Most of the itinerary was great! Ponce, Puerto Rico was a waste of time. We loved St. Lucia & Antigua the most! We booked this cruise to correspond with our wedding anniversary & the ports of call we had never been to. The ship & the cruise line were both new to us & unfortunately we would never book either of them again. It was an older ship with a lot of older people on it. The food & ...
We signed up for this cruise, for the ports of call, but mainly because we were going with friends who had sailed with RCI before. This was our first time on an RCI ship and because of the Lack of things to do, it will be the last time on an RCI ship.
The pool side daytime movie screen entertainment was, day after day, the same mind numbing drivel. When the cruise line has paid for movies, ...
Everything was just adequate. The staff was efficient and friendly but the activities were equivalent to Carnival ships — mostly games and related to buying a product or service. No education or culture offered. Food was ok, better in the buffet than in the dining room. They tried hard and were as accommodating as they could be but the overall food prep was not as good as other RC ships and a ...
We chose this cruise because of the convenience of leaving from Boston and the islands to be visited. The ship is very easy to get around on and the staff is pleasant. Some areas of the ship are in need of repair. In our stateroom bathroom the mirror seemed to have a buildup of algae around the edges and after a brief rainstorm the floor of our balcony was covered in a muddy debris. The ...
So, we've been on The Jewel of the Seas before, and it was fine. Signed up for this one because of easy access to Boston, and we love Bermuda. We've been there several times. Checking in was easy and the ship was nice. A little frayed around the edges here and there but no big detriment.
Our biggest complaint was not being able to get potable water easily. We need to drink a lot and brought ...
New England and Canada foliage tour. Good decor and clean ship for its age. Staff attentive and efficient. Main dining room food was somewhat disappointing. Buffet areas were surprisingly better than expected. Excursions and unboarding unorganized at times. Floor shows not top notch. Overall a good experience, staff did not seem overly happy and did not speak English well. Land excursions were ...
This was our second and most probably our last cruise. Having previously travelled with P&O, we were lead to believe that things could only get better. Our maiden cruise to the Norwegian Fjords was plagued with badly arranged events and a very poor attitude by the crew we encountered, The 'best' part of the P&O cruise was the time spent ashore and away from the boat. Royal Caribbean was ...
This is an old design ship with no big comfortable areas for strolling and activities. Everything is in a specific area and feels old and claustrophobic. Its also an aged ship. Why would you choose such a ship when there are so many new and amazing ships available?
The entertainment was quite disappointing and especially compared to my other cruises where the entertainment was ...
The main reason for choosing this cruise was the itinerary. In that regard, the cruise did not disappoint. The ship itself appeared a little old and in need of some upgrades in comparison to others of RCCL. The cabin was sufficient, spacious balcony room. We were certainly glad we switched to the spacious category as the regular balcony would have been very small. This designation was not ...
The crew were very good, friendly and helpful. Our cabin steward, was excellent and welcoming. The Vintages wine staff were great as well as all other bar staff. Zumba was great and climbing wall was fun. The ports and excursions were also excellent. The choice of drinks was good, The buffet food in Windjammer was very good. The music around the ship was good but too loud as it dominated rather ...
