This was our 8th cruise on Royal Caribbean. we've been on the Oasis class at least 4 times and on the Quantum class 4 times. The quantum class is our favorite, and the Odyssey did not disappoint.
Embarkation: we signed up for the KEY program, which comes with free Wi-fi streaming for each guest who gets the key, and you can board early and there are a few benefits throughout the cruise (we ...
This was a great trip. The Jewel is one of the smaller ships but it was perfect for this intinerary because it was so port-heavy. I wouldn't reccomend getting the drink package on this one. It seems like a great idea at first but if you plan to leave the ship every day to visit the islands, it would be more economical to just buy your drinks individually.
We chose this cruise because we've ...
We chose this cruise because we like the Radiance class ships and for the port intensive itinerary. Here is a recap of our cruise and final thoughts after returning.

It's a good thing Royal is planning a new class of small ships as the Vision class is slowly wearing out.
In the meantime, the secret weapon of Royal was displayed on this voyage - Exceptional Service - at every venue, every staffer, from Windjammer to MDM to Centrum, to including Guest Services. All of the staff in the Windjammer have been converted from table cleaners to friendly hosts ...
We had an amazing time celebrating NY on the Oasis. We chose this cruise because we loved the idea of a longer cruise that included stops in Curaçao and Aruba which were new to us.
Cabin
Went with a balcony guarantee and got deck 6 forward near the Vitality Spa and gym. I was worried about movement but it was minimal and was a great cabin. Very quiet, great location only 1 deck up from the ...
We typically take a cruise once a year and almost always on Royal or Celebrity. This trip was over Christmas because our usual destination in Florida was still under repair after hurricane Ian. Royal delivered as usual. We were a large group of 11 and two guests were elderly, one in a wheelchair. The staff at departure was incredibly accommodating. They made sure everyone was aboard quickly and ...
Everything about this ship is perfection! The design layout, the amenities, shows, stateroom design, dining room, list goes on. The artwork is breathtaking and fun. The interactive staircase piano is beautiful and creative and fun for people of all ages! The adult solarium is absolutely stunning and next level artistry! The pool decks beautifully designed. The aqua show was interesting show theme ...
We were originally scheduled for February 2020 and again in 2021 but they were both cancelled due to COVID. Finally getting our itineraries together this time schedule worked perfectly. We enjoyed 99% of the trip. The staff was wonderful from customer service, room attendants, wait staff, spa personnel, and doctors all going out of their way to make it a joy. Great excursions and plenty to do ...
We've been a fan of Grandeur of the Seas for many years and chose this cruise for a return to one of our favorite ships and for its different itinerary. Even though Grandeur is scheduled for a dry dock late March 2024 this ship is in great condition. We were so happy with the ship we booked another cruise on her again also before dry dock. The things which impressed me the most with Grandeur is ...
