Royal Caribbean Southampton Cruise Reviews

I'll start with the positives, because there aren't many: + The cabin was nice (though it should be for the price) + The shower worked well + Good for teenagers - plenty of activities for them, kid's pool is open til 10pm and they'll love all the frozen pizza (which is all you'll be able to get after 8.30pm). On to the negatives: - Food. This was absolutely my biggest issue. The ...

We chose this cruise as it was in the UK half term (hence the title of the review). We travelled expecting to have to queue, not to get to do all the things we wanted to and for their to be a LOT of families with kids on board. This trip was done on a tight budget as we/the kids have lots of other travel this year - we didn't take drink or wifi packages or book ship tours, making the most of the ...

Boat still in good condition, cabin was nice. MDR food was variable. Desserts on the whole were ok but the starters and main were usually luke warm when they arrived. Food was dry, not enough sauce or gravy so had to ask for extra. Lots of items removed from the menu, ie cheese and biscuits, melon medley. Waiter was friendly enough but had little personality, assistant waiter was great. ...

DD and I enjoyed a wonderful round trip cruise to the lovely and breathtaking fjords of Norway. Our cruise took place in May at the beginning of the season, so we also were able to get a great price, and since I booked onboard during a previous cruise, I also got an incentive and help in choosing a cabin that turned out to be throughly enjoyable as well as a good value. The Ship I was ...

First cruise since 2019 and we went in with realistic expectations. Long time Celebrity cruisers, we liked Royal’s price point for a first sailing out of Southampton. We chose a guaranteed inside cabin as we were unsure of how much we would use the balcony on a cold weather cruise. Embarkation was efficient as was the parking at ABP. We walked steps to the ship and were onboard by 1130 with ...

First time cruiser so I went in not knowing what to expect/low expectations but boy did it go high and beyond. I met amazing people both staff and fellow cruisers and frankly, I had the best holiday since a long while. We had a room with a balcony which I loved waking up to a different view every morning. On ship, I spent most of my time attending the free events such as shows, promotional events, ...

Birthday treat for my grandsons aged 10 & 3 The corridor’s on the ship are wide and spacious, not like other cruise ship where they are narrow difficult for pushchairs/wheelchairs Amazing ship with plenty to do for the older children but be prepared to queue Plenty of swimming pools life guards are amazing Food was good plenty of choice, beware Johnny R u have to pay We only used ...

I am a regular cruiser (Diamond RCL, Platinum Cunard, Elite Celebrity) but this was my first 2 night/3 day cruise, and first time on Anthem of the Seas. This had much more of a "booze cruise" atmosphere and demographic than a longer cruise. There were lots of hen parties, birthday celebrations and children. I had a single balcony stateroom on deck 6 which was perfectly adequate for the two nights ...

This cruise was actually chosen and booked by my wife and was part of a package which included 12 nights on board followed by 3 nights in a Room Only hotel and flights back to the UK. This is our second cruise this year and fourth since the re-start after covid and hopefully the last where we need a test. Given that we would be boarding on a Monday and needed a test we travelled down from ...

Could have added an extra port or two . We had one day at sea between both Halifax and Boston and Boston and Newark when it's only 8 hours direct. Could have added Lisbon or Vigo. Entertainment not that great, they spent $6 million on the two 70 theatre rotating tv screens when they could have made the dance floor twice as big. The Esplanade poor set of shops mainly jewelry and watches. No ...
