Royal Caribbean Tampa Cruise Reviews

We have cruised for 20 years. We have cruised many times with Royal Carribean. We chose Brillance of the Seas for ports of call Cozumel and Caymans and a smaller ship. Our experience on this ship was mixed. The embarkation went fast and smooth. The food was really good. We were disappointed on anytime dining. We had a reservation and still had to wait in one line with others without ...

I chose this cruise because it was leaving from Tampa and because of itinerary. Serenade of the Seas needs to be dry docked and refurbished! The staterooms are OLD and worn out. No shampoo or bars of soap for shower. Only liquid soap dispenser marked Shampoo AND Body Wash No Wifi except for the Royal Caribbean app and even that was inconsistent. Internet was available for $24.99 a ...

We would recommend you not book Room 8600 on the RC Serenade. Balcony is 1/2 normal size. Room is on a curve. Guest pays normal price but gets a balcony that is not usable for two adults. *Food- A+ We found the meals to be excellent especially the chef recomended each night. *Service- A+ Our dining staff were great. We did not have any problems with them. Buffet was great for lunch. ...

We joined a group of friends booked on this cruise. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. The managers checked in often to make sure everything was to our liking. Thanks to Mark and Justin at Minstrel for great dinner service and making it fun. Kudos to the chefs on taste, presentation and choices. Options for vegan and sugar free were offered. The taste of Royal was awesome. We were ...

I chose this cruise because it was a unique itinerary going to Bimini and Grand Bahama and I love the Radiance Class and haven't sailed yet on Serenade. The crew were all very friendly and the ship had a new feel to it, very clean. Windjammer was better than expected, selection vast and prepared with tasty flavor. Dining room food and service were perfect, everything was served promptly and ...

Great parking through 241 by Global Airport Parking right across the street from the cruise terminal. Short wait outside terminal, once inside we walked right on the ship within 10 minutes. The ship is well maintained throughout. The crew were phenomenal, motivated, friendly, helpful. I was very impressed with the food in all dining areas. Food seemed extra good for example the bran muffins were ...

I chose this ship and date because it was convenient to my home in Tampa and my fiance, traveling in from Ireland, only had nine days of holiday available. My only other choice was Carnival which has never appealed to me. Most of my nine cruises have been on Holland America, which is my line of preference for mass market travel. We didn't spend much on this five nighter to Cozumel and Grand ...

Our honeymoon cruise was chosen, most of all, for the fine reputation of RCCL. We were surprised to find that too many experiences were annoying, disappointing and most of all, could have been corrected in real time but were not corrected at all. While we believe that cruising is a viable type of cost-controlled vavationing, we cannot see ourselves returning to RCCL given the many fine choices ...

My sister and her hubby had chosen this cruise over a year ago and we thought it would be fun to join them for the 10 days. Our mom had passed in November and this was a way of celebrating her life. She loved cruising and margaritas so we signed up for the trip. We left our east coast Florida home on the 17th and spent the night in Ybor city about 3 miles from the cruise terminal. We chose ...

We were very excited for a winter getaway to scuba dive in Grand Cayman and Cozumel and really looking forward to this trip. The food was very disappointing. Lemme say that I have pretty low standards and we usually eat something out of the freezer or a can for dinner. I eat mostly vegetarian and occasionally seafood. No meat, so limited options. The fish entree in the main dining room was served ...
