Royal Caribbean Eastern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

Booked this cruise because of the itinerary. I planned on visiting friends in both Barbados and Tobago, which I did. The only problem with the itinerary is the San Juan departure port which is cumbersome to get to. The Jewel although one of RCI's older ships was clean and well maintained and really doesn't show her age. Some aspects like the tiny pools and small windjammer buffet do harken to ...

We are Diamond Club status and have been on this ship 9 times. Shows have all been the same since the ship first sailed years ago. The show attendance was never to capacity The stateroom was never vacuumed in the 11 night cruise and we noticed the same dirt on the floor since we first got in the cabin. You now pay extra for I Fly and North Star which use to be free which results in ...

We cruised with family - three couples. We loved the ship - our third time on Anthem! The good things: lots of activities and things to do on the ship: pickle ball, bumper cars, roller skating! Escape Room, i Fly, and the Northstar! The entertainment is first rate: Iconic band was extraordinary - there was not one song played that did not sound like the original artist - and they have nice ...

Very disappointed, why 5 watch shops, ship not pretty as other royal ships, no good shows/entertainment, paying customers very rude, I will try different cruise line next year. Staff friendly. All shops same thing. Not enough of different things to drink. People in customs even rude. Nice and organized debarking. Casino very small and if you like quick hit games then that’s the casino for you. ...

I travelled with my two kids under 3, husband and parents. Firstly , the pack and play they provide for babies is disgusting- it’s hard plywood and I wouldn’t make my worst enemy sleep on that. Because of this- my kids had to sleep with me the entire vacation… the food was terrible , poor selection and taste and quality was poor. Service was just okay, nothing compared to the service I’ve received ...

A little about us: we just retired at the ages of 59 and 63 and this was our 25th cruise (I think). We primarily sail with Royal and Norwegian. We are Emerald status with Royal. We booked this cruise 48 hours before sailing! We were told we booked the last available cabin on the ship which was an inside cabin. We always book a balcony but decided to go with it since we were getting a ...

Long-time RCL cruisers. First AND LAST time we let them choose our room (we were just going along with our group). I should have known as soon as I opened the first drawer on the chipped dresser and the front of it fell off! Had to pound it back together. Our veranda was a rusty mess! In need of paint but not on the floor and table that was splattered with old paint. We had soot rain down ...

I am a D+ on RCL, so have really enjoyed them in the past. They now have gone paperless and have an app that you must use. It often takes 2 or 3 tries to get in. Why not perfect the app before launching it? The wifi is now the same way. You often have to try several times to log on. This is the first year that i have had poor wifi reception on a RCL ship. They have very few big shows as in the ...

This was a great trip. The Jewel is one of the smaller ships but it was perfect for this intinerary because it was so port-heavy. I wouldn't reccomend getting the drink package on this one. It seems like a great idea at first but if you plan to leave the ship every day to visit the islands, it would be more economical to just buy your drinks individually. We chose this cruise because we've ...

From waterparks, bowling alleys, F1 simulators, ice skating rinks, swimming pools and everything in between there is a cruise ship for every member of the family. But what if there was one cruise ship that had it all, something for everyone. What if one cruise ship could be the ultimate vacation, no matter what you’re looking for? Enter Icon of the Seas, Royal Caribbeans new class of ship – an ...
