8 day cruise from Port Canaveral to southern Caribbean. Port Canaveral Terminal 5 was one of the easiest luggage drop off and park your car experiences we have ever had. We arrived by 11 and the parking garage was filling up. Easy walk to the terminal and easy check in. We were looking forward to this ship as we had been on this class previous (Explorer) and very much enjoyed it. Upon entering the ...
We chose this cruise because having been on Oasis Class ships three times in the past, we knew the features of the ship and had enjoyed it immensely in the past. We chose the first full week in November because we hopefully thought there would be less children as they should be in school. Boy were we wrong but first the positive aspects of the cruise.
Our cabin was balcony on deck 8. The ...
We recently sailed on Independence of the Seas. We are seasoned cruisers with 25 prior sailings, but this was our first with Royal Caribbean.
There were several highlights on this cruise including the fact that crew members that we encountered were friendly and helpful. The entertainment staff and headliners were very talented and fun, and one of the best things we experienced during this ...
Diamond Plus Crown & Anchor members: My wife & I gave the Wonder of the Seas another try after a disappointing experience last November out of Port Canaveral on its inaugural cruise. Embarkation was much better, but they did not care about your scheduled time and parking could be a problem if not there before noon. The cabin attendant did not do as good a job as we have experience in the past. ...
I recently took the ship’s September 25 four night sailing from Port Canaveral to Nassau and Perfect Day at Coco Cay. Overall, I had a nice time, but there were some challenges.
First the good.
Without doubt, Royal Caribbean’s biggest asset is its crew. With the exception of my room attendant (more on that later), every one of the staff was courteous, accommodating and couldn’t do enough to ...
We are diamond cruisers and we have always cruised on the newest ships. The Wonder is a beautiful ship but there were many things that needed to be changed.
Thumbs Up:
1. The cruise director, Ricky, has to be the best in the Royal fleet. We have seen him on other ships and he always great.
2. The show 'Voices' was a wonderful and unique experience. You will enjoy it.
3. The Izumi ...
We chose this cruise because we were docked in Bermuda for 2 nights. One of the best islands we've been to. This being our second cruise on this ship we knew what to expect and frankly nothing changed for the better. RC still nickles and dimes you but they deliver plenty to do and you always feel comfortable with the line and what your experience will be. Food was mostly good especially Chops. ...
My family and I went on Allure if the seas last year and it was amazing. We booked Wonder expecting a bit more being a newer ship but the disappointment was real. The food in the main dining room was bad, options we worse than the buffet. Lobster night had only 1 lobster tail with an option to pay an additional cost $16 and change. If you like your clothes pressed take your own iron because they ...
We chose this cruise because the size of the ship (thinking smooth sailing), but larger wasn’t smooth at all. This thing rocks, bangs and shutters worse than a dingy. I read that the solarium design has challenges for ship stability. Icon is being built with the same design. After having a wonderful time on the liberty, I was worried I pissed off the cruise gods on this boat. First, we couldn’t go ...
Celebrated 50th wedding anniversary with family members. We chose this sailing because of the dates even though it was quite expensive compared to other cruises we've been on. probably due to newness and size of ship. There were a total of 10 family members on this cruise. They were very accommodating in seating this large of a group.
The menu selections in the main dining room were not ...
