Caribbean - Southern Cruise Reviews

It was my first cruise experience and absolutely loved it. Voyager Team did everything possible for us the passengers. The staterooms, dining rooms, bars, entertainment; everything was amazing. The itinerary itself was also great. No day loss. Cruising overnight, and waking up a new island/nation every morning. it was absolute fun! Thanks Royal Caribbean! Thanks Voyager of the Seas!

Overall a good cruise. Great food, good entertainment and wonderful service from the staff. Destinations were interesting and the tours were good.

Overall, it was a satisfactory cruise. Food, Staff and ship were very good and we added to the ships economy / bottom line through the casino! This was one of the smoothest sailing ships we have been on. The ocean was very calm on most days and we really never felt any wave motion. However, the disembarkation stained an overall pleasant cruise.

Great cruise overall with the exception of some Haven perks lost since the shutdown. Concierge services were almost not existent. I think he was overwhelmed with the job or number of guest.

NCL did a great job overall. The employees were polite, competent and professional for the most part. We had an issue occur in one of the speciality restaurants and reported it to customer service. They handled it in a professional manner which satisfied us.

NIce ship. Good pace between ports and at sea days.

I would not recommend the Horizon, the buffet was terrible,the waitstaff in the dining room was slow, the entertainment was very limited,our bed was too hard it made our backs hurt.

It was fun because of who we were with, the CD and the entertainment. I had heard such good things about this ship which was not completely our experience.

not very good. You even have to pay for popcorn now at the dive in movie! That used to be free

Great cruise with wonderfully beautiful and scenic ports of call. The Ocean Suite was roomy and comfortable. The cabin stewards. The cruise director kept it interesting on the sea days with his wit and humor.

Overall this was a pretty good cruise ship. I love the larger cruise ships better just because my first cruise was on the Allure of the Seas. There are some things I would change as far as the pictures starting first with the photo poses not being the same at all booths everyday.

The cruise was great but the dinner staff was the best.

Overall my wife and I enjoyed it and will be cruising with celebrity cruises again

From the very start of booking the cruise, it's 'buyer beware!'. I booked ours through , lured by such come-ons as 'up to $250 to spend on board', 'up to $1,500 EXTRA to spend on board or prepaid Visa', etc. etc. Only AFTER booking the cruise and paying the non-refundable deposit did I find out that the 'special bonus' was only on-board credit of $50. A very big difference! That credit did go up to $75 on-board credit by cruise time, but they know that it's only a drop in the bucket for what the total bill will end up. The total cruise an 8-day cruise or the Dutch West Indies for two people in an interior cabin with a big TV screen to view the outside world instead of a window, was $1,591. But that's only the beginning. What's not explained from the start is that each person will automatically be charged $16 per person for each day of the cruise for staff gratuities. That is acceptable, considering the great service you get on-board, but they've just automatically added $256 to the 8-day cruise. So much for the $75 on-board credit! From the time I purchased the two fares from , I've felt like a leech had attached itself to me, trying to drain me at least another $1,000. They also allow you to bring on board 12-20 oz or less beverages. If you can make that last for 8 days between two people, more power to you! Otherwise ALL other beverages cost money, including water! Can you imagine? Even water is held for ransom on board a Royal Caribbean ship! I did find two water fountains in the exercise room that I could fill bottles from, but other than that I would have to buy one of their beverage packages. At first, I was tempted to buy just the refreshments package, which they list as being $36/day. With tax that would have added $340 for just one person to drink only carbonated beverages for the 8 days! There's no way that I'd be able to drink enough every day to justify that. So, I toughed it out with refilling from the water fountains in the exercise room. At least RC has the heart to keep fitness-conscious people hydrated and didn't have a soda machine for them instead. Of course, now that I mentioned surviving off of that for the 8 days, they probably will! On board, the roulette Dealer, at about 3:30 pm on Fri 4/21, literally cheated me out of about $20 payout on one play. For verification of the dealer's cheat, check the security footage from the casino from that day. She paused the game to verify my claim of my chip placement because this inexperienced, incompetent dealer thought the chips weren't place properly. The players both to my right and left verified my claim. Then when the pit boss told the dealer to pay me, she paid me for a single chip when there were four on that spot. The security footage will bear that out. And bring shampoo! RC advertises that they provide the soap and shampoo, but what they're referring to is a 3-in-1 liquid. If you want a better quality shampoo and/or conditioner and/or body wash, you'd have to bring it. The food in the main dining and the self-serve cafeteria was great and a good quality, served by some great wait staff! What a great opportunity to try out food that I wasn't accustomed to ordering. It made the on-board experience bearable. Be mindful, though of Johnny Rockets! There are no prices on their menus and the waiter who we had the first day was literally making up the prices in his head as we were inquiring about the different offerings! I guess whatever prices he felt were appropriate for the day/time/his personal wallet shortages, is what he came up with.

We enjoyed our vacation. Internet connectivity which we purchased was inadequate. However, they did discount our internet fees substantially.

My only problem was with the drink package. Had to by 1 and 2nd one half off. My Mom does not drink. So we were both charged $672.00 EACH.

Good comedy acts. Love the live orchestra. Liked the improved new menu.

We had a great time on the Crusie. The staff off the Vision of the Seas spoiled us at every turn.

It seem like MSC only gets better and better the food the staff and the entertainment keep on Curising.

Really nice ship and great crew. Food good. Great for families. And they still offer solo sailing options other lines don't. However, some MSC rules were silly to stupid and need to be re-thought.
