I went on the Bravo Cruise, to experience the musical entertainment program, including numerous renowned performers, all of whom were absolutely wonderful in every way.
I was able to go on this cruise because of the special reductions ofrered in the month prior to sailing. As a solo traveller, it became affordable. However, there were numerous disappointments and overall expectations of the ...
We were advised by our travel agent to take a relocation cruise to enjoy a lot of extra cruising time, plus the bonus of having a few days in Hawaii before flying home. Sounded like a great idea. My daughter and her husband, both aged in their 20s joined us. We had only done one other cruise which was fabulous. Royal Carribbean was sold to us as a 'cut above' and more pitched to adults than ...
The destinations and sea days appealed to us. Having cruised the radiance many years ago, we had no qualms of using the ship again. Our first encounter with our cabin came as a shock with worn and badly patched curtains and an over all shabbiness. The smell coming from the drains was terrible, our wonderful room steward was unable to help with the smell, the origin of the odour became evident ...
We have cruised nearly 40 cruises. 7 on Royal Caribbean. We traveled as a couple. We are from Boston area and are 69 years old. The ship is showing its age in some places. Windows in common areas were filthy when we departed and were never cleaned during the trip. Rust areas are visible on the outside of the ship.
We were in cabin 2016. Cabin was very disappointing. Porthole for a ...
We chose this because of the ports and the fact that we could circumnavigate Australia, go to Indonesia, and also visit New Zealand. We are also Diamond members. The quality of the food was far inferior to that we have enjoyed on previous cruises. The attitude of the guest service people was abrupt and not helpful. This ship needs a serious shake up of the attitude of folks behind the front desks. ...
I will try to keep this as short as possible, although I could write a book about it.
Faulty plumbing in bathroom making terrible noises throughout the day. Flooding of floor of cabin from outside source. Cabin change to so called upgrade that was really a category downgrade. New cabin had permanent black ring in toilet from wearing out of porcelain and bathroom lights flickered off and on ...
We were travelling to Australia from the Uk and to cover the most areas decided to do three back to back cruises covering Australia and New Zealand. We are Diamand Plus members of RCL Crown and Anchor society with over 25 cruises completed with them and up until now have always found the service and quality to be excellent so had no qualms about booking with them again. We did travel on the ...
Twice I received escargot that were COLD, no cheese for Caesar salads, most cooked foods well done. I asked waiter for medium rare and he said only well done or medium. The medium was well done. Dining room needs a new head chef. Waiters are verg good but that little extra step needed to make the food great. I would hire the head chef currently on the Celebrity Infinity.

We chose rci because we have been with other cruise lines and thought it might be worth a try. The ship itself is ok. If you like a floating ATM. Eg, a $4.50 bag of maltesers, $12.99.
A $4.50 toblerone, $29.00. Even the people who serve you know it's over the top because they tell you the price before they ring it up.
There is to much hard selling, everywhere, if I wanted people annoying me ...
Reunion with Family from NZ and Canada .
On boarding the ship no one was available to direct us to our cabin .No sign of any staff so different to any other cruises we have been on ,
On arriving to our cabin we unpacked our cases and put one under the bed and the other on the two seater (lack of space for storing bags ) Paper rubbish under the bed and under the cushions on the 2 seater there ...
