This was our 17th cruise on RC. All our other cruises were wonderful. This one was NOT! I don't know if RC uses the repositioning cruises as training schools for their staff, but it sure seemed that way. First the good. Ports of call and all land tours were great.Tour guides were knowledgable and entertaining. Entertainment on the ship was very good. Cruise director "Chloe" was charming and ...

When I purchase a transatlantic cruise, I expect the food to be above average. We are not the college/Caribbean crowd that gets drunk and parties on a 4 night cruise out of Miami, the demographics on board are more affluent. I had a wonderful cruise on Royal back in 97 and had no problem booking them this time expecting the same. In the years between 97 and 2015, I had been over on Holland ...

I rarely bother to write reviews, but I felt that his one had to be done. We boarded in Harwich for a Baltic cruise, and then stayed on board for the TransAtlantic cruise to Boston. I combined my thoughts on this cruise with the cruise taken just before it. It was a back-to-back. Generally, individuals working on the ship were very nice and gave good service. Gerald, our room steward, and ...

Great cities, disappointing cruise

Crew was outstanding in servicing our family during meal times. They made this cruise less disappointing to us. The itinerary is perfect, great selection of cities with good range of excursions and tour options. Royal Tots was ok. Our room was not properly cleaned, esp. the balcony (there were slippers, pills from previous guests underneath the bed and plates from breakfast were left in the ...

Not up to RCL standards

The Brilliance of the Seas cruise to the Norwegian fjords and Iceland was far below what we have come to expect and appreciate from RCL. The ship looks "tired" and well worn, with very dirty areas seen as the glass elevators traveled up...the spaces between elevator and outside wall were, in places, filthy, making one wonder what the level of cleanliness throughout the ship was! The stop in ...

The theme of this cruise is how to extract the most money from our passengers. We have been on number of cruises . This was by far the worst. Dinning room menue is trimmed down to a bare bone selection so as to force you to go to the specialty restaurant. Wine is available on certain evenings at a 25 percent discount. I was charged full price. I was told that I had to ask for the discount. This ...

If this had been my first cruise it would have been my last, it will be the last I do with Royal Caribbean. They need a lesson from P&O. There was nothing to do on sea days that was not at extra cost (even then not everyone wants to play Bingo or gamble in the casino) They had 40 sunbeds in the Solarium for 2500 people so you had to be on them by 7.00am. It was too cold to go outside. They said ...

OK Cruise - Unhappy Customer

The dining experience was fair. The servers in the dining rooms were great. They were very helpful about the next days ports and any other information we wanted to discuss. I would say the food wasnt the best - I expected better. There certainly was a lot of food but the quality wasnt very good. We ate at both of specialty restuarants; Gioviani's and Chops. Both of them were good, we liked ...

The port of Harwick England which is a two hour drive from Heathrow air port was an expense in time and money you have got to consider. Personally I thought it was a bit to much. The embarkation was extremely fast and efficient, our cabin was a nice balcony on the ninth deck, which gave us a nice view every morning. Our shore excursions varied as some countries were difficult to figure out what ...

Horrible Cabin Issues

This was only our second cruise. We cruised with RCCL on Mariner of the Seas and had a lovely experience (except for horrible buffet food). After this cruise on Vision of the Seas, I swore I'd never cruise again. Nonetheless, I have booked a cruise with HAL to Alaska in a few months and I hope to have a better experience. The dining room food and service was excellent. The little are near the ...
