We chose this ship do to the many different ports in the Caribbean. The problem is on board this ship. We have never seen so many older people in my life on a cruise. Super boring on ship, except for the theatre shows. We too are around 60 but like other reviewers this was just to old of a crowd for us. Karaoke was lame, the vortex dance club maybe 8 people in there total. Never seen anything ...

Good Crew - Bad Management - Poor Execution

Royal Caribbean's business policies have ruined this ship. The crew works hard, but you can't fix things from the back seat. It became obvious two days into an eleven-day cruise that there would be less to do more. Stateroom attendants must take care of more rooms. This means the room cannot be deep cleaned regularly unless there is an "accident" or event that would require it. Closets, ...

The entire pool deck at TV end couldnt be used due to all the replacement parts sitting all around & not able to have Dancing or evening affairs due to RC using the New Years cruise to replace TV, but it would be ready for next cruise who paid the same fare!! Took the entire 10 days to do this & have pictures to prove, forcing ALL events to be held in Solarium which isnt big enough for all to ...

Booked this New Year 11 night southern caribbean cruise for our anniversary, how dissppointing to find the ship overpacked from the 2900 capacity to over 3300 souls, it was bedlam with large groups of overseas visitors rude loud noisy, and gangs of feral teenage kids roaming the bars and lounges each evening. Worse still was the workmen who set up on embarkation day to remove and refit the ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 20s

This was my first cruise with RCI and for those who say to make a good impression RCI did anything but. I will admit I am on the younger side of adult hood but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be taken any less seriously especially if I am a paying costumer. Lets start with the good things. I loved the service from the staff in the MDR. They were always willing to go the extra mile to ensure I had a ...

We were celebrating a 40th wedding anniversary, 60th birthday and an engagement. We had 11 family members from 3 different locations coming together for this cruise. December 30th. We boarded the ship and was advised to head up to the pool bar to get a drink and relax until the buffet was open and our cabins were ready. Upon getting to the pool bar, there was only 1 bartender, and her attitude ...

We chose this itinerary because of the ports, and were excited to try Royal Caribbean again after quite a few years. Serenade of the seas was outdated, boring, lack of good entertainment and activities. Food in the the Windjammer was terrible. Main dining room was mediocre at best, the waitstaff was excellent though, all the crew were excellent, no complaints on that aspect. No Caribbean music ...

Great room attendant 7534, great diamond club staff, great waiter table 614 Other staff does not seem committed like in past cruises. Almost felt as though we were bothering them for service. Food a huge disappointment in general. No flavor. Definitely have cut back on quality of meat. Coke package a joke. No coke machines diet caffeine free coke impossible to get most days. Would not ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

To start with my wife and I are pretty easy to keep happy, yet they failed in every way possible. While we have enjoyed RC cruise lines in the past, this one was a FAIL in all aspects and not just by our opinion but also by MANY in asked for comments by others. The Ship was clean and on time getting to and leaving ports, and while a good thing, that should not be the best thing about the trip. ...

Was told last year ship was to be refurbished not true. This ship is old in decor, linens are thread bare, beds are extremely hard. The solarium pool decor is poor worn and out of date and dirty. The stateroom bathroom is tiny and smells of sewage. The 12 Bar Band was terrible, unenthusiastic and dressed in same attire wrinkled and unkept each night. Very little seating in centrum. Outside ...
