I liked the new themed menus each night in the main dining room, and I like that they brought out plenty of bread in bread baskets at the beginning of the meal so that we didn't have to wait for waiters to deliver more. Service was excellent as always.However, my daughter ordered the seafood pasta one night and there was no sauce on the pasta. The Chicken Parmesan at Jamie's did not come

The food was mediocre at best. I was so disappointed with it that I actually went to the desk and asked for a meeting with the Exec Chef. I am Platinum in Carnival and NCL and I never had to go to the desk for an issue. Additionally the bed kept on poking me in the back for the first two nights so I finally said something to the room steward. Then he put some extra padding which helped. For Royal

Just came home yesterday from a 10 day cruise aboard Liberty of the Seas. I would prefer to give a 3 and 1/2 star experience, but I selected 4 as it was closer to 4 starts than 3. This is a ship that while enjoyable, seemed very packed and not well planned out. Windjammer, so poorly architected. So many choke points while trying to get your food and then such a lack of tables.

My recent experience on Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Seas was extremely disappointing. From the moment we boarded, it became evident that the primary focus was on upselling and extracting as much money as possible from guests, rather than providing a quality vacation experience. Everything seemed to have an additional cost, from basic amenities to activities that should have been included in

It was my boyfriend’s first ever cruise, and my 6th cruise! My prior cruise experiences include 3 Disney cruises with my family when I was in high school, 1 Carnival cruise in 2017, and 1 Royal Caribbean cruise in 2018 (on the Mariner of the Seas). This time we cruised from June 17th- June 21st, 2024 on the Freedom of the Seas. The itinerary included one day in Nassau, 1 day at Coco Cay, and one

There were five of us traveling from ages 21 years old to 51 years old, we had the drink packages. We ate breakfast in the Windjammer together, lunch and snacks all over the ship on our own and dinner at the dining room together nightly. The food (taste and prsentaton), service (all areas), pools (adult and family), Casion, and entertainment (shows, games, music, parties, karaoke, etc.) were

Boat is old and it shows. Paint comes off in all the hot tubs on your swimsuit and its impossible to get off. Ruined several people's suits. Boat is small and has 3 restaurants, 1 is a steakhouse (pay not included) and 1 is a buffet. There were no shows at all the entire cruise. One time a comedian made an appearance and everyone I spoke with thought he was awful. Constant pressure to purchase

We had junior suite. Much much smaller than junior suites on other RCCL ships. Not even allowed in suite lounge. Was told this ship only did not honor junior suites. Water park was good but 45 minute waits. We had specialty dining at IZUMI. Booked 4 months prior to cruise. Was told day of reservation they accidentally gave our reservation away and had hard time getting money back. Food was

We will miss you Allure. Our final cruise on the Allure before she moves to Miami began as usual with effortless embarkation and a hearty greeting from the crew. First stop, the Crown Lounge for coffee where we met ourhost. We then found our balcony cabin which was exactly, to the foot, halfway between elevators. The room was very clean and setup per RCL's excellent standards. Our room steward

We have cruised with Royal Caribbean exclusively for the last 17 years. We are currently on our 9th or 10th cruise (lost count). We are on symphony of the seas, sailed from NJ to the Bahamas. This will be most definitely our last cruise. The last time we sailed was in 2019. First the good is that the ship is absolutely beautiful, lots of activities, friendly staff, and excellent shows. We are a
