Royal Caribbean Galveston Cruise Reviews

My husband and I celebrated 20 years of marriage, and I graduated with my Masters degree. We planned to go with another couple. Long story short, we ended up with an interior room instead of a balcony as our friends were in and were very disappointed. Even worse, we paid the same amount, and their room FAR outdid ours. I would never be ok with an interior cabin again. Our cabin was so small my ...

Honestly, I had really low expectations for this cruise after reading reviews on here, but it was close, and our first cruise back after Covid. I can't believe how bad the reviews are of this amazing ship! Yes, a little older, but well maintained in my opinion, and so much to do! Walking deck 8 in the garden was beautiful, and you had many options of places to go and things to do. The service on ...

We went on our second cruise (first was with Carnival Cruises in 2018).Carnival was cheaper and everything included we thought we are paying way more so we will get much better, infact as per their name it would be Royal. Here is what we experienced: 1)Everything we see or want to do is extra money. 2)Activities like surf boarding were free but for our turn of 2 minutes ride we waited 35 ...

Royal Caribbean stateroom and dining options were a disappointment. We had a balcony room, the balcony was full of sandblasting dust on the chairs and table. The interior sofa was heavily soiled with stains and the carpet was dirty with red juice or wine stains. The wood cabinetry was grimy and sticky. RC should spend more time updating the interior of staterooms instead of building bigger boats. ...

I felt publicly embarrassed on our Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas cruise out of Galveston. Our first dinner started off with the waiter saying the “chicken was finger licking good.” When we left the dinning room, we were greeted with passengers licking their finger. So on and so on daily. I complained to the Restaurant Manager about this but to no avail. The last day of the cruise they sat ...

RCCL is focusing all their attention on their new, huge ships, 6,000+ passengers. More money, less crew members, less food, less entertainment, less service. Everything extra cost, most a big cost. Nothing is given as an extra when you book a cruise, no free crew appreciation, no drink packages, no onboard credit but the prices are the same as other cruise lines that give you extras. This ...

Background - 1x HAL (Mexican Riviera), 1X Princess (Alaska), 2x NCL (Alaska and Western Caribbean), 8?x CCL. Self, DW, 2X adult DD (21/24), MIL/FIL. At this point we look at itineraries first and price, not necessarily line or ship. In no particular order... Itinerary - only Costa Maya was new for us. They cut the port time short before the cruise, so all board was 12:30 PM. Our excursion ...

Spent two weeks on Allure starting on May 7th and I'm sorry to say there were many disappointments. Quality & Quantity of food has significantly declined and that was across all venues, esp. the Specialty Restaurants where the prices are way to high. Pinnacles not staying in a Grand Suite or above could not have breakfast in Coastal Kitchen and were allowed to have breakfast in Chops, where the ...

My husband, two 20-something sons and I were on this 7 day cruise out of Galveston to Roatan, Costa Maya and Cozumel. This was our first cruise on RCL, and my sons' first cruise anywhere. This ship seemed to be completely full, so waits for elevators were common as were lines at the main dining rooms for dinner. The wait for an elevator to disembark at the end of the cruise was particularly ...

Several parts of this review assume you already know about cruising. The GOOD... Our cabin was on deck 8. This ended up being a great choice because it was possible to walk from one end of the ship to the other without walking down the room hallways and without needing to get in an elevator first to get to a common area like the promenade, Central Park, or the pool deck. I have a bad knee ...
