Fine ship lacking entertainment and quality of food
"So that makes it impossible to watch a show there, made even more difficult because at the MTDinner it was so hard to make reservations at the requested times.So the best was to make reservations at the MDR desk...."Read More

Cost cutting throughout, below RC Standards

Despite prices rising the last few years across all of RC’s ships, the cost cutting continues. Once a day stateroom service is a joke. RC should be embarrassed by this. When I was at guest services for a different matter, they grasped at straws to come up with explanations, or as I called them, excuses, as to why this was the case. My favourite was, “well all inclusive resorts only offer once a ...

A family of 14 travelled to Fort Lauderdale for an incredible gift from my mom on this adventure. I haven't been cruising for about 10 years (raising my kids) and I really loved my return to open water! Good things: 1. The ship was well maintained and flowed nicely. Our cabin and room attendant was 5star plus. 2. The windjammer was better than I remembered. 3. The ports of call ...

For the amount of money we paid for this cruise. It was not worth it. 1. Our balcony room couch/bed was like a hard block. We had to double up on comforters for the kids to sleep better. 2. the stateroom attendant was never around. We had to constantly call for towels, toilet paper, tissues. 3. the Windjammer food was the same for breakfast every day and even during lunch and dinner ...

I have 12 Royal cruises under my belt before this and number 13 was NOT the lucky one. I cruised with my wife and my 17 year old son. This was the first RC cruise I went on where I did not have that, "I want to come back" feeling. The GOOD 1. Our waiter in the main dining room was spectacular. She was the shinning star of the cruise. 2. The casino was less smokey compared to other ...

First and foremost, we only sail Royal. I want to start this off by praising the staff onboard. This is not possible without this amazing staff. My favorite part of any cruise we do is meeting the staff and feeling a warm greeting. We have been on 9 cruises now all with Royal. The ships are great and the shows are awesome. Thank you to every single staff members. You are what makes Royal the best. ...

We were on the ship as part of the Park West VIP program. Our previous cruise ships were in the 2200-3300 passenger range or smaller, so this was a departure in size, over 50% larger than our previous cruises. For the most part the ship accommodates the number of passengers well but they didn't increase the number or size of the bars and lounges enough to take the increased passenger load into ...

We chose Odyssey of the Seas, because we have kids ages 10, 5 and 2, and there seemed to be a lot to do. The bumper cars were one of the things we were looking forward to, only to find out it’s almost a 2 hour wait! We waited in line for about an hour before we said we are wasting our time. Wish they would designate times for certain ages. The ship has a rule you can’t save poolside lounges, ...

A little about us: we just retired at the ages of 59 and 63 and this was our 25th cruise (I think). We primarily sail with Royal and Norwegian. We are Emerald status with Royal. We booked this cruise 48 hours before sailing! We were told we booked the last available cabin on the ship which was an inside cabin. We always book a balcony but decided to go with it since we were getting a ...

I travelled with my two kids under 3, husband and parents. Firstly , the pack and play they provide for babies is disgusting- it’s hard plywood and I wouldn’t make my worst enemy sleep on that. Because of this- my kids had to sleep with me the entire vacation… the food was terrible , poor selection and taste and quality was poor. Service was just okay, nothing compared to the service I’ve received ...

This will be the first and last time we cruise with Royal Caribean in any capacity. The food was all around pretty terrible, every soda machine except for 1 was broken during our first 5 days, the remaining that did work had very limited options as all diet options were sold out after day 2. You would think a cruise ship of this size would have a repair man so customers aren't all waiting 30 ...
