Orginally wanted to go to and overnight in St. Petersburg but they cancelled this and put in two diiferent ports of call which were a total waste of time. Thank you Mr Putin. Other ports were so so. Decided to go despite them cancelling St Petersburg but should of cancelled like everyone else as there were on 1,200 passengers on board. The routing on the ship was terrible we went back and forth ...
Having been on cruises on more than one occasion including the Jewel of the Seas a few years ago, I have enough experience to know and appreciate what a good cruise is like. The ‘shows’ on Voyager of the Seas, were practically non-existent, compared to previous cruises. The ‘entertainment’, in most cases, ran for 30 – 45 minutes and, whilst entertaining, they were a poor relation to previous ...
After some amazing cruises with TUI and Royal Caribbean, we chose to do the Norwegian Fjords primarily for the scenery. Sad to say Gerainger aside we didn’t see too much of the Fjords and spent a lot of time on choppy sea. Trips further into the Fjords were available but at a price.
The ship wasn’t clean at all. Many windows were filthy, and some of the public areas were extremely dusty. We ate ...
Having sailed with RCCL many times I expected a great cruise on a grrat ship. Sailed out of Copenhagen. The Seranade of the Seas is in dire need of extensuve updating and repairs. Windows in the Safari Club lounge haf 1" of water between the panes. It had formed into algae. Water leaking in windows in the Windjammer. Casino tobacco smoke was not ventilated properly spilling in to public areas. ...
We knew what to expect when booking the 2017 edition of Royal. The food and service are now mediocre and bear no resemblance to the Royal of a bygone era. However, the itinerary was fabulous, including 4 days in Iceland.
In fairness, the Park Cafe staff was friendly and on the ball and some of the Aquarius restaurant staff were helpful in correcting errors. Unfortunately, the cabin ...
We did this cruise primarily for the destinations -- Copenhagen, Tallinn, Stockholm, St Petersberg, Helsinki. The ports were nice and we had pretty good weather.
My wife and I traveled with 4 kids ages 11, 9, 6, and 3. The kids enjoyed the adventure ocean for the most part.
We have been on 10+ cruises with RCI - and the Serenade of the Seas is a very average ship. It's a bit older, and it ...
We chose this cruise as my son has always wanted to see Eastern Europe.
We were told to embark at 1030am which i was suprised at because it seemed quite early but were happy to go along with it. When we checked in we were given an empty folder pocket which apparently should have had a wifi code in but didnt, we should have had 2 drinks package stickers which we didnt and we got our coffee card ...
Group of 10 went on back to back cruises. Chose this cruise because of the itinerary plus the sail date worked with our cruise on another ship. Some of us were on RCL cruises a couple of years ago and noticed the decline in quality so our expectation was low on this cruise and yet the further drastic decline was absolutely shocking. In the past RCL was just as good as any other lines but in the ...
This was our 7th cruise. So far we've sailed with Celebrity, Princess and Carnival. Vision of the Seas was our first (and, I expect, last) experience with Royal Caribbean. We chose this cruise because of the itinerary, which included a stop in Klaipeda, Lithuania. That was a distinct difference from other Baltic cruises offered by other lines.
Pluses: The ship's decor was the most tasteful ...
Itinerary, the main reason for the cruise. It was disappointing. Next time we will choose a different cruise line. It looks like the cruise lines main objective is to secure as much money as possible from the passengers. We have never been on a cruise where one has to pay for shuttle services from berthing jetty to city centres. The speciality restaurants onboard are expensive and not very good. ...
