Review summary

Royal Caribbean is NOT DISENFECTING like they are supposed to. You will never see anyone disinfecting day or late night . The casino area is the worst. The cruise line will never tell you if your room that you are entering had covid positive cruisers. It should be the law to be notified if the room your entering has had covid positive people before you enter it. Service is not as expected , ask one crew one question and get a different answer from the next crew member about the same question. Food is the same as any other ship food is average. Every event you want to do is a line , during cruise days if you don't go down at 7am to get a lounge you will not get one. Pools are extremely small both of them. Solarium is not what you see online it is half the size very small. On a 1-10 scale i give RC a 3 and i have cruised over 20 cruises. Don't let the size of the ship throw you off , the bigger the ship the worse the service. RC is not what it used to be they are slowing declining in their service and cleanliness . Also the bathrooms on the whole ship are disguising dirty and i complained about them.

I was on Odyssey March '22 and I saw cleaning constantly. I spend time in the casino and it was very clean. My experience was fantastic with both the ship and the crew.

First of all, you weren't in every area of the ship at every hour of the day and night, so how could you possibly know if they are or aren't disinfecting every surface? Second of all, Covid is airborne - you don't get it from surfaces. Third, how do you know you didn't catch Covid at the airport or on the plane or at a gas station or a million other places before you even got onboard or when you or another passenger was in port? If you're that paranoid, don't cruise, but don't blame the cruise line.

And these people walk the streets and are allowed to vote.

Sounds like someone forgot to read their cruise contract before signing it. I'm sorry you got COVID but it's unrealistic to blame on the cruiseline.

You want to be informed if a room has had a Covid positive person in it, yet you object to exiting the ship by a different exit because you are Covid positive.
