Horrific

The cruise was chosen because of the varied ports,however,true to RC the ship was moored at the cheapest and usually the furthest away from the port itself.RC are lying when they state it is because of the ships size,whilst a factor,it is the cost which was the reason.The enrichment was pathetic,the chap who came to speak,couldn't even work the power point and simply bumbled on about his glory ...

Before we think about the negatives let us just recognise the superb itinerary and very smooth tendering for Villefranche. The weather was perfect. Many crew were exemplary. However, Royal Caribbean have descended into a parody of Travelodge at Sea. Our cabin was not the only one not prepared and where the lavatory failed to flush on eleven days of the fourteen. Water to the washbasins,both ...

This was our first Cruise and we had been advised by friends this would be a good place to start. How wrong were they ! Boarding at Southampton was not a problem to be fair shame it took a downward spiral ! First impressions of the ship were somewhat marred by a musty smell in the corridor leading to our stateroom on deck 8 (room 8304) must add this smell was not to be noticed elsewhere and ...

This was our first cruise and I will never take another. I hated it; I'm not in their target demographic. And to think that I was worried that it may be too posh (I imagined men in cravats saying "Don't you know?" at the end of every sentence and women saying "Simply darling...") - I needn't have worried - it's quite the opposite. I didn't believe the stats that 25% of the population was obese ...

I have no idea where to start , this was our first and definitely our last RCC ...embarkment took hours , stood in hot lines for hours ,then as soon as on the ship ,the emergency training , again stood on deck in crowds , could not see a thing , or how to put on a life jacket. The ship was run down , lots of damp patches , nasty smells and dirty areas. The food most of the time luke warm , I ...

Very little range of fresh vegetables, hot food was cold, never saw anyone ever check temperature of food. Cabin was not hoovered for whole trip. Marks on mirror left for 4 days. Dirty linen bags left in corridors for up to 3 hours.NO special access department. Always long queues at guest services and shore excursions. Booked a shore excursion to Hermitage Musuem, st Petersburg which was a ...

We have cruised with RCI twice, in the past two years. We took the 12 day Baltic Cruise in June, on the Navigator of the Sea. The ship is huge with too many people. Lines for everything, including customer service where you could easily wait two hours in line, for a simple question. Customer service was just abysmal. The ship was 5 and a half hours late getting back to Southampton and most guests ...

The cruise started well but then deteriated after some bad weather that caused an alteration in the cruise. The staff seemed to fall apart as they couldn't seem to handle the issues. They didn't have enough staff to handle the huge amount of issues customers were encountering. They either didn't communicate well to passengers about the issues or gave misinformation. Many passengers were ...

We sailed on Navigator Of The Seas to the Baltics. The ship itself is adequate and well laid out. The touch screen devices around the ship however were useful for finding our way around. We did find it difficult to find anywhere quiet to sit and read as all the lounges had music playing in them at all times of the day and night. The 'library' was more of a games area and certainly not a ...

So disappointed with this cruise, after booking months in advance because we wanted to go to Sardinia and Corsica the itinerary was change apparently because the Sardinia port was under construction had had not been finished and the Corsica port was to small for the ship to dock so why was it added to the itinerary in the first place? Boarding the ship was like always quick and easy with ...
