Last year we went on Royal Independence of the Seas and we had a great time. This time we decided to go on one of their bigger ships Allure of the Seas. First we didn’t realize they did NOT have any water slides for the kids. They had a small splash pad area that squirted water but it was very lame. We were able to make it to the Aqua Show on the back of the boat on the standby line and that thing ...
Other than the food and the Service in the Main Dining Room, I give this ship a solid 2. At best. And I'm being generous ,since the Staff is friendly.
The entertainment is essentially non existent. The shows were poor, the movie theatre didn't work and the few movies they showed by the pool were older than I am. The only thing these people seemed to be concerned with was selling you stuff. That ...
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. ...
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 ...
Do not book this cruise line. Absolutely horrible. Beds were hard as a rock, I woke up multiple times a night not being able to feel my fingers was laying flat on my back. They kept canceling our excursions one was then rebranded and the price was 4 times ad much and they only offered a 15% off another excursions. Then our walking tour was horrible, couldn't hear in the ear pieces, little concern ...
Our food was really good and the staff handling the food & taking care of our room was fantastic!
We were not able to dock at our first port due to high winds & seas. That was the only excursion we has planned unfortunately. We were reimbursed for it but it was still very disappointing.
Then we were lucky enough to be involved in the storms on 01/26/24 (videos all over the internet) that ...
This cruise was in no way worth the cost! The food was at best average, including at Chops Grill & Giovani’s, the entertainment was completely lame, the nightclub was not in use for most of the trip, except for a couple of lame late night brief events.
Given that there is only one stop on the trip and most of the time spent is onboard and at sea these factors were major factors in our ...
We were strictly Royal Caribbean travelers until this cruise. When we got on the boat, we were not even acknowledged, even though 2 boat employees were standing on either side of the door. No smile, no welcome. Just look at us. When we got on the elevator, as soon as I looked at the floors, it looked old and dirty. A far cry from the protocols they were taking during COVID. It's like they ...
Went for a New Years cruise with extended family. Chose this ship because it included New Year in its intinary. First impressions were pretty good , but everything on thr ship is so expensive and the service just doesnt match other cruise lines. I upgraded to a Junior Suite but didnt get te cabin dservice I expected. I tipped early thinking that I would receive a good cabin service but found this ...
