My Worst Vacation Ever. I'll Never Cruise Again

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

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

Here's my review of Quantum of the Seas almost exactly as it was submitted to Royal Caribbean when they solicited on their post-trip survey. Where do I start? 1. Parking prior to boarding. Why is it necessary to have people wait 40 minutes in a single file line of cars to get into the long-term parking lot? Why was only one lane open for all cars when Royal Caribbean knew it was expecting ...

Ship was almost brand new when I sailed with a friend who had never cruised before. I have to say, the ship was difficult to get around on, lots of dead-ends and limited outside deck space. Some of the cool tekkie things weren't working, like the robotic bar tenders. Art work was really strange (a more sophisticated person would say avant garde) like the plates with the blinking eyeballs near one ...

We were on one of the early Quantum cruises. We left Cape Liberty. Nice big terminal. First go through the "TSA" scanning equipment -- several stations. We were suite guests, but there were no special lines for such people. But no matter. There wasn't that much of a line. Looked for the so-glad-you're-cruising-with-us smiles, etc. Don't remember any. I will say the senior citizen helpers wearing ...

Quantum of the Seas was a Disappointment

We have done many maiden/ inaugural voyages with RCCL. We expected some glitches, but all turned out well in the past. Booked Quantum of the Seas along with our daughter's family approximately a year and a half ago. Prior to the sailing date whenever it was time to reserve something for the cruise I was unsuccessful doing it on line and with a RCCL representative on the phone. The common answer ...

Having cruised for 35 years on a multitude of ships, I have seen the decline of the cruise experience first-hand. From the cheapening of the menu offerings to the boilerplate entertainment of second-rate comedians and under-rehearsed "broadway" revue type shows, to fewer and cheaper on-board activities and the relentless attempts to shake as much profit from such things as "premium" restaurants to ...

Oasis of the Seas is an amazing ship. It is massive with a 6,000 guest capacity. It offers Central Park on deck 8 complete with trees, plants, flowers. A boardwalk on decks 5/6 with a carousal, diner, candy store, etc. You can learn to surf on board, play basketball, rock climb or try out the zip line. Deck 5 with all its shops, eateries, etc. is gorgeous and comes with a Rolls Royce for photo ...

This Review was mainly written for some cruise friends, but you might find a few helpful notes in it: DAY ONE: KILLER SAUSAGES & FUH-GEDDA-BOUT-IT From CNY we started by doing most of the 5 hour drive the day before, stayed about one hour from the port (much cheaper than a night in NYC). Our first day got off to a weird start. Eating breakfast at our hotel, I cut into a large breakfast sausage ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

My husband and I traveled with other family members on the Explorer out of Bayonne N.J. We drove from Massachusetts, and joined up with them in Connecticut for the rest of the trip. Driving down on Saturday morning wasn't bad we were there in about 5 hours total. The Port of Bayonne is difficult at best. After parking at Premier Parking, we had a 45 minute wait for a shuttle to the pier. We ...

My wife and I booked this cruise as our early 25th anniversary celebration. We had never been to Bermuda, and the opportunity to spend a couple of nights in New York City was a plus. This was our second cruise on the Explorer, the last having been way back in 2004. That was our first week long cruise and really cemented our love of cruising. Coming from Florida, you can imagine the looks we got ...
