Dirty Ship

First let me say the positive; the food everywhere on board was great. Staff was very pleasant, but obviously overworked. Common areas on the ship were dirty and the bathrooms were a disaster. Toilet paper all over the floor, dirty sinks & toilets. You should know before you booked that room stewards only clean your room once a day....which would be OK except give us more than one set of ...

We were in room (Grand Suite) sailing out of Tampa to CocoCay and Nassau. We sailed in a Grand Suite on Freedom of the Seas out of Miami in Feb. this year and found the two experiences to be vastly different. Some info that's not really pro or con but just to keep in mind: The Serenade ship is smaller and therefore feels much more crowded. We could hear the music from the Centrum and pool deck in ...

Some good, but overall it fell well short of expectations. Avoid this ship and probably RC altogether.

My family of 7 booked this cruise about a year ago and were really looking forward to it. We got a 2-bedroom suite and all 7 of us stayed there together. Room number was 8668. We paid about $5,500. Family consists of two adults, and 5 kids, ages ranging from 10-15. Two were un-vaccinated due to age (vaccine was not authorized for their age at the time) 5 night cruise was originally on ...

This was my 4th cruise, my first with Royal Caribbean. I had high expectations because of the rave reviews I had received of Royal Caribbean. I know traveling in February would not be a typical "family" crowd but the other cruised I have been on were during the school year and my 15 year old son loved the teen club activities and made great friends on the other cruise lines. He was the ONLY teen ...

Bland Food. Short Ports. Missed Private Island.

I've cruised on Carnival and Celebrity in the past and thought RC's Serenade of the Seas was a couple of steps down from my other cruise experiences. The food was bland and usually overcooked, the port stops were way too short and we missed our private island stop entirely. According to the staff, they had been missing the stop for weeks on end. I wish I had done better research because I would ...

This was my third time cruising and first with my 7-year-old daughter. The other two cruises were with Carnival. We chose Royal Caribbean because it was supposed to be a step up from Carnival (which has been described as the Wal-Mart of cruise lines). Pre-cruise experience: By far this was as bad as it could possibly be. RCI's website is terrible. In fact, my experience(s) in trying to book ...
