I love cruising and will always come back however I donāt want to repeat this one it just lacked too many things, it was getting hard to stay positive about the experience.
Embarkation
3 out of 5
It was very hustle and bustle trying to get a board, ādiamond plusā status didnāt matter, treated like a first time cruiser.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Usually dining is very good no matter where you eat. But this time it lacked a lot of attention and food choices. I donāt want to be filled up with cheap mashed potatoes, spaghetti, bread, fries and hotdogs. š
Onboard Activities
2 out of 5
I like to take advantage of all the ships activities, however this cruise because of cold or bad weather we could not do most of them. Got tired of all of the word games being played all over to fill in our time, got very old. However they did have a good journey tribute band on board. Movies were all kid-based. Casino was way too smoky to stay and gamble. Entertainment for the ship as a whole needed help! Exampleā¦ Cruise Director kept pushing poolside movies, I guess he didnāt realize it was 41Ā° outside and windy. Not one person was there of course š¤·š¼āāļø
Entertainment
2 out of 5
The show Spectra, The gift and we will rock you weāre all the same shows we had seen 6 years ago. Only āwe will rock youā was good but of course you have to like Queen Music. Time for RCCL to make changes.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Most services and staff were good, however bar service was bad. Especially poolside.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
Most of the common areas were well maintained, however restrooms were very dirty and the Windjammer eatery where we ate a lot was stocked with dirty plates and constant food on the floor. This is not usual for RCCL, but nevertheless it was a problem all week, couldnāt find a place to sit with food in hand. my wife and I actually started cleaning our own tables each time we went because that was the only way we were going to get a table š
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We had a Oceanview balcony, we had plenty of storage for clothes and cabin was well-maintained. ššš»
Tired of getting Asked if I wanted to buy drugs or taxi by the locals. They were very pushy and made us feel very uncomfortable. The port is dirty and has odor. Iāve been to this port over 50 times will not return.
Didnāt finish my previous post. Accidentally added comment before finishing. My wife an I were recently on Anthem of the Seas on 12-11 to 12-18 , an had a Great time. The Restrooms were clean . We didnāt really have a Problem when we first got to port liberty, check in was a breeze. other than the Weather(cold). They had plenty of Activities an shows etc for our Cruise. They even had bumper Cars an a Basketball court, as well as rock climbing , flow rider an other things . But One thing I would recommend is getting the specialty dining package. As the food in the main dining room in my opinion wasnāt all that Great.( I would recommend at least getting the 3 restaurant Package. But the food at the Windjammer an other places we ate were very Good. Iām not trying to discredit the other person who did their review , but we didnāt experience any dirty plates or silverware on our cruise. Also we could have spent 2 Days at Coco Cay . That place was a Dream. Clean , Clear Blue Water . Absolutely breathtaking . But now to a few (negatives). The seating at some of the shows were dated. Meaning the seating needed to be upgraded. (Cushions etc). Nassau is a Dirty Port. If we do go back to Nassau ,( weāll do an excursion.) as we would much rather spend 2 Days at Coco Cay.
Nassau is definitely not a port I enjoy! Burned out on it several years ago. Our upcoming cruise also ports there and it will be a good day of relaxing on the ship!
