The itinerary of this cruise through the Greek islands was great! A stop almost every day. One day at sea towards Venice Italy. However the ship itself needs updating. Our room was in need of a bit of repair. The food was mediocre at best. The activities on board were mid as well. The cruise left us at a port that did not have transport options (Ravenna, Italy) and we need to pay for a 3 ...
While it is not one of the best cruises I’ve experienced, as the room was not as clean as it appears. The wifi was expensive, you have to pay 100$ for unlimited soft drinks, The service was excellent. So many members in the cruise made us feel welcomed, appreciated and cared for. Now I can’t list down all of the crew members but ernesto and sarvesh and cleon the waiters, and safiya the janitor ...
My husband and I were on the Odyssey of the Seas for a Greek Island cruise. The cruise left Rome and ports included Santorini, Kusadasi (Turkey), Mykonos, and Naples. A few insights:
- Cabin - we used Royal Up to move to a Grand Suite from a Jr Suite. The room was clean and spacious. Pretty high tech too compared to previous cruises since we had touchscreen controls with preset scenes for the ...
We booked this cruise in part to celebrate a 50th birthday and because the previous two we'd tried were cancelled due to COVID (more of that later).
This was the third cruise with RCCL, having sailed on Independence in 2016 and Explorer in 2019. We adored Indie, everything about that cruise was incredible, and couldn't fault a thing, Explorer was also great, albeit being a slightly older ship ...
Where do I start? This was our first ever cruise. We decided to push the boat out and book a 2 Bedroom Grand Suite for a week. Worked out at €14,000 including gratuities so not cheap. We enjoyed it, but learned some lessons along the way. Would we go again? Probably.
The Mediterranean isn’t the best destination in the world for a ship like Symphony because the ports are miles away from the ...
We booked this cruise as we have wanted to visit a bit more of Spain plus Islands. This cruise only went in August. We were quite satisfied with the ship although looking out from our balcony in the middle deck 9 the lifeboats got in the way. We had what seemed to be a very noisy cabin. Metal banging and scaping that went on for hours from 11pm to 4 am every night we only got about two hours sleep ...
Background: We had not sailed on Royal Caribbean since before the Covid shutdown (2019) and still had a NextCruise from a cancelled Majesty OTS sailing in 2021. So after a pause in sailing with RCCL, we booked this quick cruise from our homeport here in FL.
We arrived at the pier at our prescribed boarding time and were checked in without any problem but with no recognition of being Crown & ...
My mother invited the entire family on a 7 day cruise in the Mediterranean to celebrate her birthday. This trip was a painful ordeal - every part of ship blared music from speakers. Every pool features music so loud you had to shout to be heard - pretty much the opposite of a relaxing vacation. At one point their tested their emergency warning system, and the emergency horns were literally lower ...
We have very few fixed weeks of vacation each year, and this was one of them. Took my 89 year old dad and handicapped nephew, hoping to find some interesting ports and ship entertainment and quality family time.
The ship has NOT been renovated. Furnishings, both soft and hard goods, are old and worn. The Hallways smell strongly of must, mold and mildew. Rooms were better, however when moving ...
I chose this cruise for the ports, especially Iceland. I could go on and on about the wonderful ports. My sister raved about Royal Caribbean so we thought we would try it. The coffee bar needs improvement, the servers were slow and they would punch your card twice if you asked for a medium coffee. The coffee was not not the best. The pastries were stale everyday, how is that possible? Only once ...
