We choose this cruise for the affordability and because we have been wanting to try Royal Caribbean. The service from our state room attendant, Byron, and our waiter in the main dining room, Michael, were excellent and very attentive! The ship was clean and we enjoyed the shows.
We were disappointed with the food - it lacked flavor and tasted like it was mass produced. The crab cakes were ...
I was counting down the days until this cruise was over. I brought my 2 year old daughter with me, as well as, my mother. Getting on the ship would have been good but we dealt with some rude people telling us to "hurry up" and putting us in the wrong line and so on.This cruise ship is very hard to navigate with a stroller, wheelchair, etc. Hardly any activities for 2 year olds. The one thing she ...
I haven't sailed with Royal Caribbean in a number of years and was anxious to try one of their newer ships, Adventure of the Seas. I had not been to 3 of the 4 destinations before and that was a factor in choosing this particular sailing from April 7-14, 2018. I had not been to St. Kitts before and was excited to check out the best possibilities for excursions that would interest me. I found ...
Wow, the phrase: "You Have Got to be Kidding" came out a lot.
This was our first RC cruise and didn't know what to expect. For starters, the RC website was cumbersome to use, having to log in multiple times on one session was annoying. I uploaded id photos a number of times and looks like they finally were accepted, only to have our pictures taken again at check-in. We really liked the ...
We have several previous cruises on RCC as well as all the other competitors. Our very first cruise was with RCC and we had an amazing vacation. Regretfully, every sailing on RCC since has been a huge disappointment. The March 24, 2018 Caribbean from San Juan was no exception.
First, I must credit our stateroom attendant and wait staff as they were wonderful and a pleasure to have serving us. ...
The horror began with cancellation of the originally scheduled trip, February 2018. On 26 April we were advised the ship would be taken out of service, at the peak of vacation season to install a Japanese Specialty restaurant. As our group consisted of 12 people, rebooking at a good time was impossible. So, we were forced to book a trip for 10-17 MARCH. This was during spring break for a lot of ...
My wife had an onboard medical conference. Thus, we decided to make it a family vacation for my wife, myself, and our 14 month old daughter.
The beds were horrible. My wife (30 years old) and I (37 years old), who are both young and extremely healthy, woke up every morning with aching backs. The beds were stiff and we would have been better off sleeping on the floor and having more space ...
We went on this cruise 2 years ago and had a wonderful magical Christmas experience. Not so this year. Very little traditional Christmas music playing, obnoxious cruise director, loud parties and events, stressed out staff members and much more. It felt like the cruise had evolved into the younger crowd party boat and very few middle to upper-age guests were fitting in, or even wanting too. We ...
We chose this ship for the increase in ports. I realized it was older than our previous ship, the Allure, but I wasn't expecting the uncleanliness and poor customer service that we received. Our first night upon going to bed, we had blood stains on our sheets. After nearly 3 hours, several calls, and personally visiting the front desk, we finally got to go to bed at 3am.
We also had ...
We flew into San Jaun the afternoon of the cruise and took advantage of RCCL Transfers which were later reimbursed by RCCL. The Transfer was timely and uneventful. Check-in was quick and easy as there were no lines for priority check-in. We noted that there was the smell of mold in some passageways and were disappointed to find our cabin in the same condition. Some cruisers we later spoke with ...
