Caribbean - Bahamas Cruise Reviews

Overall, we had a fantastic time largely due to the Yacht Club experience. The Top Sail lounge and restaurant was fantastic as were the private area on Ocean Cay and the dedicated sun deck with pool, hot tub, plenty of loungers, bar with food, etc. Plus the whole VIP feeling! I mean, that is what vacation is all about, am I right? Treat yo' self!

This ship was coming off a transatlantic reposition and that must have led to staffing issues and quality control. I have been on 30 Royal cruises and i have never seen such dysfunction as the 1st day. Long waits for drinks bars understaffed slow bartenders. Food quality was below Golden corral standard. Terrible cuts of meat. Even had pasta at a specialty restaurant that was below chef boyrdee quality. Still a great ship with plenty to do but this sailing was off

This was our birthday and anniversary trip. The ship and its amenities were great.

We did not go to the destination I paid for, instead we went to Haiti, I would never pay to go to haiti

We are planning our next Cruise thank you Royal Caribbean for the Positive Experience!

This cruise was an extension of my daughter’s wedding in Florida. 16 of us came on board. At the last minute, we were notified that the itinerary had changed due to weather conditions. We were not going to go to Nassau, Bahamas and Coco Cay, But were redirected to Labadee. To find out later, that two other ships were at Coco Cay The day that we were supposed to be there. This was very upsetting as the point of this cruise was to go to Coco Cay. The ship itself being is very clean, but there are definitely issues that I saw. Below are a few issues that I want to express, 1. The karaoke bar is by far way too small. This is a popular venue and there is never anywhere to sit. 2. The rooms were very noisy. We could hear people walking in the hallways. We could hear the people in the room next-door to us, We did not have a connecting room. We could hear door slamming across the Hallway. We could also hear people above us walking around. For a new shift that should not be happening. 3. Went to the spy and spent almost $500. Got a massage and some acupuncture and during both procedures I could continuously hear on the deck above me being dropped because the weight area was right above where I was having these procedures done. This is not the Fault it’s a design of Royal Caribbean. I spent nearly $500 and walked out of there feeling completely relaxed relax I expressed this issue to Royal Caribbean with no offered. A resolution such as, a discount in what I paid or a future credit for my next cruise, neither. 4. The Windjammer. The layout is different than what I’m used to on other Royal Caribbean ships, but the real problem is the fact that the variety of food was so very limited and it was the same thing every single day. The food was very disappointing in the windjammer. Looking at social media, seeing that icon of the seas has crab legs and shrimp in their buffet and a much more expensive buffet than you utopia that’s really upsetting. 5. On board account. Because I had bookeed Five rooms for 10 people, there seem to be some kind of error on Royal Caribbean and regarding billing. I do believe I spent a total of close to four hours in the customer service line trying to get my bill resolved and cleared up and corrected. We were being charged for drinks, even though we had a drink package. They had our rooms intertwined regarding billing, so it was hard to differentiate who had to pay what. When you’re on vacation, you don’t want to spend a period of time at the customer service desk trying to get things cleared up let alone having to do it multiple times. This is Our vacation that we pay a lot of money for and wasting our time standing in line is very very frustrating. 6. Labadee, why does royal crib continue to go there. If you look on the travel advisories for the United States Citizens, I believe it’s a level four, which means we should not be going there. I know that I can choose to go on a cruise that doesn’t go there, but Royal Caribbean chose for me that I was going to go there. This whole party very much. We had zero interest in going to Labadee. To find out the night before, that’s exactly where we were going. To find out a few days later that there were two ships in Port instead of our ship. This was very upsetting. 7. Entertainment. And the day of embarkation we tried to book The entertainment shows and we were unable to. On a four day cruise there’s not enough offered for the amount of people on board. So we got to see none of the top line shows. Yet another disappointment.

I think all my answers sum it up. I was on the ship with two of my best friends girlfriends of 45 years. We had the best time and did lots of activities along with laughing our way through the 4 days.

Fantastic cruise. Wish cruise line was staying in Charleston. A suggestion would be to make casino non smoking. We along with a couple of others did my gamble because of the smoke. Also, everyone has to walk through casino to go to shows, etc.

We are older so perhaps that influenced our opinions but except for the service and friendliness of the staff we felt celebrity has gone downhill.

Ship is showing its age. There was a complete lack of entertainment and activities on board.

Everything about this cruise was okay at best. Most first time cruisers seemed to be enjoying it but those with a few cruises under their belts seemed to feel it was lacking, myself included. We still had a good time.

This was my first cruise but definitely not my last and I'm going to keep sailing with Carnival.

The food was the only downfall. The ship was clean.

Best Birthday Yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MOVE THE SMOKING AREA TO AN OPEN DECK SECTION. Smoke remains and travels in a covered area (next to the main deck pool!) and affects everyone in proximity. Screaming kids, mediocre meal offerings,.

Celebrity is a great brand, just really disappointed in this old run down ship with employees that seemed to not be fully trained

With this being my first cruise, I didn't know what to expect. We enjoyed everyone we met and the staff we had contact with were awesome.

Kids came first they were entertained all day. Kids club was the best and staff was fantastic about their food allergies. Mom and dad had some great relaxation time.

If this was my first NCL cruise I would never use this cruise line again but had many great NCL cruise before, however if the next NCL cruise in 2025 is just as disappointing, would not return

This was our first time on an MSC ship and we've already booked our next one. The ship was very new and modern feeling. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Food was good.
