Review for a Hawaii Cruise on Quantum of the Seas

Our first time with RCI, we expected so much more - at least a quality near that of other cruise lines at this same cost level. The RCI goal seems to be cut corners at every opportunity (even literally cutting off the corners of cabin beds) & to charge extra for everything they can or to keep bugging you to buy all the "extras". The ship interior has all the flair of a social security office: ...

Oct. Sept. 29th, my husband and I boarded the Ovation out of Vancouver and ending in Sydney Australia. It started out badly as it took over 1.5 hours to get on due to the long queue in Security. The worst part of our cruise was the food. From the menu in the dining room to the choices in the Windjammer. What was available in the Windjammer was below average for taste and variety and those were ...

This was meant to be an aniversary present for my husband. We expected to see some of Hawaii but the itinary was changed several times before the sailing. We sat in Oahu for a survey instead of cruising. They cancelled all our prebooked shore excursions leaving us with a breif stop in Maui. If you wanted to shop great if not disapointing. It was just a really long boat trip from Hawaii to ...

We have been C&A members for many years and been always pleased with the services and treatment on board of RCI ships. We been grateful to the army of the hardworking members of the RCI team, many ymployees, cabin attendants, restaurant workers, cooks, etc. for their efforts to make our vacation comfortable and enjoyable. We never complained. This time, however , we encountered something ...

WORST ROYAL CARIBBEAN SHIP WE'VE BEEN ON

Review for a Hawaii Cruise on Radiance of the Seas

OH MY. We have been on many many cruises with Royal Caribbean before, and this is BY FAR THE WORST ONE. (A bit of context: we have been on the Jewel of the Seas, and Oasis of the Seas, for example. So writing this review, it's based on our prior experiences.) We sailed from Honolulu to Vancouver, as a repositioning cruise, but I don't understand why the embarkation was 3+ HOURS! (photos showed ...

Where does one start. Embarkation was very swift, the cruise ship was beautiful with all the bells and whistles and the entertainment was very good..... but.. unfortunately..that is where the pleasantry ended. Service was good from some staff but....I was going to say bordering on rude but will change that to just downright rude from some staff members. That was if you could get service at all ...

Embarkation was very efficient. I love this ship and her sisters. Especially the lexan model as you exit the elevator and know instantly where the bow and stern are. Sea days were lovely, except for the consistent pop elevator music which seemed to be omnipresent. Which is ok, except that perhaps the volumne could be turned down and the tunes should be changed daily, otherwise, one begins to ...

This is absolutely the worst vacation I have ever had ruined by any cruise line. Here are some highlight of my two week nightmare: 1: Bed was atrocious. A fold up "cot" with a board on it! 2: Television is the same thing over and over..........and over. Movies are $11.95. 3: Food is terrible unless you eat in the "Pay For" dining rooms. 4: Did I mention the bedding is terrible? My back still ...
