I am a Diamond member with more that 18 years cruising with Royal Caribbean.
Captain Ryan did not tell the true story about sick passengers. returning the vessel back to Sidney. There was only One sick passenger smiling and shaking hands when getting out from the ship and lot of musicians that came out when we returned to Sidney on Day 3. NONE unconscious passenger as we were told by the ...

My family and I are Emerald Crown & Anchor Loyalty Members who have been on multiple cruise vacations with Royal Caribbean totalling nearly 60 nights. My parents, whom we travel with, are Diamond Plus Members who have spent more than 175 nights at sea. However our last two cruises have left us completely disillusioned and unlikely to book again.
In December 2022, we travelled on an Ovation of ...

We booked a ship departing from Sydney to New Zealand on November 23, eagerly anticipating the visit to the renowned New Zealand tourist destination, the fjords. The ticket indicated arrivals on November 26 at Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound, Dusky Sound, November 27 at Dunedin, November 28 at Wellington, November 29 at Napier, November 30 at Picton, and return to Sydney on December 3.
However, ...

We'd sailed on Explorer of the Seas once before and a weekend trip on the Ovation seemed like a good idea. It wasn't.
In brief; dreadful service, low morale amongst crew, lack of cleaning, foodcourt quality food in the dining rooms and far worse in the buffet.
The ship is big and newish but the finish is more like a well appointed caravan with lots of wood veneer and perspex than a cruise ...

Royal Carribean cancelled our first cruise to the South Pacific. We had already planned and booked the remainder of our trip to Australia and New Zealand and were forced into choosing this cruise. We were very disappointed with the options available but had to choose another cruise within a small window as RC WOULD NOT REFUND our deposit, even though they were the ones who repositioned the ship ...

We booked this holiday a year ago. We booked five cabins all balcony. I have been on 10 + cruises but first time with Royal Caribbean. The food was hospital food absolutely terrible. The buffet at lunch never changed, if you a vegetarian or have any dietary requirements do not go on this ship unless you want to lose weight. We never got to go on the bumper cars rollerskating or rock wall because ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s
Zero communication from staff regarding the actual tender times and availability of shuttles etc. Be prepared to get up early and deal with their lies. Royal Caribbean act shocked when alot of passengers rock up to leave the ship and leave you hanging for hours. Best estimate for actual disembarking of the ship is 2 hours after they tell you. If you (against advice) set foot on boat I recommend ...

We chose this cruise, as it was the first time that I was embarking on trip from my home port.
No need to fly to a destination, no need to worry about weight limits or currency exchanges. I was going to depart Sydney on the harbour and through Sydney heads at sunset, beautiful. That's where the vision ended.
The entertainment on board was virtually non existent as we were appointed ...

Let me just say that this has been one of the worst cruises I've been on. The whole cruise has been one disappointment after another that has made what was supposed to be a happy and enjoyable birthday and 10th anniversary holiday into a depressing and boring cruise. From the horrible staff in the kids club that drove my 3yo daughter to tears, to the overcrowding of the ship so much that you can't ...

I choose this cruise because it LOOKS spectacular...
But don't be deceived. The service was horrible... I wanted fresh parmesan but I got the 3 year old grated parmesan cheese...
If I were to be a 1st time cruiser I still would think that this ship was bad...
I got woken up at 9:30am ship time to the crew emergency practice... on the 6th day. Why couldn't they have used the walkie ...
