Royal Caribbean Tampa Cruise Reviews

Balcony room nice. Shower so small ,but made it work. Ship staff were awesome . Lack of fresh vegetables on menu was sad. When offered such as coleslaw or cucumber salad in main dining a tablespoon was served and usually hot and wilted and flavorless. Desserts were very sad . Whipped topping is not Mousse . Overall ship well maintained ,Captain praised staff and and rightly so. Good ...

We decided to do a quick holiday cruise after several years of not being able to. We found a good deal on the cruise itself with prepaid gratuities and some onboard credit as well. Captain Marek was still onboard for our sailing although I believe he was leaving after our cruise. He is definitely one of the nicest and most enjoyable Captains in the Royal Caribbean fleet. Although I saw reviews ...

I’ve been driving to Port Canaveral for cruises for the past two years and was glad to find a Royal Caribbean ship from Tampa, where I live! Embarking was easy. Disembarking was difficult and took over an hour to get off the ship once in line. Because of Hurricane Tammy, we were unable to go to Nassau and CocoCay. We went to Cozumel instead. For families, this was a big disappointment. The ...

Small, very clean, comfortable ship, you feel connected to the ocean. Weekend, value-priced cruise attracted all types. Musicians were outstanding. Food quality has declined since January when I sailed this ship, going to the main dining room has lost its excitement. Service and attitude were very good. Suite benefits were very helpful. The lounge itself is a plush escape and ...

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 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 ...

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 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 ...

Wanted a Holiday sailing out of Tampa this fit the criteria. This being an older ship I was very surprised and happy at her lovely spaces. The crew were the stand out stars, except for guest relations go figure. We would sail her again tomorrow if we could. We were in a suite and the Suite concierge Christian Dellosa had elevated attention to detail. The lively Pinnacles shared our lounge and ...
