Royal Caribbean Serenade of the Seas Romantic Cruises Reviews

I have sailed many times with Royal Caribbean and a few others and I’ve always told others and only stuck with Royal Caribbean because of how nice everything is. This time was a nightmare. This was the first time my partner ever took a cruise and it was for her 30th birthday. She isn’t even exited about doing another. The staff at the main bar we’re above and beyond rude, half the items shown ...

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 ...

RCL Serenade of the Seas-October 25 – 30--departing from Tampa Review for Cruise Critic: RCL Serenade of the Seas Glass, glass, everywhere! What we especially like about the Serenade was all the windows throughout the public areas wonderful for ocean watching – even from a set of elevators. There is also a true fully around the ship promenade deck on which you can actually get out to ...

Royal Caribbean changed our destination from Cozumel to Coco Cay without any notification one month before embarkation. Not only that but I bought an excursion for Cozumel and they didn’t refund my money. This was our first and last cruise on Royal Caribbean. We were so mad and didn’t find out we were not going to Cozumel until after the ship left port. There was nothing but one show per day in ...

This is a review of the repositioning cruise of the Serenade of Seas sailing from Los Angeles to Miami through the Panama Canal. The Serenade started sailing again in the summer of 2021 in Alaska. The crew boarded in late June, quarantined on the ship and started sailing in Mid-July from Seattle to Alaska and back in one-week cruises. On September 25, all guests departed the ship and the ...

I've never been involved in cruise ship work nor management, but I have some experience in entertainment and hospitality, and a lot of ship operations experience. Based upon those and other experiences I think I know things that some people whose occupation is managing cruise ships don't realize. The income and lives of many people depend upon the continuity of cruise ship operations. If I ...

We chose this cruise as our cruise on the Solstice was canceled. We normally cruise Alaska every year and this was our 2nd RC cruise. In 2019 sailed Ovation of the Seas. We have also sailed HAL, Celebrity Infinity 2010 and the Solstice many times. We knew things would be challenging because of COVID. The ship was beautiful. I thought the food was very good. However, I felt very uncomfortable in ...

Pros: *Very kind staff - easily see everyone smiling behind their masks *Adventure Ocean open for kids and provided fun times *Bands and comedy - amazing and very entertaining - Phil Tag is a fave for sure. *ship not crowded! For once no wait on the elevators and getting around Cons (we knew this was an older demographic cruise and thought less party but still ...

We are quite experienced cruisers and wanted to go to Alaska, and wanted to try a new experience on a different line. This was our opportunity. Our first impression was that it was quite like our other experiences, and we joked with each other the main difference was that it was "much louder". But after a while we began to notice some significant differences. The overall impression was that ...

Felt very safe on this cruise. Ship 45% full, many precautions taken, although I suspect the few children were the only ones on the cruise unvaccinated. Crew seemed ecstatic to be sailing again. As always, RCL does everything they can to meet your needs and make your vacation a success. Negatives were all the shows were at 9:30pm! Movies were sparse, or shown outside in the 50 degree ...
