Royal Caribbean Port Canaveral (Orlando) Cruise Reviews

I just rejoined Cruise Critic after a long absence. My wife and I are taking about 2 cruises per month on Carnival and Royal. We live 30 min from Port Canaveral. The Allure is a beautiful ship with a great staff. Everyday, we were met with smiles whether it was the front desk, the casino, or the Foodjammer . We were greeted by name in some of the shops and the casino also. This was our Diamond+ ...

Many time cruiser but first on the Royal mega-size. Exceeded expectations, yes there are 6000 people but they're spread out and there are some nice places to hang out without crowds like the Central Park. Had five grandchildren along (ages 3 to 14) and they all found fun things to do. Coco Cay day was impacted by cold rain but I'm sure when the weather is nice it's even better. Liked the ...

Avoid*** Everything has dropped in quality since our cruise on the same ship, same itinerary in 2022. We later found out the trained staff was moved to Icon of the Seas, and Wonder has a new untrained staff. Same for all the bells , whistles, and budgets. It took over 45 minutes in a long line to get on the ship boarding at 12:00 pm, later on we found longer lines for elevators, bars, ...

We have been on over 20 cruises, and Allure of the Seas was wonderful. We found the employees to be super friendly, and also the food was very good. We enjoyed the variety of music and entertainment. Even without the shows, there was always something going on with contests, trivia, games, dance moves, multiple pools, and shopping. We booked four cabins in different areas, and they were all ...

Ship was the best in the RC fleet we had been on and the Oasis class still seems to get bigger and better, it has its issues around which ports it can get in, and now those are becoming stale as they do third/forth time, I won’t mention CoCocay, alas I’m sure we will be seeing more of the private island concept inflict itself on us in years to come, tragic but understandable, the company will save ...

Never experienced this kind of hospitality. Ever. All of the crew. Loved meeting every one of you! Very clean ship. Didn’t even see a cobweb. Statesman for my room was the best. He made my stay! Thank you sooooo much Elmer Fudd (really, that is his name)!!! You are amazing and we love you in Virginia! The most relaxed I have been in many years. Great room and slept like a baby. The only negative ...

Food was some of the best in over 25 cruises. Ships entertainment was a ten. All the shows of course had to be picked and reservation made in advance. Terminal was easy in and out. No complaints absolutely perfect highly recommended. Adult pools and places were so quiet and alot of variety of places to find to be alone especially if you like to sunbath and read. Best part was staffing was the most ...

I very much regret our latest cruise on Mariner of the Seas. We went during a busy time (spring break season), but the boat felt especially crowded. It was very much akin to how airlines started squeezing as much people in during the last decade or two- the cruise felt overbooked and there wasn't a single space, bar, or restaurant that wasn't jam packed or didn't have a line. In addition, the ...

Was the 1ST cruise I have ever been on but the experience was amazing. My wife gave me a heads up on what to expect - but the actual experience exceeded what I had in mind. The Ship: The ship itself is an older 2003 (not sure if that's considered older by experienced crusiers). Either way, the ship was very nice and clean throughout. Working as an area custodial supervisor I can tell the ...

The MDR service was good but the food was just not edible. The saving grace was the dessert. My mom ordered a NY steak strip medium, however it was more like a skirt steak and it was well done and tough. I ordered chicken on two nights and both nights the chicken texture and flavor was not good. Even for breakfast our toast was not toasted, it was still soft. My daughter ordered the free ...
