Royal Caribbean Serenade of the Seas Romantic Cruises Reviews

Wanted to do the panama canal cruise from LA to Miami. Advertisement with johnny rockets and starbucks. On board reality hits you: No johnny rockets, no starbucks, to Mislead you they ise starbucks cups but not eh coffee brand itself. Ship is old and dirty, somethimes my plate from the windjammer was not clean. Food is left out to long resulting in bad food experience with burger ...

Background: We had not sailed on Royal Caribbean since before the Covid shutdown (2019) and still had a NextCruise from a cancelled Majesty OTS sailing in 2021. So after a pause in sailing with RCCL, we booked this quick cruise from our homeport here in FL. We arrived at the pier at our prescribed boarding time and were checked in without any problem but with no recognition of being Crown & ...

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 ...

I booked this cruise with my 23 year old daughter for a mother/daughter trip. We booked Serenade due to the itinerary meeting our needs. We previously sailed RC as a family on the Oasis and Freedom. We loved both of the previous cruises. I was a bit hesitant booking such a small ship but figured it was only 5 days and would be great regardless of size. Embarkation was wonderful. We were on the ...

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 ...

This was my 1st cruise with them and boy did it leave an impression. The live music played on the pool deck was so bad. The 2 gentlemen tried their best but were off the mark with the covers they were playing. Then there was the men's restroom outside the Reflections dining room that had "fluid" overflowing from it into the hallway leading to the Reflections dining room. Despite this, the ...

I chose this cruise because it was leaving from Tampa and because of itinerary. Serenade of the Seas needs to be dry docked and refurbished! The staterooms are OLD and worn out. No shampoo or bars of soap for shower. Only liquid soap dispenser marked Shampoo AND Body Wash No Wifi except for the Royal Caribbean app and even that was inconsistent. Internet was available for $24.99 a ...

Our honeymoon cruise was chosen, most of all, for the fine reputation of RCCL. We were surprised to find that too many experiences were annoying, disappointing and most of all, could have been corrected in real time but were not corrected at all. While we believe that cruising is a viable type of cost-controlled vavationing, we cannot see ourselves returning to RCCL given the many fine choices ...

we chose this cruise due to its price and the itinerary. the countries were beautiful and the excursions were very fun, however almost everything on the boat is an upcharge of a ridiculous amount. alcoholic drinks were near 20$, the internet was slow and just about 100$ for a week for only one device, t shirts are near 30$, 24 water bottles were 36$. ended up almost spent another 1000$ just for ...

This cruise was chosen by my parents, a family holiday over Christmas, which SHOULD and COULD have suited all generations. Whilst we knew the age of the ship was older (it’s certainly over due a refurb) and therefore it doesn’t offer the bells and whistles of the newer/ bigger ships in RCs fleet, there is frankly no excuse for the way in which this ship has been maintained. Whilst I would say it ...
