My first crossing

Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Explorer of the Seas

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

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 ...

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

Lots of odd things brought this cruise down starting with the rather strange layout of the ship, the change to main dining times with both being brought forward 30 minutes, the very noisy main dining rooms thanks to the DD layout and of course the redirection of the ship due to hurricane Tammy. Boarding at Southampton was efficient as ever, Vigo was wet, I stayed on in Lisbon, the Canary Island ...

6-10 Cruises • Age 30s

I had seen a lot of reviews saying that Explorer of the Seas was outdated and needing of a refresh.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 ...

Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Jewel of the Seas

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary that included Iceland and Greenland, and the price (we travel a lot, before the Jewel, we spent weeks in Europe and since this cruise we spent 6 weeks in Singapore, Hong Kong, and China), since we have to watch the budget. We enjoyed the itinerary, and overall the experience was good. The crew worked hard and the service was good. We loved ...

Great itinerary, mediocre ship

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

The itinerary of this cruise through the Greek islands was great! A stop almost every day. One day at sea towards Venice Italy. However the ship itself needs updating. Our room was in need of a bit of repair. The food was mediocre at best. The activities on board were mid as well. The cruise left us at a port that did not have transport options (Ravenna, Italy) and we need to pay for a 3 ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

First ever cruise. We chose this cruise for its ports of call. Very impressed with the overall experience. Very good food, very clean ship. Staff was very accommodating to our requests, letting us pick our dining time and ensuring we had wine glasses in our room every night. We had a private excursion in Santorini at 830am and were told to wait in the conference room with others and we were ...

Older ship but the pros outweigh the cons for us.

6-10 Cruises • Age 40s

Just returned from a 12 night British Isles trip and wanted to share my perspective in case it helps other travelers like me. I'm an intermediate cruiser- have done about 7 total, this was my 2nd with RC after sailing on Harmony when it was brand new about 5 years ago. I traveled with my spouse and 3 kids (age 5-12), and 6 additional adult family members. I'll always maintain that cruising is the ...

Great Experience on this Older Ship

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We had a fantastic time on this cruise that left out of Ravenna, Italy. I was surprised with the Interiors of this older ship. Everything had been updated. I rarely could tell the age of the ship. The Cabin was likewise updated. Food was fantastic, the Crew Members were great, they all seemed genuinely engaged with all the passengers. Only issues that I noticed were 2 of the Hot Tubs by ...

The best way to see Norway

6-10 Cruises • Age 50s

We enjoy cruising and although we have tried a couple different lines, we always return to Royal. Like all RCI ships, Anthem is stunning in many ways, but for us it is about the great service, excellent food, and wonderful shows, and ultimately the itinerary. We wanted to see Norway, so this was perfect for us. Southampton proved to be a good homeport. Our trip from Heathrow to the terminal was ...

Family selected this since there was a sale last summer on this particular cruise. Six adults and four kids. Over 25 years ago, Royal Caribbean (RC)was our first cruise. We were hooked ....the food, entertainment, bars, etc. were excellent. Since then we have cruised on 10+ occasions, on a variety of cruise lines in addition to RC. RC has evidently changed their business model and is ...
