Although I didn’t pay too much for the balcony cabin. Buy my experience towards Royal Caribbean had dropped to the bottom and I don’t think I’ll cruise with them anymore! I’m a platinum member almost in diamond but I don’t think I’m going to reach to that level at all! The overall quality were terrible and most disappointed in food, entertainment and kids activities! And the itinerary were not good! In the way back from Cosmos the ship were not smooth and it was very rough that most people were feeling sea sick! Even after few days later. I still can’t stand properly on the ground. Feeling dizzy and uncomfortable! My daughter had this problem even a week later. She also is a platinum member! What more can I say about this cruise? I’ll go with other cruise line from now on!

Nothing good or bad

Food and Dining

Very disappointed with all the food on board! I can cook better taste than these tasteless dishes! The worst was all the restaurants closed early and almost at the same time! And every restaurant served the same food. Unless you pay for it! I was fed up eating and was bored to tears!
Onboard Activities
1 out of 5
Very small places for karaoke . My daughter wanted to sing , but can’t find any songs for her and no seats to sit, plus there is a bar right next to the stage , where people were watching NBA , all the shouting and yelling very badly interrupted and interfered with the performance ( can’t hear people singing) ! Im amazed that this ship is so big why they build a such tiny place for entertainment! And have to share with the bar! Even the host said. The bar people cheering are not for the singer! How awful! So! If you like singing at karaoke bar you need to forget it! My living room is bigger than this tiny karaoke stage. What a waste time and money!
Entertainment

What a lousy show! I’ve never missed any shows during my 20+ cruises in the past! This time. I’ve only seen one show! With 4 men singing that’s all! During the shows, I saw many people were just stood up and leave. How embarrassed! I stayed till the end. Not because I like the show, I was counting how many people left there before the shows end! And of course. I missed the rest of the shows !

Well. I’m sorry. I should have not giving such low stars. But my cabin service were terrible, she doesn’t clean my cabin properly! I was in the cabin. She came in and out less than 5 minutes! ( twice ! When I was waiting at the balcony). She never changed the bedding!
Ship Quality

Not impressed at all! Maybe I’ve been crushing too many times. But Royal Caribbean cruise line is getting worse ever!

Ship tip
Nothing to share but if you really want to go. Please take a kettle. A cooking pot and a pen and paper to write!
It’s a joke to be there! Only few shops there and nothing to buy. I only spent $2.99! It was raining heavily that day. Lots of people were soaking wet!
I will not go to this place ever again. The worst port to visit! Shop owners were rude and aggressive arrogant! But thank you all! I didn’t spend any penny there!
Can’t remember how many times to this port? Always good to shop here but you get what you pay for! I have always go shopping at Maga supermarket there!
Oh my God! This must be my worst ever experience! I was pleased at first. That we were allowed to waited in our cabin till they called out! But entering the terminal was like a refugee!!!👎
I agree with this review. One night on Royal Caribbean the buffet which was smaller than my high school lunchroom One of their main dishes was beef with pasta It was actually macaroni and cheese with sliced hot dogs hot dogs and macaroni and a $5,000 cruise I've been on much much older ships even Royal Caribbean ships that had much better dining. Also with the food if you don't make reservations for my time dining it's a minimum 40 minutes problem is Royal Caribbean doesn't understand that they were 6,000 people on board all the restaurants close early and you get all you get is a slice of pizza and one counter to serve 6,000. I have cruise Royal Caribbean many times I think they've gone to the point now where they want you to buy the upcharge dining they're doing it also by making beef free food options almost zero with poor poor quality what next they're going to charge me extra for the use of their floors and carpet when I walk around
If you want your cabin “properly” cleaned, then please leave the cabin. It’s that simple. Of course it’s not getting cleaned because you’re in it at the moment. Most of the negativity in your review was due to personal preference or weather, which is out of Royal Caribbeans control.
I do with agree with you that cruising has changed. Some for the good and some for the bad. I choose to make the best of each experience, and I encourage you to as well.
Many things have changed all over the world due to COVID. We just have to adjust and learn to navigate the changes that have been made.
We were on this same cruise and had a wonderful time! MDR food and service was great! Yes, seas were rough on last 2 days, but RCCL is NOT responsible for that. You do know that neither the cruise line nor the captain can control the weather or sea conditions?? We are Emerald and fully intend to reach Diamond! 😀
I'm always suspicious of the reviews from people with no prior cruises listed. If you're real, I apologize for questioning you, but, to downgrade a cruise bcuz of rough seas.....uuuuh, it's a ship...on the water....🤪
JT1962 cruising is not what it was 4 yrs ago for sure. But the pricing ismt either. You get what you pay for....usually. the higher the prices, the worse the food has gotten, the service average to subpar, entertainment worse, supposed supply chain issues still. Not even tomatoe juice on my last cruise. Yes weather cant be blamed on the cruiseline. But they need to get their act together as far as staffing and training.
I have to agree on the food. Our last trip with Royal in the dining room not that great. Just got off Sky Princess and the food in dining room was amazing. I was very surprised considering it’s a main stream cruise line
Sounds like cruising may no longer be for you, since you didn’t seem to like much of anything. When everything is rated as one star, it usually says much more about the attitude of the person doing the rating than the actual ship or cruise line. Cruising is not what it was, so comparing it to prior experiences will result in disappointment. Rough seas can’t be blamed on the ship or cruise line. Roatan and Costa Maya are excellent ports with lots of excursion options besides shopping.
