	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony never again!!!!!!! by A Traveler from Virginia Sailing date: May 2012 Pros: stateroom attendee was super nice n kept room looking nice n tidy Cons: horrible food The food in the dining room was nearly the same as the windjammer buffet. The waiter was not very friendly. Steaks n prime ribs were horrible. Medium steak were super well done,thin and prime rib medium was dry n hard. Lol...Worst food ever on a cruise and we cruised many times before. They were smoking everywhere. On the deck by the pool. we couldn't spend any time on the balcony because of cigarette smell.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Great Cruise by Richard D from Portage, IN Sailing date: Feb 2012 Pros: Excusions Cons: Very Expensive This was my first cruise, and have heard that every cruise is like this, but I can't believe how much money they try to get out of you. Seems like every time I turn my back they are trying to sell something. Other than that, it was a great cruise, loved the stops. Ship Details: Ship Quality Ship was clean, had no issues. Dining/Food Food was very good. Our table mates were very nice. Had real good conversations with them. Stateroom Quality Room was nice. I was expecting something very small and was surprised it wasn't that small. Ship Staff Quality Everyone was very friendly. Entertainment & Activities My wife was upset with the Jewerly making that there wasn't enough time to complete anything. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside Great cruise by Pat D from Spearfish, SD Sailing date: Feb 2012 Pros: Our promenade room Cons: Nighttime music It was a wonderful ship, very easy to get around in. They kept it very clean and pretty. The ships crew was very friendly and happy. The food was wonderful with lots of choices. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food The dining room food was wonderful. Our waiter Dorin and assistant Peng Li were great and made the experience one to remember. Stateroom Quality We loved our room over looking the promenade area. It was roomier and perfect. Ship Staff Quality One of the friendliest ships we have ever been on. Everyone seemed happy. Entertainment & Activities Very good nightly entertainment. Just wish they would have a good rock and roll band or 50s type band to dance to. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Not up to Royal Carribean's standards by Eric C from Wichita Falls, TX Sailing date: Dec 2011 Pros: Clean room, good shows Cons: Terrible food, poor waiters, limited entertainment options This was our first time on Royal Caribbean, and might be our last. As a floating hotel, this could have been a decent cruise. Most of the service was fair to good, the room was ok, and the trip mostly went off without a hitch. Our biggest complaints centered around the dining room: slow/inconsistent service and poor food quality brought down the rest of the experience. Food was obviously microwaved just before being served, most of the food on the buffet was lukewarm, and in both areas the food was dry, stale, overcooked, flavorless or any combination of these. Most of the other passengers with whom we spoke were regular Royal cruisers, and were telling us how this boat fell far short of Royal's usual standard of quality, but we can only take their words for it at this point. We left more detailed reviews below. Ship Details: Ship Quality Seemed very large. The ship smelled musty when we first boarded, including our stateroom. The decor was appealing, and the common areas were kept clean. Not all elevators or stairs went to every floor, so going up and down floors could be confusing; go up two flights, then go to the other side of the ship to another set of stairs to continue going up, etc. Dining/Food The food in both the buffet and dining room had the taste and consistency of having been reheated (microwaved). Most dishes were dried-out and/or overcooked. The soups and gravy were made from powder mixes. Each passenger was assigned a specific table and seating time for dinner (which we did not mind), but during breakfast and lunch you would always be seated at a large table with other random diners. While we enjoyed most of our conversations with these other people, we would have preferred to have been seated privately at least once in awhile. The Jade Restaurant is not a separate dining room, as advertised, but a six foot section of the regular buffet that just served a few different kinds of fried rice. Regular buffet consisted of only three stations: small salad bar, burger/hot dog station, and carvery. Very little of the food tasted good, though you were allowed to order as much as you wanted. The best meal that we had during the whole trip was at a little snack shop in Jamaic Stateroom Quality Room size and decor met our expectations. Room was cleaned and serviced twice daily, so we always had fresh towels and ice. Bed and couch were decent. Balcony door lock was damaged by a previous passenger, but stayed closed. Transparent dividers between balconies limited privacy. Ship Staff Quality Stateroom attendants provided excellent, personalized service. Dining room staff were slow and disorganized; often could not get refills on drinks for half or more of the meal service. Customer service and shore excursions staff were friendly and helpful. Entertainment & Activities Special shows were great, but infrequent; ice dancing, juggler, singers, etc, usually only had one show per day. Most of the regularly scheduled activities on board seemed to consist of just alcohol, gambling and sales pitches. More than half of video arcade games were broken. Sports facilities (basketball court, mini-golf, rock wall, etc) were in decent shape. "Murder mystery" night at the Portofino restaurant was fun, if expensive (it's also four hours long; 7-11pm). 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Cruise exceeded our highest expectations by Bill H from Shady Shores, TX Sailing date: Jul 2011 Pros: outstanding & genuinely friendly staff Cons: ended all too soon The ship was spotless any where we went. the entertainment was varied, excellent, and fun. The food was first class all the way wherever you ate & our room was quiet and comfy. Ship Details: Ship Quality takes a while to get your bearings but before long it's like an old friiend Dining/Food take your appetite and forget the calories...you're gonna love the presentations and varied flavors. Stateroom Quality loved our balcony views, the bed was huge and comfortable, nice sitting area, and plenty of closet space and storeage Ship Staff Quality you just have to see for yourself...the service from everyone was second to none! Entertainment & Activities we took advantage of every venue offered and had a blast. the entrainment director deserves a raise. Read this user's port of call reviews: Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey; Souda (Chania), Crete; Piraeus (Athens), Greece; Messina, Sicily Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey This was an unanticapted pleasure. The counrtyside is beautiful, the people were very nice & helpful and Ephesus is a national treasue as well as Mary's home. Whatever faith you are you will appreciate the Biblical Ephesus tour. The ruins are specatular...it's as if you can hear the vendors and chariots in the streets. Don't Miss: Ephesus Souda (Chania), Crete the port of Chania or Hania as they write it is simply a beautiful place to spend the afternoon or to take a boat tour. The port has a great fell to it and the market is well worth a visit to. Don't Miss: the in town port itself & the nearby resturants Piraeus (Athens), Greece The port and Athens may leave a bit to be desired but once again we had a great guide and she made the Acroplois come to life for us at every turn Don't Miss: the Acroplois of course Messina, Sicily the drive to Mt Etna gives you the most scenic panoramas and our guide knew the history which was a real plus for us. The stop in beautiful Taormina was too short but we enjoyed every minute of it,,,,take the tour...it's a must. Don't Miss: Taormina 5 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

The Captain runs a really good operation - all its parts Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality Recognizing what we booked - the space was great Ship Staff Quality Great Captain and dsenior officers Entertainment & Activities Loved the ice skating presentation Read this user's port of call reviews: Cozumel, Mexico Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Cozumel, Mexico Cozumel seems interesting - shop ownwers remind me of Juarez - too pushy Could not travel through the area extensively 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside Good Times...Great People!! by A Traveler from Ontario. Canada Sailing date: Apr 2011 Pros: The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful at all times! The food was fantastic! Cons: We needed to be more informed of the large one time events going on...such as the 12 am buffet that we just happened to stumble upon! We loved the ship...it was well layed out and clean. There were many outside decks to sit upon and lots of waite staff to take care of you at all times. We enjoyed the cafe that stayed open 24hrs and the room service that brought out coffee and first snack of the day. The selection of food and restaurant was great and we enjoyed the staff who took good care of us. Ship Details: Ship Quality The ship was spotless at all times! Dining/Food Lots of variety and selection to choose from. The extra restaurants had a very nice ambiance when you were looking to escape the large crowds of people. Stateroom Quality We loved our room but did feel that the bed placed at the first of where you walk in was not as servicable to get around as it would have been up against the window which looked out on the promenade. Otherwise lots of cupboard and drawer space....and the safe was an excellent idea. Ship Staff Quality We felt the ship desk staff went over and above for us on a few accounts. We had an engagement and birthday which they did a few things for at no extra charge. The were friendly and very accomodating. Entertainment & Activities I would have like to see more activities such as Water melon eating contest....or pool activities to complete in. I experienced some of these many years ago on a cruise which I really enjoyed. Read this user's port of call reviews: Cozumel, Mexico; George Town, Grand Cayman Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Cozumel, Mexico We road in the coupe cars and it was ok but never seen the sites we thought we would. We rounded the island and made a few stops. The guides were great! George Town, Grand Cayman We went to see the stingrays and snorkling to gaze at the underwater creatures. I dont think anything is ever a waste of time...we enjoyed our excursion but next time may just hit a beach to do some relaxing. We only ate at the dairy queen! 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview good cruise by A Traveler from NY Sailing date: Apr 2011 Pros: great destination Cons: The staff did not enforce the rules, underage kids were iin the Jacuzzi in the adult area. The rules were not enforce by the staff. The kids had the run of the ship. The kids were in the adult only jacuzzi area and the staff did absolutely nothing. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food The waiter and assistant waiter were courteous and went out of the way to make us happy. Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities not enough variety in the entertainment. We did not here any island musicin the club (Dungeon) or in the entertainment in the top deck. It was the same music. Read this user's port of call reviews: Labadee (Cruiseline Private Island); Falmouth, Jamaica Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Labadee (Cruiseline Private Island) Great destination. Falmouth, Jamaica Great location. The Rose Hall Great House was interesting. 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?
