Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Serenade of the Seas

Background: We had not sailed on Royal Caribbean since before the Covid shutdown (2019) and still had a NextCruise from a cancelled Majesty OTS sailing in 2021. So after a pause in sailing with RCCL, we booked this quick cruise from our homeport here in FL. We arrived at the pier at our prescribed boarding time and were checked in without any problem but with no recognition of being Crown & ...

Ports nice but excursions not great

We have been on at least four cruises with Royal and we enjoyed the cruise to Europe last year that we took with our daughter and two teenage grandsons. The cruise was a nice experience for them with all the various activities aboard that they took advantage of along with friends that they met. They took private excursions along with other friends. My husband and I took excursions with Royal and ...

RC was too busy promoting Utopia to care about Serenade passegers.

I booked this cruise with my 23 year old daughter for a mother/daughter trip. We booked Serenade due to the itinerary meeting our needs. We previously sailed RC as a family on the Oasis and Freedom. We loved both of the previous cruises. I was a bit hesitant booking such a small ship but figured it was only 5 days and would be great regardless of size. Embarkation was wonderful. We were on the ...

Not so great service for a suite guest

I booked this trip based on past good experience at Freedom of the seas from San Juan to southern Caribbean. I booked the same room Ocean View Panoramic Suite (No Balcony). But the services I received in the ship is far less than the Freedom of the seas. 1) no special bathroom stuff such as shampoo, condition, etc., it is the same as regular room; no slippers, same regular towels that are ...

I have been on over 20 cruises with RCCL, I was always a fan of this cruise line but unfortunately no longer. Pros - Excellent entertainment, the Ice shows and water shows are spectacular. Embarkation/ Disembarkation good. Cons - CABINS now only serviced once a day ( apparently new procedure introduced March 2023) No paper information in cabin all now on ...

Beds are horrible and food is subpar

This cruise had the worse quarters for comfort as the beds were rock hard and the sofa was also so hard you couldn’t sit on it for any length of time. The food was plentiful at the buffet but it was of poor quality. The main dining hall meals were also sub par as the steaks were tough and the other meals were just fair. If you want to eat a lot of food all day and do not care about its quality, ...

We chose this cruise because we liked the itinerary and have enjoyed cruising with RC in the past. We ate in the dining room for nearly all breakfast and evening meals, with the exception of one speciality dinner at Wunderland. Breakfast was exceedingly slow. It took a very long time for a server to come to our table and take our order. Once we ordered, the meal was delivered in average ...

This was our second Royal Caribbean Transatlantic crossing and what a contrast. Our 2018 trip was a real pleasure. This November 2022 cruise was plagued by mistakes. Almost every day there were last minute changes, conflicting and often duplicate scheduling of events on the ship. Repeatedly, crew made no seating or staging preparations for events. The Cruise Campus was a mess. Examples: Oe ...

We took the cruise from Haifa, Israel to Barcelona, Spain because of the destinations. We got onboard at the port of Haifa. Our cabin was dated and worn. The ship originally set sail in 1997. It doesn't appear that the staterooms have been updated since. The food in the "sit down" restaurants was terrible. Entries appeared to have been plated well before our arrival. The food arrived at ...

A most disappointing cruise

The Holy Land cruise was prior to the following transatlantic, so we got a 'good feel' for the Odyssey. We've had 8 cruises on RCCL, 4 of which were transatlantic and 1 transpacific. We sailed Celebrity 10 times, 4 of which were transatlantic. Towards the end of the first cruise, we came down with a mild case of Covid, despite having our shots and 4th booster. We were quarantined in our cabin for ...
