Caribbean - Bahamas Cruise Reviews

The staff is wonderful. The size of the rooms are reasonable. I do not recommend 2 back to back days at sea. It got boring. I like a day at sea to relax, but 2 back to back is just too much.

As this was our first cruise, I don't have any complaints. We enjoyed ourselves very much and we're glad we chose to cruise for our anniversary.

Elevators are terrible, not coming, taking too long, crowded lobbies, etc. Getting the "ubable to allocate car" and being asked to contact guest services is infuriating. If you don't mind wasting hours of your vacation waiting for elevators then this is the cruise for you. FYI, we were in Yacht Club and other than the YC elevator situation us dire. We even got an unable to allocate car in the Yacht Club elevator. Everywhere on the ship is crowded, getting on and off the sip at ports is painful.

Amazing experience overall, all the different features in this ship were definitely a new experience, the kids water park, slides and pools were best experiences. The bridge of sights it's a must. Enjoying gelato or the chocolate at Venchi was great. The coffee, pastries and pizza are a must try. Pleasantly surprised and impressed.

We have cruised 20 plus times. We were excited to try MSC. We went with an open mind due to all of the bad reviews. I really wanted to love it but there were just too many problems and zero customer service.

Royal Caribbean continues to up its quality with its newer class of ships. The older classes need to be either refurbished or phased out. This ship and experience felt very "carnival/msc" ish. It was the "motel" experience instead of the 5 star hotel/resort quality I prefer. I chose it for the price and quick getaway. You get what you paid for. I definitely did. Was not a bad cruise, but it was different than my usual fare.

I don't think I would ever do this cruise again. It might just be me. I might not be a cruise person. I felt very claustrophobic on the ship. It was sooooooo crowded everywhere we went. I was with my 82 year old mother and had to wait for elevators with her which was unbearable. They were so full all the time. Most of the time, I would send her on the elevator so she could squeeze in and I would climb the stairs and wait for her. Most of the activities were too crowded to participate in as well and the constant staff request for reviews was just way too much. I'm flying to Hawaii next time so I can relax.

Very calm, relaxing cruise; not the extraganza like the large RCCL ships. Mostly older crowd (30s,40s,50s) although there were also a sizable amount of college-age passengers and families with kids. Food is great; the Blu has a good menu and the food in the buffet area is very diverse with good quality. The specialty sushi restaurant was not that great however. Both ports were okay although Coco Cay didn't seem to have much staff to serve drinks around the lagoon area. Also, there was no DJ at the lagoon this time around; most of the music was disappointing. Overall however it was a good cruise and a more traditional experience.

Overall great experience, amazing service, and would book again!

As a first cruise goer, I had a great time. Plenty of things to do on board, and the same at each port. Would definitely go on another one

My family and I recently sailed on allure of the seas for 4th of July out of port Canaveral and we started out having an amazing trip until we didn’t. My whole family got diarrhea the 3 day of travel and ruined our experience. Some of us were in shows running out of them to get to the bathroom and others never made it out of the room and had to spend the rest of the evening in cabin because of how bad it was. It’s been a week since we have got off board and some of us are still having issues and others have recovered. This is awful and we heard of something spreading on the ships and I called to inquire before the cruise and was told that they were aware but that it was still safe to sell. Obviously it was not if you guys have not resolved the issues or whatever this bacteria or disease is. Our family wants some type of retribution for this. This is not how we want our experience especially when we are celebrated birthdays and it’s supposed to be a great experience.

This was primarily for the grandkids, we prefer longer cruises ourselves. Overall they were happy with the cruise.

Starting with my travel agent Lisa Lupien, , awesome thank you. The trip was awesome. As well. Loved it all. Would go on Allure of the seas again. Staff was great too.

The cruise was super relaxing and fun. We truly enjoyed our experience at coco bay and Bimini. The water was beautiful and was so nice to be in with the hot sun. The food was amazing in the main dining room and we looked forward to dinner every day. The bacon and breakfast was super crunchy and delicious which we loved but the poached eggs were more soft boiled than poached but it can be understood due to the amount of people that were being catered to. But truly the staff and the shows are what made the experience amazing. Our experience wouldn’t have been the same without Alit, Raj, and Jisrael. And the broadway night and the Las Vegas singer night were so truly enjoyable.

Pros - Overall very good experience, cruise staff is very nice and polite, plenty of food choices. Rooms maintained well. Cons - too much crowded, not many activities compare to other cruises, Dining doesn't have much food choices, not much AC in elevators and Buffet meals. too much waiting time at elevators.

It was a descent cruise. Overall MSC was not worth me switching from NCL. The best thing was ocean cay.

We had a great time and majority of the staff is amazing. There is a charge that was put through on my card after the trip that needs to be explained.

Wonderful Cruise to Bahamas out of Baltimore. Food and service in the main dining room was outstanding. Lunch at Guy Fieri's Burger Joint and BlueIguana cantina was awesome. Fitness center was great. More than enough cardio equipment and very well-maintained workout equipment. The entire staff and crew were outstanding.

I probably would not chose this boat again. I think we paid more than it was worth. However, the staff were attentive, and we had no real issues while on board.

Excellent service and entertainment! Okay food. Definitely would sail again.
