Royal Caribbean Tampa Cruise Reviews

We really enjoyed our cruise. Day one was little choppy for the first 24 hrs. Island visits were great. Coco Cay was great day. A variety of things to do for old and young. We had not been to Nasau in 30 yrs. We still could have done without it though it was great to see the improvements. It was a great visit and found the Security was very helpful in assuring that we did not waste time in that ...

We choose this cruise for the destinations but where very happy with our experience on the boat. We bought the dinning package but wished we had not. You would think that a bone in ribye at a specialty restaurant on a cruise would be excellent. It is comparable to waffle house steak. Izumi was the only food we had on the boat that I would eat again. They really need to make improvements to the app ...

We were in room (Grand Suite) sailing out of Tampa to CocoCay and Nassau. We sailed in a Grand Suite on Freedom of the Seas out of Miami in Feb. this year and found the two experiences to be vastly different. Some info that's not really pro or con but just to keep in mind: The Serenade ship is smaller and therefore feels much more crowded. We could hear the music from the Centrum and pool deck in ...

The Grandeur of the Seas is by far the worse ship I’ve ever been on by FAR. It was rumored that this ship was going to be retired a few years ago and it should have. I am not sure what sparked the decision to keep it floating and running trips—especially a 7 day cruise, but that was by far the worse decision you could’ve made from a customer perspective. The entire ship is old and raggedy, ...

It has been 10+ years since I been to CoCo Cay as a teenager with the family, It is Amazing what Royal Caribbean has done to the island. As for the ship itself, pretty nice one to catch out of Tampa, it has a little something for everyone for the most part. Pros + Chops Grill was great, best steak I have had in a long time. + The pizza from the Windjammer was pretty good for buffet ...

Having sailed on Serenade of the Seas in February and having such a great time we decided to return to Serenade in May for my Birthday. We enjoyed this cruise even more than the one in February, the ship just keeps getting better and better! They have been painting exterior decks, installing new aft awnings, varnishing deck rails, honestly, the ship looks brand new. Ships interior is spotless, ...

This was my 1st cruise with them and boy did it leave an impression. The live music played on the pool deck was so bad. The 2 gentlemen tried their best but were off the mark with the covers they were playing. Then there was the men's restroom outside the Reflections dining room that had "fluid" overflowing from it into the hallway leading to the Reflections dining room. Despite this, the ...

My first RCI Cruise was on the Grandeur of the Seas, After being on the Mariner(11/22) Wonder (3/23)I decided to go small & go back to one of my favorite ships. The service was excellent both in the Windjammer & MDR Deck 5. Entertainment was good & viewed 2 movies 80 for Brady & my name is OTTO. The ship while older still shines & it is refreshing to have a smaller ship to Navigate ...

We have been on 10+ cruises with Royal Caribbean. We're experienced salty and seasoned cruisers. In the last year we've been on the largest ship RCL has the Wonder of the Seas to the smallest ship Grandeur of the Seas. The Brilliance of the Seas falls right in the middle of the the two ships mentioned above. We really liked the ship! The ship is a little dated but it has good bones. It didn't ...

I was disappointed in the overall way that things have changed, not for the better, since my last cruise on Brilliance. Several things stood out and these are why I gave several lower grades. The food was not what I expected, especially in the Minstrel Dining Room. Portions of vegetables were very small in most cases (one piece of broccoli?). Cuts of meat were thin and tough. In general at the ...
