Royal Caribbean Eastern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

The last few years, my vacations have consisted of going to All-Inclusive Resorts instead of cruising. It had been over 15 years since I've been on a cruise. As I had some vacation days I needed to use before the end of the year (Use them or lose them scenario) I decided to mix things up and do another cruise this time instead of going to a resort. Deciding on doing a cruise instead of going to ...

We chose the Wonder of the Seas because we are Royal Caribbean fans who mostly like to sail on newer and Oasis-class ships, as well as the convenience of Port Canaveral. This time was definitely different. It took 3 hours to get from I-95 and Hwy. 528 to the port and to our room. The terminal was a mess; parking was a joke, with outside parking in the pouring rain to the tune of $145 for the week. ...

My wife and I are boomers, Diamond, and one of us had a smartphone. This was the Wonder's first cruise out of Port Canaveral. The traffic outside the port was terrible. We arrived at noon and didn't actually make it to the terminal until 1:30. Once in, everything flowed smoothly. I heard the delay was due to the mandatory Coast Guard inspection for ocean crossing ships. Everything was normal and ...

Family of 7 adults/4 balcony cabins sailed together. The Wonder is sparkling new and beautiful. The basic oceanview balcony is very nice, a good size with lots of storage and comfortable bed. As other reviews have stated, the magnetic latch on the bathroom door is a pain, but that was pretty much our only complaint about the room. Our room steward, MInguel, was terrific, most mornings he ...

I am a Gold Crown & Anchor member, this was our 5th cruise on Royal Caribbean. It is a shame RC has lost their way and hopefully the CEO, Jason Liberty is paying attention…. More importantly I hope he is making changes. Either he will or his successor will be forced to. Wonder of the Seas was a beautiful ship. The parking was a total failure. They ran me around in a circle 3 times before i ...

Wonder of the seas……Nov 13 Our boarding experience was amazingly smooth. We boarded at 2:30. The early boarders had a very difficult time. But it was all worked out when we arrived. My first impression of the ship was just not good. Possibly I’ve read so much hype about this new ship that my expectations were just too high. The ship is obviously beautiful, but the layout is challenging. ...

Overall, we had an absolutely wonderful cruise on Oasis! There were many, many positives, but first I'll start with just one negative thing that could be improved. Our check-in experience, in a nutshell, was a total nightmare. We waited in line for an hour and a half, about 45 minutes of which was in the hot sun with no shade. Now, we are a couple with no kids in our thirties in pretty good shape ...

We have cruised Royal Caribbean for many years and have sailed sister ships of the Jewel of the Seas. This was the absolute worst cruise we have ever been on. The main dining room food was horrendous and extremely slow. The Windjammer provided much better food. Giovanni’s was anything but a “Specialty”. The ship is very dated and in desperate need of a refresh. Our cabin was 7550. The ...

We chose this ship over Disney Cruise because of the appeal of the onboard amusement park for our annual family vacation. There were 6 adults and 4 children: 10, 7, 7, and 4. The adults are repeat cruisers. We are also repeat Royal Caribbean/Celebrity customers. We understand that there are challenges to post pandemic travels. We were mandated to use the APP and the web for communication. The ...

We were on this ship before the pandemic, just before they shut down the cruise industry. We also went on its sister ship which is very nearly identical. My overall impression of the ship was good; however, they seem to have cut a few corners since my other sailings on these two ships and made a few changes I didn't like. There were some maintenance issues, which I didn't see before, and some ...
