Royal Caribbean used to be a top cruise line...no longer...this cruise has been Carnivalised...no lobester night unless you pay extra...movies in your room? Only if you want to pay $13.00 a movie, not first run...Happy hour on drinks? On a twelve day cruise... two hapy hours for only two hours and only on two kinds if drinks...too bad... the staff was great but the lines seem to go out of the way ...
We cruised the baltic sea in July. The ship was a little disappointing in regards to the food availability, especially from 20 yrs ago. First, no midnight buffet. Second, No food available after midnight - we would go to see a movie that finished at midnight, but unable to get a snack after unless you wanted to pay room service. Third, the other food service areas did not have a place just to ...
This was our first cruise with Royal Caribbean, and probably our last. We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. We really enjoyed our time off the ship. Our excursions were professional, very educational, and well worth the money; we really had a great time. The ship was a different story. The ship was tired and warn- out. We stayed on deck two and had to deal with a sewer smell in the ...
I LOVED this ship and was SO looking forward to going on her again. Imagine my disappointment to see all the negative changes. It made me very sad.
Fewer common areas, replaced with many new cabins. Sadly, the infrastructure could not accommodate the added passengers and service was severely sacrificed. I more often than not had to clear a table for myself in the Windjammer. Many more ...
Fifth and last time probably on this ship. Far to crowded and a very rough element now. A lot of people were evicted from the shp for bad behaviour, mainly brawling. MDR long wait for food and quality when it finally arrived not good. Far to much asking us to applaud when they parade and tell us how wonderful they are. This is probably aimed at getting us to tip their poorly paid staff who are ...
This was our first cruise so did not know what to expect. The boarding was brilliant as my wife has mobility problems and we were fast tracked on the ship in 20 minutes from parking the car.
However once we were on sea days we soon got to see how overcrowded the ship was. only one evening were we able to get a seat in any of the bars and ended up taking drinks to our room, so lucky we had a ...
We chose this ship as we enjoyed it so much last June. If the booking agent on ship had told us of the changes to accommodate more of families and teenagers we would not have booked.
Not only has the ship got lots of entertainment for families but have increased the number of cabins but not increased the seating in the bars or general seating areas. In fact one night we wanted a drink before ...
I have just returned from a 12 night Northern Europe cruise with my partner and was rather disappointed by the whole experience. The Navigator of the Seas was a very dated and poorly designed ship, and overall the cruise offered little value for money.
Cabin
We booked an outside cabin (standard with a window). We weren’t expecting to be in the lap of luxury but in all honesty we felt like we ...
Chose this cruise for the itinerary and we weren't let down by this - a good selection of ports, places we wouldn't necessarily want to spend a lot of time in but wanted to visit.
Boarded at Southampton and cannot fault the efficiency of the staff and check in process.
Once on board we were very disappointed with the decor of the ship and the so called 'state room' which looked more like a ...
The ship was not well maintained. One of the elevators never worked. The food at the Windjammer was poor and the place not well cleaned. Very poor room service, one day we never received the breakfast we ordered, when called to ask why they said that they were very busy with too many orders, we had to leave the ship on a tour without breakfast. I have always cruised with Royal Caribbean but after ...
