Unsatisfactory service

The customer service was not up to par. I had to wait many, many days to get my bedding changed. I went to eat at “The great Gatsby” I ordered well done beef. I received rare meat. My room attendant made “mini towel animals” with the previously used hand towels that I use on my face & placed them on the foot of my bed. The smell on the ship was very unpleasant at times. My family & I went to eat ...

The cruise was recommended by family. The countries of this cruise is where my family members live and it was the perfect choice to visit them. As for the service and condition of the ship Royal Caribbean, the vessel seem to be an older model. The smell of sewer in the living areas were unhealthy. Being in such closed spaces this can aid the spread of Covid and other respiratory conditions. The ...

I've been on about 6 or 7 cruises in my life and I've got to say this was the worst hands down. The staffing were rude and the food was sub-par. The air-conditioning didn't work half of the time and don't even think about taking a hot shower because then your cabin is going to feel like a sauna for the rest of the night. Then when the cruise was over the ship was not allowed to dock because of ...

I chose this cruise because it was leaving from Tampa and because of itinerary. Serenade of the Seas needs to be dry docked and refurbished! The staterooms are OLD and worn out. No shampoo or bars of soap for shower. Only liquid soap dispenser marked Shampoo AND Body Wash No Wifi except for the Royal Caribbean app and even that was inconsistent. Internet was available for $24.99 a ...

April 29th 2022 Adventure of the Seas was my first cruise on RCI (my husband has sailed on RCI before). One port- Panama-was cancelled so we were told that we could stay in another port later (Cartagena Columbia till 10pm). The service in the main dining room was excellent. The seating next to the buffet where dishes/dirty dishes and meal prep was not so nice. It was noted that the window seat ...

I've never been involved in cruise ship work nor management, but I have some experience in entertainment and hospitality, and a lot of ship operations experience. Based upon those and other experiences I think I know things that some people whose occupation is managing cruise ships don't realize. The income and lives of many people depend upon the continuity of cruise ship operations. If I ...

I'm loyal to Royal and wanted to do a Panama Canal cruise. I have been on about 40 cruises with Royal and this was by far the worst cruise I've been on. 1) Embarkation was delayed due to an unknown issue and the communication was non existent. The disembarkation from the ship was fine but waiting for an hour for our luggage to arrive at the airport was frustration 2) The ship is old but in ...

We have been cruising since the early 1990's and have cruised mainly with NCL and Carnival. We have been on 50 plus cruises. This is our second Royal Caribbean cruise; our first was on the Allure. Our last cruise was on the NCL Bliss in October 2018. Embarkation: We arrived at the Port of Los Angeles to find that there were two lines. Priority and everyone else. The lines were long and ...
