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 ...
This was my first experience on a cruise.
Unfortunately, we booked 3 excursions ahead of time that were offered on the website and all 3 were cancelled. Last minute we booked a excursion to the blue lagoon and I felt like I was robbed because it was expensive, then we should have depart at 10:30 from the deck, we arrived at almost noon and have to come back at 3:15pm. That was a wast of money ...
Not a fan of inside cabins, wanted to try one with a window that overlooks the Promenade. Hubby is claustrophobic so invited sister to experience this cruise with me. The cabin did have limited space but with the window it made the cabin seem somewhat larger. Still do not think it would work for my husband though as he is spoiled by balcony cabins. We kept the window curtains opened during the ...
Overall, my husband and I had a great trip. The excursions were fantastic, the room was great and the staff are very personable. However, being a young married couple without children, there is very little entertainment catered to our generation.
Most of the entertainment was for the elderly or for young children. Unless you wait later in the night then there are a couple of shows or parties, ...
This was my first cruise ever. I'm usually a plan my own itinerary, airbnb type of traveller. My husband and I went with 2 other couples, both of which were experienced cruisers.
The ship was very clean and well maintained. We had a balcony stateroom which was well laid out, spotlessly clean and had plenty of storage. My only complaint about the stateroom was the water in the shower could ...
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 ...
Unbelievable experience on this ship! Where to start... The first day I found that all of the reservations that I had made for dinner were gone from the RCCL app so my husband and I went to the Main Dining Room directly to find out our dining time. It was a bit crowded, so I sought out a member of the wait staff that was outside of the dining room to explain our situation and seek guidance. ...
Worst vacation of my life. Felt like a prisoner packed like sardines on that ship with way too many people. It was spring break and sold out. Loud obnoxious music and noise everywhere. Bands blasting music on every pool deck and immediately when you walk off the boat at Coco Cay. So loud it hurt. No where on the ship to relax in quiet except the gym, and sometimes in your room or balcony. Mediocre ...
We just returned from The Liberty of Seas 3 nt. Cruise from Ft. Lauderdale. This was our 3rd cruise with Royal Caribbean. The other cruises we’ve taken with them have been good. This one was a little weird and annoying. There were some good parts, but the no-so-good parts almost ruined it completely for us.
DAY 1: After dropping off our luggage at the specified (covered) area (it was raining), ...
