Royal Caribbean Western Caribbean Cruise Reviews

After exclusively sailing on Oasis Class ships for the previous 10 years I was concerned about going down to Freedom Class with a sailing on Independence. A quick look at the recent reviews here further confirmed that this would be the worst vacation of my life… I’m very pleased to say that we thoroughly enjoyed our cruise and would absolutely sail on the Independence of the Seas again! Perhaps ...

Ship was the best in the RC fleet we had been on and the Oasis class still seems to get bigger and better, it has its issues around which ports it can get in, and now those are becoming stale as they do third/forth time, I won’t mention CoCocay, alas I’m sure we will be seeing more of the private island concept inflict itself on us in years to come, tragic but understandable, the company will save ...

I just finished a week on Harmony of the Seas from March 24-31 and wanted to give my thoughts on a few things. I used plenty of reviews in my planning process, so wanted to return the favor. For reference, this was probably my 5th or 6th cruise. First one on Royal Caribbean and first once since Covid. This was a Spring Break cruise, and even though we are toward the end of Spring Break ...

UGLY 1. Flatware not used by a previous diner such as your coffee spoon was wiped with a napkin and placed back on the table for the next dinner, Dinning Room 3. 2. Multiple room complaints of stools including ours not flushing (no activation when pushing button) and common area stools clogged as ship's vacuum system is not strong enough to handle the ship's 3000 toilets. BAD 1. ...

App was slow, Didn't hide events that were full and often hid prices till you got to the event. Food quality was inconsistent, some days it would be amazing, others bad. They nickel and dime you as well as having every event on ship consistently overpriced. An extreme lack of vegan food, which i was assured there would be plenty of options for. Would have also appreciated if the game systems they ...

My husband and I cruised with our High School senior and her friend this past week. This was spring break and the ship was full. We sailed on AOS last June and it was not as crowded and did not have as many children. My husband and I had a balcony cabin and the girls were across from us in an interior promenade room. Because they were 17, we had to book one parent in each room and then we simply ...

This was my first cruise. I had a seasoned cruiser leading the way. She made all the reservations for our group of 7 girls. The food was good. Not blow your socks off amazing, but good. We ate dinner in the dining room each night and the Windjammer buffet every day for lunch. The buffet is huge, too many choices. So it's great for picky eaters. I thought the buffet food was good. My ONLY 2 issues ...

Our recent cruise was a delightful surprise for my family and I, especially considering the negative reviews we had read prior. Despite initial concerns about poor food quality, rude staff, and other issues, we found our experience to be quite the opposite. Harmony exceeded our expectations with its excellent maintenance and upkeep. Food across all dining options surpassed our expectations, with ...

I went on this cruise with my friends and family, and we all had a great time. Because of the big size, it was a little hard to navigate, and The waters were a bit shakey. Other than that, it was mostly smooth sailing. We had a great time, but we did have to miss a stop due to safety issues in Haiti. Perfect day in Coco cay by Royal Caribbean was one of the nicest private islands I've ever been ...

Was the 1ST cruise I have ever been on but the experience was amazing. My wife gave me a heads up on what to expect - but the actual experience exceeded what I had in mind. The Ship: The ship itself is an older 2003 (not sure if that's considered older by experienced crusiers). Either way, the ship was very nice and clean throughout. Working as an area custodial supervisor I can tell the ...
