It was my birthday on June 15th and it was a cuise that I wanted to do. We were schedule to board at 1pm. so we got to the pier at 12.30 pm. and we finnaly got on board at 3.30 pm just as the Windjammer was closing. This was our 19th cruise with RCL and the food on board was by far the worse we have ever had. The service was slow, but we soon found tout that they were short staffed. The hot tub ...
Absolutely loved the destinations on this cruise and the excursions and shore visits were all wonderful. We also did the Hubbard Glacier Wilderness boat which was very expensive but worth every penny. The scenery was incredible and we saw a lot of wildlife en route including many whales. We would definitely do this destination again but probably wouldn’t choose Serenade. This ship is looking a ...
Due to Covid, we wanted to book a cruise that departed and returned to Vancouver. This would allow us to fly domestically so the only testing we would need was to get on the ship itself. We wanted to go in May as it is one of the dryer months and it was the best decision as we had amazing weather. 13-18 degrees celsius every day. We needed nothing more than a sweatshirt at most and some days ...
Food Windjammer buffet food inedible. All meat dishes w/ the exception of the roast were TOO SALTY. Buffet drove me to become a vegetarian. East Indian food is a favorite of my daughter. She left it on her plate. inedible. Pizza dry and had few toppings.
The moment the MDR opened for breakfast and lunch we ate there. Still disappointed. Eggs Benidict fine, but cook not flexible. I ...
This was the WORST vacation experience of my life, by far. Let me preface that all the service providers on the ship were exemplary but honestly had their hands tied by the lack of management support. Any negative statement presented here is not aimed at the service staff.
To set the stage. This was a bucket list trip for my father, turning 82 on the ship. MONTHS of planning went into this with ...
If you’re on the fence about cruising don’t be. This ship works extra hard to keep areas sanitized. Staff are friendly about it. There very few people on board. The food is fabulous, the shows are wonderful, first class. We’re so glad we came. We were on the fence about canceling because of the cruise with confidence guarantee. Everyone on the cruise seems to be enjoying Themselves. They are ...
This was my 6th cruise overall and second with Royal Caribbean and most likely my last with them. When I say this ship was focused on the older crown I mean there was next to nothing for two people traveling in their 20's to do on board. Hardly any activities, no good shows, no music, top deck by the pool was an absolute dead zone. Overall I was looking for a relaxing vacation which was easy to ...
We booked 11 family members for this cruise to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary. When we originally booked we booked an entirely different ship for a 5 day cruise with stops in the Bahamas and Mexico. About six weeks prior to cruising RC changed our ship and port stops to Cozumel and Costa de Maya. We rolled with the changes and selected our excursions. Three weeks prior to cruising Covid ...
This shorter 4 day cruise was really a lot of fun on a mid size ship. We really enjoyed the entertainment and all their Activities. Playing all the trivia and activies each day was truly a lot of fun. The Covid protocols weren't too cumbersome and the cruise felt very safe. We thought the food in the MDR was very good and both specialty restaurants were excellent. Our cabin was really well ...
we were visiting friends in Tampa so decided to tack on this five day cruise. The only hassle was the requirement of a covid rapid test since CDC required that it be done within 2 days of sailing. But we got it done.
We are Diamond plus members but also have cruised on Norwegian, Carnival, Princess and Holland America, including a 7 day on the Carnival Pride out of Baltimore at the end of ...
