Background: We had not sailed on Royal Caribbean since before the Covid shutdown (2019) and still had a NextCruise from a cancelled Majesty OTS sailing in 2021. So after a pause in sailing with RCCL, we booked this quick cruise from our homeport here in FL.
We arrived at the pier at our prescribed boarding time and were checked in without any problem but with no recognition of being Crown & ...
I booked this cruise with my 23 year old daughter for a mother/daughter trip. We booked Serenade due to the itinerary meeting our needs. We previously sailed RC as a family on the Oasis and Freedom. We loved both of the previous cruises. I was a bit hesitant booking such a small ship but figured it was only 5 days and would be great regardless of size.
Embarkation was wonderful. We were on the ...
Just got back from Rome after a wonderful cruise onboard Serenade.
Yes, this is my first Review on cc, and No English is not my first language hope u all understand :-)
We were travelling as a Group of four adults (28-32 years old) and my 2,5 year old son.
The reason for picking this cruise was the convenience of a 3h non stop flight, travelling with Little ones can be hard sometimes!
We had a ...
Our trip started by staying at the Silken Diagonal for two days in Barcelona, Spain prior to our departure. The hotel is very modern but small it's only made for two people so we had to have two rooms for a party of four. It was very central because you had the subway near and the Red Big Bus stops across the street too. The morning breakfast is included and it was buffet style. This reservation ...
This was my 4th cruise overall (1st cruise with RCCL), and my husband's 1st cruise ever. We are both in our early 40's, and selected this itinerary for our honeymoon. Our wedding took place on a Saturday afternoon, we flew from MSP to BCN on Sunday morning, and arrived in BCN early Monday (ship sailed at 4pm, I believe).
Initially, we had wanted to pre-register for RCCL’s "Barcelona Highlights" ...
We have just completed a 11 night cruise on the Serenade of the Seas, departure port Barcelona on the 12th May 2014.
Embarkation/Disembarkation. We made our own way to the port and made use of the Port shuttle bus. Check in was quick and easy, same with disembarkation.
State Room/Service. Room was very clean and spacious and our stateroom attendant George was friendly and attentive. All other ...
We are frequent cruisers on Royal Caribbean, and several years ago we did a 7 night Med Cruise with my father. After getting a taste of Italy and Spain (not so much France!) I have been wanting to go back. We booked this cruise shortly after it was released, and managed to get a great deal on an Aft Balcony. We used FF miles for the airfare and cashed in RCCI points for OBC, so we were already ...
My wife and I returned last week from a 12 day cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Serenade of the Seas. The cruise began and ended in Barcelona, Spain with scheduled visits to Cannes, France; La Spezia (Florence/Pisa); Civitavecchia, Italy (Rome); Salerno, Italy; Ravenna, Italy; Venice, Italy; and Dubrovnik, Croatia. We did not visit Ravenna due to high winds and high seas. The Captain made a wise ...
My husband and I sailed on the Serenade of the Seas for our honeymoon. It was a fantastic trip and everything was excellent!
Embarkation/Disembarkation: We used Royal Caribbean's airport transfers between the pier and the airport and vice versa. The representative was easy to spot when we got out of customs in Barcelona and we got on the bus and to the pier with no problems. Check-in was quick. ...
This trip was my first time overseas, and I traveled with 3 other people. 3 of us stayed in a Jr. Suite, which was very comfortable. A very large closet, and full size bathtub, more than enough storage for 3 women! A wonderful balcony of the Starboard side with 4 chairs and a table, which we used everyday! The ship has recently been refurbished, and I found it to be quite nice. My one complaint ...
