Review summary

Over all ok, But I have found while on cruise and afterwards , That the customer service isn't all that helpful and bordering useless. Biggest problem was they said I had to pay for shuttle bus back to airport, $32 for 2 people. Ended up being free for who ever jumped on it. Royal Caribbean refused to give refund and just ran me around circles and gave lots of dumb excuses. Going back to Carnival next year.

What about the ship? There’s no review about the ship. Only about a private company after you got off. That’s it fair to the ship to review a private company. Wanna add McDonald’s to this too? How was McDonald’s?

Shuttle service is third person not owed by Royal and it’s not free. Only two stars for cococay? Yeah I’d say Royal isn’t for you (mainly because I wouldn’t want to hear you bitching at customer service on my cruise) I say don’t let the gangway hit you in the butt!

Appreciate your detailed feedback. At least you tried another cruise line. Maybe in the future you’ll try again, since you know about making reservations ahead of time.

I agree about the shuttle. Paid for one last year and no one could tell me where to go. Ended up paying for a private shuttle. Will never use RC for any transfers again.

The shuttle to the airport is NOT free!! You aren’t owed a refund.
