could not 'tender' at Coco Cay and Royal Caribbean did not make provisions to stop at another port, i.e. 'Nassau or Freeport' probably because it cost 'money'. The terminal in Tampa is way too ...

This was a vacation that I took with family members all of whom are retired. The first leg of our cruise was the eight day Italy and Mediterranean cruise on the Rhapsody that began on October 24th, 2017. We decided to continue on the transatlantic crossing on the Rhapsody, back to the United States that ended in Tampa. We found the Rhapsody of the Seas a very small and old ship. The ship ...

We choose this cruise as it stopped in the Canary Islands and was supposed to go to CocoCay (lol) and to try a transatlantic. We treated ourselves to a junior suite as we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and although the suite itself was nice, there was too much noise from above. We were one cabin away from spa so have no idea what all the noise at night was from since the Park ...

Chose RCL for TA because we’ve done TAs with RCL before. Found Rhapsody of the Seas to be disappointing. Even though she’s had a facelift in 2012 she is worn. Wooden tables are scuffed. Table in the Viking Lounge had red wine stains on the table top. I went into the ladies room to get some moist paper towels to clean the table. Balcony cabin roomy enough. Menu at the Windjammer repetitive day ...

Just returned from an excellent family cruise around the Canary Islands. We were a group of 6 adults and one very young child occupying three staterooms No. 8368 a port side aft balcony, No. 8690 an aft balcony and No. 1655 an internal virtual Balcony. The port side balcony was very roomy with a 4 seat couch. The aft balcony stateroom was rather restricted in size for the 2 adults and a small ...

We had cruised with Royal Caribbean before and liked the friendly, relaxed atmosphere on board. I agree with another post that the food in the Main Dining Room was not as nice or varied as it was last year so we ate in the Windjammer most nights and that was fine and always possible to find something we liked. We try and avoid School Holidays but still there were lots of children aboard. As much ...

Ports of cal where good - time somnetimes too short Food was good in the windjammer - for us there was no big diference to the speciality dining flowrider lines where always long :-( There was always enough space round the pools or to find free chairs Staff was sometimes a bit uninterested in their jobs. The food was good, the only thing that anojed us was that they used the same ...
