Caribbean Cruise Reviews

A very enjoyable experience I would consider Royal Caribbean again. We prefer a smaller ship and a true promenade deck is a plus - Vision of the Seas checked off both these boxes.

Overall a good cruise, nice to start from NY with mild waters and then after day 2 , getting warm. Weather was fantastic in carribean

Don not cruise with these guys. Awful service. No proper entertainment, and the timings for kids sore are a sick joke.

Enjoyed the experience but probably would lean more toward the newer ships

We will be cruising again on Enchanment and then later on Vision. We really enjoy RC cruises but still believe Celebrity to be one class above. Of course, this shows in the price.

Horrible and Tiny rooms, poor DJ and music. Stale ship design. Bad ship. Pick something else.

I paid bill a day prior to disembarkation endedup having stay line to pay addl charge of $6.50. Appeal for restaurant overcharge was never resolved so watch your bill for unauthorzed charges/ unexcussable!

Had a very good time. Worth it for anyone looking for a short getaway. Good for group of friends as well as a family get away.

A great itinerary and food overcame the poor service

I like the cruise I had never to been to 'Haiti'. Key West is always a fun place to visit. The private island in Haiti is nothing more than an overpriced resort with private cabanas costing up to $600/pp for the day. They did have some local vendors selling souvenirs and such, but they were too pushy for me so we left that area. They had a barbecue lunch for guests, but I didn't eat there as there were flies all over the food. Don't expect to see 'Haiti' (its a private land for RC), but the beaches are nice and it was a great spot to relax for the day.

Wierd ship. Would definitely avoid the "Large Balcony" category on Deck 9 due to the slamming door and opt for the large balconies near 11075 where people can't spit on your balcony and the elevators are close.

Ok cruse, mediocre food, got Covid, testing should be required, inappropriate all gay show not for a general audience.

Good cruise, some things to work on but very pleasant.

Fabulous trip and enjoyed leaving the cold and venturing into the warmth of the Caribbean.

There were 4,600 passengers on this cruise, but it rarely felt overcrowded. We did not wait in line for dinner or shows. Freestyle cruising is great! The ship was clean and nice, the staff was friendly. The food was very good, so was the onboard experience. However not much to do in port unless you book an excursion and those were hit or miss, see above. The gym and spa were excellent. Because this was high season there were always other ships in each port. That made time off the ship difficult. Everything on shore was crowded and the excursions were overcrowded because people were all there at the same time from all the 3 or 4 other ships all there at the same time. The disembarkation experience ruined the trip though. It was so stressful because there were no cabs. It would have been fine if I had booked the bus through NCL. Those seemed to be running reliably. I know NCL does not control the cabs, but it was absolute chaos. I hope they learn from this and coordinate better with the port in the future, or at least notify passengers that you will not be able to get a cab so at least they have been warned. We were all blindsided.

Ship was very nice and didn’t feel crowded. Getting off the boat at Nassau wasn’t worth it to us due to the crowd and locals harassing you right when you get through the gate. Coco Cay was wonderful and can’t wait to return!

Overall we had a good time. We are a family of 3 with a 12 yo son, traveling with another family with a 15 yo son. The boys had a good time, I was surprised they did not use the teen club, Galaxy Pavilion or slides as much as I thought they would. Good was fair, some things were great (the bar menu at the Local and salmon) and some things were consistently not good (the steak and seafood). Room service was also not good and on sea days took FOREVER to receive (over an hour and by then hot items cold, cold items warm). Also, there is a surcharge for room service. Service in general was lacking. There were a few occasions we received good service (mostly in the restaurants during dinner and the outside bar on deck 18), but overall I felt as if I was being a bother when I needed to ask for something. Also I found it extremely annoying that, while you can sign up for a tender group, they do not provide ANY time of time estimate. So you basically have to get up and be ready to go by the time you dock, as you have no idea when they are going to start calling groups.

Even though there were not a whole lot of activities that the kids could participate in, we always found some way to entertain ourselves. The food was absolutely wonderful, the service was excellent, the stateroom was nicely kept and well designed, and there were lots of things to see places to enjoy.

I loved every moment of the vacation! Can’t wait until next year! Everything was on point. I will be on the Norwegian Viva next year!

The cruise was good but due to a passenger mishap we were late getting on board. I drove from Tampa and actually wasted half of my day not being able to board when I was to board. When we did get on the ship was late. Hope folks can be reimbursed something. Otherwise it was okay. Food selection can be better also.
