The ship was really old and our inside cabin on deck 3 was full of mold in the bathroom. The interior was from the 80’s and looked really dull.
The service was great though and the restaurants was really nice with awesome service from the waiters. The Theater was also ok and provided various of artists, real proffesional ones.
The solarium was humid but not that warm at all, which was a ...
We decided on this cruise as it was sailing to the Canary Islands from the UK. With it being just an hour flight to London for us and a short enough train journey, it was a good option at this time of year.
After seamlessly boarding the ship, we were pleased with the ship overall. Nice public areas and to a high clean standard also.
We checked into our cabin and liked the decor and layout. ...
Cleaning of rooms only once a day.
You can choose either in the morning or in the evening.
Very poor desserts, both in the buffet and in the restaurant on the 3rd floor.
We tried breakfast at the restaurant on the 4th floor. We won't do it anymore.
There was a very small selection of food.
Price of drinks includes service charge.
The quality of the food, not like in the past. At ...
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 & ...
We have been on at least four cruises with Royal and we enjoyed the cruise to Europe last year that we took with our daughter and two teenage grandsons. The cruise was a nice experience for them with all the various activities aboard that they took advantage of along with friends that they met. They took private excursions along with other friends. My husband and I took excursions with Royal and ...
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 ...
First thing to say is we have been taking cruises for over 25 years and have sailed on Holland America, Oceania, Celebrity and Royal Caribbean. Chose this cruise as it sailed from Southampton and went to stops we had not tried before.
Embarkation and debarkation was very quick and efficient and that was where it stops.
The ship always felt crowded and there were never enough sun beds on deck ...
I have been on over 20 cruises with RCCL, I was always a fan of this cruise line but unfortunately no longer.
Pros - Excellent entertainment, the Ice shows and water shows are spectacular.
Embarkation/ Disembarkation good.
Cons - CABINS now only serviced once a day ( apparently new procedure introduced March 2023)
No paper information in cabin all now on ...
We chose this cruise because we liked the itinerary and have enjoyed cruising with RC in the past.
We ate in the dining room for nearly all breakfast and evening meals, with the exception of one speciality dinner at Wunderland. Breakfast was exceedingly slow. It took a very long time for a server to come to our table and take our order. Once we ordered, the meal was delivered in average ...
Crew A+ Waitstaff and housekeeping steward…. Food mediocre, chops grill steak inferior filet mignon cut and sides came out cold. Windjammer worst buffet experience, food and presentation, main dining room waitstaff great….food menu disappointing and mediocre. Solarium great at night, chaotic for breakfast and food selection much like a school cafeteria. Future cruise department was a ...
