Wonderful cruise! by
A Traveler from Michigan Sailing date: Feb 2013Pros: All the activities and the friendly staff Cons: dinner seating arrangement were not as requested Very clean and lots of activities for all ages. Our family group, from ages 62 to 3 years all enjoyed it. Ship Quality
Dining/FoodDining was excellent, missed the 5 star because we were not seated together as a group as requested. Had to spend an hour fixing our seating arrangements on first day. I had called twice to make sure our seating was correct and told we would all be together (we had a family of 15 in 4 rooms). Stateroom Quality
Ship Staff Quality
Entertainment & ActivitiesWe did not care for the Saturday Night Fever show. The other shows we watched were fabulous. Children's ProgramsThe younger kids enjoyed it (ages 3-8), but our older grandchildren (ages 11) did not. They went the first day and did not want to return. They didn't like the activities. 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful.

Birthday Cruise by
A Traveler from Michigan Sailing date: Jan 2013Pros: The balcony of our room - all the way aft- leaving all our cares behind..... Cons: The pool towel service is worse than awful! You have to stand in a long line to return a dirty towel.... who needs that on vacation....lines.....for dirty towels! The Promenade is wonderful, the shows were wonderful - the food, not so much....the service could have been better. And there was so much smoking on the ship - are we in 2013 or in 1950? Ship QualityThere were a lot of rooms that we did not see much - I think they need to plan more for the Sphinx room - it was lovely. Dining/FoodI thought Royal Caribbean was of higher class.... i think it ranks more in line with Carnival. That was not my impression going in.... Stateroom QualityThe bedding was very comfortable - the bathroom amenities...not so much. Ship Staff QualityEveryone was very nice. Entertainment & ActivitiesReally enjoyed the quality of the shows. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Not the best one we have been on by
Jill S from Chicago Sailing date: Feb 2012Pros: The weather Cons: Staff seemed "off" The ship was ok. You could feel the ship moving a lot - more than when we were on the Freedom. It was clean, but the cleaning carts were in the hallways at all times. The chairs by the pool were so tightly packed together there was zero space to get between them. People had to climb onto their chairs from the front. The boat was packed like I have never seen before. Dining/FoodFood was very good. Chops and Portifinos were outstanding. Stateroom QualityStateroom was nice. Ship Staff QualityLike I stated above- the crew seemed "off". Like they were all having a bad day. There were a couple that were friendly, but for the most part the majority seemed to be in a bad mood. The guy at the excursions desk was down right arrogant. Entertainment & ActivitiesThe shows were nice. Hairspray on the Oasis has been the best show by far though from all the RC ship's I have been on. Loved that one!! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

A not-so-relaxing-cruise by
Judith A. from Bradenton Beach, FL Sailing date: Dec 2008Pros: beautiful ship, excellent music, great talent in the shows - but not so great shows Cons: too many people, too much noise, too crowded, had to arrive 40 min. early for shows, fees for gym classes The above comments basically summarize our feelings. We are unlikely to travel again with such a large group of people. Ten years ago we sailed on other RCL ships and had a terrific experience, but not this time. Ship Qualitya gorgeous vessel Dining/Foodadequate but not impressive Stateroom Quality
Ship Staff Quality
Entertainment & Activitiestoo many activities geared towards families and youth, not to seniors like us - although the dancing was enjoyable.

The ship was beautiful, very family frie by
Kerry from Dardanelle, AR Sailing date: Jun 2007Pros: The size, there are no many to list. Trip was great the ports were super, we had quite a few clothes ruined because of the cleaning of hand rails and everything on board. Entertainment & ActivitiesActivities: The ship was 5+Stars but with the virus on board we had clothes complete Ruined, my suit, and my wifes two evening gowns, because of the bleach cleaners, I would guess we ruined 1500.00 worth of dress clothes.

Cozumel, MexicoGreat place to shop for about anything you want.
We have been here 4-times we did a lot of our shopping her the price is right.
Don't Miss: Do the local vendors they will work with you on prices. Labadee (Cruiseline Private Island)The high light of the trip, the island was beautiful. The water and area was something I will always remember.
Want to go back. Nice & relaxing.
Don't Miss: Just relax and take a swim its a beautiful place. George Town, Grand CaymanPretty water, the place is getting so croweded we have been here 4 times now and I can see where the population has grown.
Enjoyed seeing the island just doing tours.
Don't Miss: Do the stingrays its something that is a must. Montego Bay, JamaicaNice place. I would recommend to some one that has never been here to do it at least once. I think it is dirty compared to the last time we were here ( 2004 ).
The local vendors were to pushy trying to make a sell.
Don't Miss: Take some of the local history tours. 34 out of 50 people found this review helpful.
