Royal Caribbean Cruise Reviews for Romantic to Italy

After more than 50 cruises (even because I am a retired ship auditor), this was my first crossing, which we decided to take because my son-in-law is one of the ship's officers and my daughter and grandson were together on this trip. We boarded the ship at Rome-Civitavecchia and disembarked at Miami 13 days later. I've been on board this ship many times for shipboard audits and I know well ...

We wanted to experience a few days in Rome before boarding the ship for our trip back to Miami. Ezplorer is one of our favorite ships. Perfect size and great service. Our favorite cruise director, Hello Clo and our favorite head waiter, Gianni were there to greet us when we boarded. We took early dining and had the best waiter and assistant waiter. Artha and Ayu--married from Bali. The lecture ...

I was a bit uncertain about this ship. It is a smaller older ship. This was also our first time taking a European cruise. Let me tell you how fantastic this cruise was. The ship is well maintained and very comfortable. The service was outstanding. The food in the main dining room as well as the Windjammer buffet was plentiful and delicious. The entertainment was top notch. There is actually a ...

Pros: Loved the ports - beware though tendering at Zakynthos; unless you had a ship tour booked you could wait 3 hours plus to get off (we gave up) But the ships tours WERE very good and would recommend. I had the “key” package and loved the little perks (great WiFi!) Food - excellent food in MDR and service (buffet not so good - food often tepid and dining area itself is dismal ...

Flew to Athens, Greece. Spent 3 nights sight seeing. Boarded the ship. Embarkment was easy and quick. Had a great lunch in the Windjammer buffet. Food choices were plentiful and delicious. Cabins were ready at 1pm. Luggage arrived between 2-4pm. We were in an outside cabin with a large window. Cabin was very comfortable and steward ( Henrik) was friendly and efficient. Main dining room ...

I have been on the Empress, Freedom, Enchantment with upcoming cruises on Celebrity Ascent and Radiance. Enchantment has been my least favorite. I will say that the service was good. Drinks were good as well as the ports. This cruise was more about the itinerary than the ship. I would never recommend this ship to just be on the ship. Issues Cabins. Very dated. We were in a Junior Suite. ...

I had seen a lot of reviews saying that Explorer of the Seas was outdated and needing of a refresh. However, we were overall very impressed with the ship as a whole. There were some scuffs and wind/sun damage outside, but that is to be expected. That never makes/breaks our cruise experience. We had an amazing experience sailing on the Explorer of the Seas to Greece and Croatia! We had an inside ...

We were very impressed with this older ship, despite the fact that it could do with some further updating and is a little tired looking. It is a good sized ship, with lots of space and good public places. The itinerary in the Greek islands was great, and the ship’s tours we did in Kotor, Corfu and Argostoli were all very good. Our balcony cabin was spacious and kept very clean by our cabin ...

Unlike other reviews the staff is very friendly and helpful. We (6 persons) have not once met or encountered an unfriendly staff member. Service at the main dining hall is excellent, personal and friendly. Our waiters Iputu and Kadek were very nice. Yes, the ship is somewhat dated and it shows, but for us nowhere near what others have reviewed. Rooms were clean (other than the occasional ...

There is for breakfast and lunch massive queues, as Windjammer is too small for capacity of the ship. Apparently capacity of the passangers is 4200, Windjammer can hold I think roughly 1000.I stayed hungry or eating any food which I dislike as I couldn't get trough the counter l... Booked suites which is basically slightly large than balcony, not even sofa bed, only old dirty sofa. Ship is old ...
