Royal Caribbean Europe Cruise Reviews

For me having sailed with Royal Caribbean several times in the past we jumped at the chance to sail such a beautiful itinerary. This was my partner's first cruise and I wanted everything to be perfect. I've sailed on Anthem of the seas previously and had very high hopes for Odyssey - and we weren't disappointed! Odyssey is a gorgeous ship, modern, bright and colourful and had more than we ...

Last Minute Cruise to England on the Anthem OTS, May 2022 We had been shuffling our feet about any big trips for the spring of 2022, mostly because of COVID uncertainty and a poor experience on a short cruise impacted by woefully inadequate staffing and supplies with MSC in March. We were the “surge” (3,300 passengers) after months of less than 1,000 passengers. However, when we saw that RCL ...

I want to start this review by saying that I walked off the ship sobbing. I had such a great time and made so many wonderful people, I did not want it to end. Background Information: This was my 40th cruise, and I have have been on approximately 20 Royal Caribbean Cruises. I traveled with my husband and two daughters who are in their 20s. My husband and I live on Long Island and my ...

This was the first cruise after a loooong break due to covid. So the reason we booked this cruise, was that’s it’s close from home (Norway) and we know all destinations well. But it’s a CRUISE! Normally we sail X. But the dates and ports of call fitted well for our tactics. So it was nothing new and adventurous on the plan, just a good cruise and all that it offers. This cruise, I ...

We sailed on Wonder of the Seas on a 14-Day Transatlantic sailing. It departed Fort Lauderdale and we landed in Barcelona, Spain 14 days later. We also had three stops along the Spanish coast. It was our first transatlantic crossing and we really got to know the ship. Let me start off by saying that our experience on Wonder of the Seas was really fantastic. Every aspect of the long cruise was ...

This cruise was a replacement for the OVATION Hawaii cruise which was cancelled by Royal. It was the only cruise that fit the timeframe and ship size/experience... and I have to admit, I was curious. Everything was shiny and new. There was an incredible amount of activities, music, new venues to try, and fun entertainment! The cruise director (Michael) was the best I have ever experienced. His ...

This trip was to celebrate my and my husbands retirements. We started planning about 5 years ago, and decided to begin our adventure with a 14 day repositioning cruise, so booked the RC Allure about 9 months in advance of the trip. We were surprised and excited to hear that RC was changing itinerary, and that we were being moved to the brand-new, largest ship in the world! We did a lot of ...

At first I had a cruise booked on the Rhapsody of the Seas from Venice to Barcelona which got postponed, and then cancelled. I then wanted to do the Harmony but I was lead to believe Italy did not want UK residents due to high Covid levels, so eventually settled for the Jewel out of Cyprus. So we travelled by train from Nottingham to London and then on to Gatwick the day before and stayed at ...

Finally it is cruising time again! And you could feel that vibe all over the ship :-) In advance, we had to deal with a lot of paperwork (PLF for Spain, covid safe ticket, PLF for Italy, embarkation ticket, health quastionnaire, QR-code for covid test before boarding...) It was kind of stressfull. When we arrived at the terminal, we had to show our embarkation ticket at least 5 times at ...
