Royal Caribbean Serenade of the Seas Cruise Reviews

My sister and her hubby had chosen this cruise over a year ago and we thought it would be fun to join them for the 10 days. Our mom had passed in November and this was a way of celebrating her life. She loved cruising and margaritas so we signed up for the trip. We left our east coast Florida home on the 17th and spent the night in Ybor city about 3 miles from the cruise terminal. We chose ...

we chose this cruise due to its price and the itinerary. the countries were beautiful and the excursions were very fun, however almost everything on the boat is an upcharge of a ridiculous amount. alcoholic drinks were near 20$, the internet was slow and just about 100$ for a week for only one device, t shirts are near 30$, 24 water bottles were 36$. ended up almost spent another 1000$ just for ...

This cruise was chosen by my parents, a family holiday over Christmas, which SHOULD and COULD have suited all generations. Whilst we knew the age of the ship was older (it’s certainly over due a refurb) and therefore it doesn’t offer the bells and whistles of the newer/ bigger ships in RCs fleet, there is frankly no excuse for the way in which this ship has been maintained. Whilst I would say it ...

I chose this cruise as we were on a family holiday in Florida and wanted to add on a Christmas sailing for all three generations.Us young at heart 70 year olds, daughter and son in law and their 2 children ,2yrs and 5 years. First of all there were noticeable signs of wear and tear, but none of that duly bothered me as I know a refurb is due. The cabins seem smaller than usual, and although ...

It was great cruising from Tampa as we are only a 15 min. drive from the port. The ship and the junior suite we were in was much better than I expected. The junior suite was bigger and better than other RCCL ships we have been on. The ship was just refurbished in early 2022 and showed it. The cabin attendant made sure that our three simple requests were met each day. The best was we told ...

It is clear the cruise industry is struggling with getting experienced help and cutting corners wherever they can. The dining room food was so bad, we only at there 3 nights and gave up. Everything was old, dry, tasteless. Really...I haven't seen food this bad since the old days when a Carnival cruise was $400 for the week. It took around an hour and 15 min from seating to dinner. We never ...

Loved visiting all of the Bahamas ports. Bimini was a beautiful beach stop. Did the Jeep tour in Nassau and had a fun time. Food was great. Cruise director Jamie is a hoot! Loved the 70’s disco party. Ship is smaller than the mega ships but she’s beautiful and well maintained. We had the best service in the main dining room and a wonderful lunch at Izumi. Highly recommend Izumi and I don’t eat ...

Wanted a Holiday sailing out of Tampa this fit the criteria. This being an older ship I was very surprised and happy at her lovely spaces. The crew were the stand out stars, except for guest relations go figure. We would sail her again tomorrow if we could. We were in a suite and the Suite concierge Christian Dellosa had elevated attention to detail. The lively Pinnacles shared our lounge and ...

Cruise was used to host a reunion of U.S. Navy shipmates. 5-Day cruise was perfect for the event. Good itinerary with some at-sea days thrown in. Guest services very accommodating. Provided a conference room for meetings and a senior ship's officer to address the group. Ship arranged dinner tables clustered together. As is the custom on Royal Caribbean ships, a special veterans/first responder ...

We had FCC to use so picked a fun and relaxing cruise and we were pleasantly surprised by the gorgeous weather and fabulous crew.. Vancouver and Victoria were so beautiful, and had great time in San Francisco. The crew was amazing. Everyone was so friendly and caring and it showed. Really made you feel appreciated and special. I think everyone was just so happy to be back to more regular cruising ...
