Royal Caribbean Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) Cruise Reviews

My experience on Odyssey was generally positive, with a few hiccups. Here are some pros and cons: Pros: -The ship is beautiful, easily navigable, and well-equipped -The staff were all exceptionally friendly -My stateroom was spotlessly clean and had plenty of storage -Onboard activities were fun and diverse, but you need to book ahead of time! -The destinations on this ...

I am currently on the Jewel of the Seas on the TA cruise from Fort Lauderdale to Southampton. We flew to Miami on the 4th April with American Airlines. This was the first time flying with them and I was very impressed with the whole experience. There was more leg room than with other airlines we had used in the past and the boarding process was much more organised. The airline crew were very ...

We love this class of ship. So many great venues. We’ve sailed on Ovation before and were really excited as Odyssey is even larger and has a couple additional places to dine or drink. We are a bit disappointed in the overall lack of appealing entertainment with some terrific venues being underutilized. Two70 sits eerily quiet during the day on sea days whereas Ovation had some live music. The ...

Despite prices rising the last few years across all of RC’s ships, the cost cutting continues. Once a day stateroom service is a joke. RC should be embarrassed by this. When I was at guest services for a different matter, they grasped at straws to come up with explanations, or as I called them, excuses, as to why this was the case. My favourite was, “well all inclusive resorts only offer once a ...

A family of 14 travelled to Fort Lauderdale for an incredible gift from my mom on this adventure. I haven't been cruising for about 10 years (raising my kids) and I really loved my return to open water! Good things: 1. The ship was well maintained and flowed nicely. Our cabin and room attendant was 5star plus. 2. The windjammer was better than I remembered. 3. The ports of call ...

We just concluded our 8 night cruise on Symphony to Aruba, Curaçao and Labadee Haiti (substituting Nassau Bahamas) we had a very good time! This is our 4th cruise overall (RCCL 7 day, RCCL 7 day, RCCL 8 day and Celebrity 10 night). This was a Spring Break cruise which was absolutely packed with around 5,300 people. The cruisers were overwhelmingly families (parents aged around 32-38 with ...

We love the entertainment on most of the Oasis-class ships, but the shows on the Symphony of the Seas were absolutely spectacular and amazing--by far the best we've seen. The Aqua show, the two ice shows, RC's original show regarding flight and the Broadway show, Hairspray were top notch. We have been on Oasis, Allure, Harmony and now the Symphony. Symphony was by far my favorite based on the ...

We were on the ship as part of the Park West VIP program. Our previous cruise ships were in the 2200-3300 passenger range or smaller, so this was a departure in size, over 50% larger than our previous cruises. For the most part the ship accommodates the number of passengers well but they didn't increase the number or size of the bars and lounges enough to take the increased passenger load into ...

We've been on 35 cruises mostly Princess (my favorite) Royal Caribbean and a few others, but for a short cruise, this was excellent. Embarkation was quick and so was debarkation even tho I need a wheelchair, Usually, this can take time but not on this ship. Only surprise was the buffet closes at 8:00am on debarkation day. Clever way to get people moving. Our room seemed small, it was an ...

Starting with our room. We booked a corner Panoramic Ocean View. The view was fantastic and overall the room wasn't located in a place that was too loud. It was winter months and the temp outside was in the low to mid 70's so the room stayed nice and cool for us. For one of the days, the sun really came out and the room did get a bit warm but not uncomfortably. The amenities in the room seemed ...
