Caribbean - Western Cruise Reviews

The cruise was really nice. Only 38% capacity. Venues not full. Pools not crowded. No waiting anywhere.

Beautiful ship, great service, clean and very relaxing

Royal Caribbean has gone to great lengths to safeguard your health. I felt safer among 1500 vaccinated adults that had all been tested in the last 3 days than I do at home in any restaurant or store. The ship was at less than 50% occupancy, no waiting any where.

It was great to get back to cruising, while there were some differences, like having to wear masks in some public venues it was great.

After four COVID cancellations, we were thrilled to be back Cruising, and pleased that the COVID nonsense wasn't bad at all. The Independence was wonderful and the Owners' Suite and amenities were fantastic. Great return to Cruising and can't wait until our April Cruise.

Great food, amicable staff, great COVID-19 protocols, tons of entertainment options, clean ship and a fun filled itinerary.

This was a very relaxing cruise. Our main disappointment was the last minute notice that we could not take self guided excursions on two of the islands. the last island sold out of the basic beach excursion leaving the more expensive excursions available. We just stayed on the boat. The cruise line did their best to make up for it.

If you get a chance to sail on Symphony of the Seas - it is the best ship in Royal Caribbean's fleet. And make sure you visit the specialty restaurant "Central Park 150". Ask for Ben to be your waiter - he went above and beyond. The entertainment on this ship is awesome. Plus, we traveled when there was only 1700 guests (out of almost 6,000). The Oasis class ships are the best at sea.

In summary.....overall, best cruise I've had. The main things I will do different next time will be to book direct through Royal Caribbean, get an upgraded room. And rely on them for better details about the contract excursion companies and sites. Also, easier to make changes working direct with the cruise line. Sorry ....but I won't use you again.

I highly recommend cruising right now. I felt very safe, and the low passenger numbers made everything about it very easy.

Better than expected cruise even with evolving protocols for pandemic. Masking and testing was not too much hassle to enjoy much needed family time. Carnival did a great job.

overall we had a great time, our first port was not open so we were at sea an extra day, we thought highly of our room steward, he was the best. (Ade) Casino was great, except for the smokers..... the lower casino on deck 4 was just not the same.... (Casino should be smoke free on board inside like the rest of the ship)

This cruise was just my husband and I. We only had one thing we would have changed about our trip and that would have been winning at the casino. We had zero complaints. It was relaxing and fun and we cant wait to get back to having fun.

This was by far the best cruise I've ever had. The staff went above and beyond and were so excited to have us on board. Embarking and debarkation were smooth and easy, and the health protocols on board made me feel completely safe. Entertainment was fantastic and the reduced capacity was great. Allure has now become my favorite ship.

It was my first time ever. I enjoyed every destination , activity and meal. The staff was very friendly, attentive and they made my trip even more enjoyable ! I enjoyed both ports of call and I loved Bimini the most !

A beautiful ship with first class entertainment, a top notch crew, a wonderful, concerned dining room staff. It was so nice to be on the Symphony of the Seas return to cruising maiden trip. All of the ships staff was extremely gracious and happy to see us on the ship even though our numbers were few.

Excellent cruise, everyone inside the ship was very polite, and nice, and made sure the ship was always clean, and CoVID free.

Reduced capacity was great. Would feel very tight at full capacity

Excellent I like everything ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Extremely happy with everything, we got 5-star treatment, worth every single penny
