Royal Caribbean Miami Cruise Reviews

Traveled with my husband and two teens. Not much to do for teens. Teen club was a huge disappointment. Ship was way too crowded. Couldn't get even 1 chair near the pools. People put their stuff on the chairs for the entire day. You're constantly online waiting, even sometimes at the buffet. Food is fine, very repetitive by the 3rd day. Kids had the soda package. Half the machines ...

Blown away by this ship. Royal Carribean have put everything they have learned into one offering and it totally surpassed our expectations. A huge boat that didn’t feel crowded, with ample seating & space in every venue. Plenty of windows giving a real feeling of connection with the sea. And real memorable “highlight” areas such as the infinity pool at aft. Service and crew all ...

Overall - Amazing. Remember that this is a family friendly ship! Enjoy the kids and embrace the laughter! Or waiter Heera and our assistant waiter Arnold were 10 out of 10!!! Heera, I expect to see you in a suit! ;) Gede - Royal needs to know Gede! This gentleman was beyond amazing! 10 out of 10!! The first night, Gede came by our room and visited for a few minutes. From that short ...

Everything is a lot more crowded than you expect. You stand in line a lot. Lines for the buffet, lines for getting on and off the boat, lines for ELEVATOR, lines for any and all food or snacks. I would rather pay a bit more and travel with fewer people. Kids are everywhere unsupervised. People let their children run around by themselves. You can't get near a hot tub or pool. Even in the ...

Cruise #6 with RCI since 2012. Cost cutting to pay the $11B in pandemic bond debt has really hurt the experience. Food quality and options have declined. Service is hit or miss, with MDR and Windjammer service noticeably worse. Nickel and Diming ($20-ing and $40-ing) for things that aren't worth paying for (e.g. $35 for the escape room, $2 to play skee ball for 30 seconds) -- even the teenagers ...

After exclusively sailing on Oasis Class ships for the previous 10 years I was concerned about going down to Freedom Class with a sailing on Independence. A quick look at the recent reviews here further confirmed that this would be the worst vacation of my life… I’m very pleased to say that we thoroughly enjoyed our cruise and would absolutely sail on the Independence of the Seas again! Perhaps ...

Enjoyed our Mother-Daughter cruise. Our goal was a beach-focused cruise for 22 year old and 56 year old. We’re both experienced cruisers and have sailed Royal before as it was our family’s choice for family cruising when daughter was younger. Recently husband and I have moved back to Celebrity so i couldn’t help but view this cruise through that lens. The good: Staff was enthusiastic and ...

App was slow, Didn't hide events that were full and often hid prices till you got to the event. Food quality was inconsistent, some days it would be amazing, others bad. They nickel and dime you as well as having every event on ship consistently overpriced. An extreme lack of vegan food, which i was assured there would be plenty of options for. Would have also appreciated if the game systems they ...

Huge but spacious. Just like every ship you quickly become familiar with the layout. Plenty of complimentary eateries around the ship. Show are just as spectacular. However no indoor solarium with pool. Plenty of seats, We were rained out the first sea day and once docked, no sprinkles but heavy and steady rain. We sail with approximately 7000 passengers which approximately 2700 were children ...

Overall this is an absolutely amazing ship..leaps and bounds ahead of anything else in the RCL, NCL, or Carnival lines. We are two late-twenty/early-thirty childless females who have been on 20+ cruises and this is by far our favorite ship. It truly is unlike any other and feels like every inch of the ship was considered. We were told this sailing was one of the first at full capacity and, save ...
