On the day of the cruise we flew into Newark, NJ and had prepaid the RC shuttle from the airport to the cruise port. There were about 80 people at the airport terminal and they sent one bus which only holds 50 people so after waiting two hours in 90 degree heat a second bus finally arrived. We got to the ship a little after 2PM. Since they knew how many people had signed up there was no excuse for ...
We were looking forward to this cruise, but compared to Mediterranean cruises, the ports were very ordinary.
The cut backs are a major disappointment. While I can deal with only one servicing of your room a day. Gone are kettles to make your morning cuppa, or one in the night when you can’t sleep. The food has been cut back to an unexceptionable level. Who doesn’t like ice cream with a ...
I enjoyed this cruise, but prefer the Oasis class versus the Freedom class (first time). I have been on the Voyager of the Seas, Serenade of the Seas, Brilliance of the Seas, Oasis of the Seas (2x), and Radiance of the Seas.
I sailed on the Liberty of the Seas on 8/24 (first cruise of season) packed for totally different weather. Bring pants and jackets. Do not expect to be able to sit out on ...
I love this ship. I've sailed on her twice and would go again. My only complaint is they need the drink fountains that come with the amped ships. We skipped the soda package, because standing at the bar to get my kids a soda is a waste of everyone's time. Other than that, we had a fabulous cruise. We had a really foggy sea day, which was interesting and fun! The fog horn going on all night ...
My daughter chose this cruise because it was before the school year started. Young children have many things to do. However, it was very crowded and extremely noisy everywhere. The entertainment was excellent. The casino was very Smokey and unpleasant. They had outdated stools to sit on and very few comfortable chairs. The machines are quite outdated and uninspiring. The video poker inventory was ...
A cruise ship this size is really impressive the first time you are on one. It's is older but looked great to us. We liked the ship, our cabin, the ports we visited and the shows very much. We even got used to the 80s music all over so that we missed it when we got home. It was very cheerful and so are the staff, who are well trained. I have never had so many people trying so hard to make me ...
The best part of this cruise was the two days in port at Bermuda. For the most part the food on this cruise was less than delectable. The upgraded meal at the reservation required restaurants was a bit pricey but better. The my time dining feature was horrible because there was always a twenty minute wait on a line to be seated. The cruise is targeted for the over 50 crowd, there was no sail ...
The staff was phenomenal!! Our room attendant was so nice and caring and even gave us extra care. The food was so so good and the homemade bread at the main dinning room was so good!! I never had a bad meal even in the buffet. The servers were so sweet and always made sure you were well taken care of. I always felt safe on the cruise on the ship and off. All the staff greeted you with a smile even ...
I chose this cruise because it was going to Haiti and Dominican Republic, some of the elevator buttons don’t work, some of the elevator call buttons don’t work. The carpets have fade marks on them as if someone vomited on them. (9th floor aft lobby). The electronics in the room are dated No USB plug ins. And they claim that medium shrimp are Tiger shrimp or Jumbo. The only way to get smaller ...
We sailed on Liberty with a group of three: my partner and I (mid/late 30s) and his son (9). This was my third experience with Royal as an adult, second for my partner, and the kiddo's very first cruise.
We chose this sailing because we wanted to leave from a port within driving distance of our home in central NY and because I love Bermuda. On the whole, our experiences were positive.
