Royal Caribbean Cruise Reviews

In full disclosure, this was my first cruise, so I have nothing to compare it to other than other land-based vacations. I quite literally cannot adequately express how amazing this experience and cruise was. From the room to the crew to the food to the activities it was an amazing trip. PROS: 1. The crew was consistently amazing. Friendly, helpful, and always attentive. 2. I had an ...

I usually cruise with Disney and Celebrity but decided to give Royal a try. I did a 4 night cruise which I felt was a perfect amount of time for a first time Royal cruiser. This was very much so a booze cruise so be aware if you’re not a drinker…people can get pretty crazy onboard. We were past capacity (I asked a crew member and they said 4,590 guests were onboard)…the pools and lido deck were ...

It's been 5 years since we've sailed on Royal Caribbean although a Platinum member. We went with family including grandchildren that wanted to visit Perfect Day at Coco Cay. The ship has so much for every age to enjoy. Even though there were 6500 passengers waiting in line was not a problem. My only issues was two of us paid $1100 total for the Deluxe Alcohol package and on day 4 they ...

We usually cruise on Carnival but thought we’d give Royal Caribbean a try. What a mistake. This ship is old and dirty. It needs a makeover. It smells. The rooms are tiny. The cruise assistants are so unhelpful. Every question we asked we got the response absolutely not. We purchased 2 very expensive cabanas for the Bahamas. They didn’t put us next to each other and told us we had to ask ...

Looked like a great trip. Had done all of the paperwork and spent overnight in Cape Canaveral. Hampton there was excellent. Boarded very quickly although the staff at the desks had no organization. Still we got right on the ship and immediately the troubles started. As most are aware you really cant book anything until you are on the ship. well our app keeps telling us to go to guest relations. ...

This is my second time on Harmony of the Seas, but first cruise since COVID. We were traveling with a group celebrating my daughter's 16th birthday. Our group of six people were between 16 and 65 and most had cruised at least once prior to this sailing. While we enjoyed our time on Harmony we did notice there were some things that just made this experience different. PROS: We had a quick ...

The ship was beautiful, full of great entertainment and fun things to do! The shows were spectacular and the comedy had us reeling with laughter! Getting on and off the ship was fast and flawless. Dinners were perfectly delicious and the wait staff was really great! We would have loved seeing the workers cleaning handrails and common areas like they did during the Norovirus days. Glasses ...

We had a balcony room with an EXCELLENT Cabin Attendant! We had my time Dining but---you need to "read between the lines. Luckily, we were able to reserve our time and table and walked right in every night but the first---TIP: reserve your table for the same time and your wait staff---no waiting this way! Wait staff was great---Very short staffed though! they will take care of you! Canceling ...

The cruise: I am giving the Royal Caribbean Explorer of the Seas Experience a C-. This is why: The food was basic and unflavorable. I don’t think that is a word, but they need to adjust seasonings and flavorings. The deserts offered in the Windjammer where the buffet is served, all tasted the same: sponge cake with shipped filling; small cups of whipped toping and a fruit topping, cookies were ...

Ok let me do this quick review of my cruise June 10-13 2022 on Independence of the Seas. This is my review of how I saw it and what you have seen may be totally different. I will give an A, B C, D, F grade. This is my first cruise since October 2019 pre pandemic. I have been cruising since 2008 all on Royal. Not putting my C&A status as that will not give anything extra to the review. Had a ...
