Odyssey of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Loved our time together, loved the places we visited, however we learned that we could have done things on our own instead of scheduling everything through the ship. Some give more than others, and some are just tourist attractions with only shops to offer.

The cruise on Odessey of the Sea was great. Complications arise with dealing with large numbers of guests during common events like breakfast or shows in the evening to get a seat. The excursions are also complicated because of the high expense and having to choose one over the other because of the limited time in the port. Even after you decide on what excursion best fits your interest, be ready to accept what is delivered vs your expectation.

The only issue I felt was there was not a Catholic service available on Sundays. There was a Jewish self led Sabbath and I was very disappointed that I as a practicing catholic did not have an option to attend a mass on the ship, even if it had been streamed.

We have done other cruises but this was first time on Royal Caribbean line. Loved it. Will definitely do another with this company

Overall it was a really good cruise based on location, service, food, activities and overall satisfaction. Opportunities: Tours move quickly so on some ports like Athens, and Mykonos could be handled on your own using public transportation. Even Crete as well. Staff works really hard and the food was good. Specialty restaurants definitely had better cuts of meat and seafood so try those out. Although Chops could NOT get my steak right and they're a steak house. However they were very apologetic and remedied the issue.

Enjoyable Eastern Med cruise. Lots to do and see Typical Europe LOTS of walking.

All in all, a very good ship. Only real disappointment is the main dining room.

Very little useful info given on each day's destination and transportation requirements. Focus was total on shore excursions.

Overall enjoyed the experience. In future I would look for a smaller ship with less crowding.

Was a very busy cruise with many ports to visit! If visiting the ports I would not recommend anyone who cannot walk well. Lots of cobblestones and hills in some of the ports. Was still busy when we went the first of September so next time I might go later in September to hopefully miss some of the crowds.

Highly recommend this cruise! Great experience from start to finish.

The ship okay. I was expecting more activities and things to do. The buffet was food was not good.

The cruise overall was good but seeing as this was 1st time in Europe I totally do not recomend to go by cruise as you don't see much & always feel rushed as you arrive too late or leave too early for non Royal Carribean coordinated tours.

Great overall experience. Good ports and nice ship. Being latin my only complaint is that the Latin band was terrible.

We went during peak season. There were a lot of people everywhere, but we were expecting that so it was no problem for us. It was also August so outside was hot! We were also expecting that. Do you like ancient history? There's a lot of it here. No need to book excursions with the ship. Book with . We did both and was superior. Far less people... 10 or less. Flexibility, etc.

Graduation cruise that my high school graduate selected. Prepare for Rome to be extremely hot and heavily crowded in July. Also, in Santorini, prepare to wake up extremely early to get in line if you plan to get off the boat and explore.

We had a great time. Best experience we have had on any cruise for initial boarding and final exit. The staff was exceptional at responsiveness and service. Main dining room food was excellent. Ephesus was the highlight stop on this itinerary.

Our cruise was many years in the planning and it did not disappoint. We met fabulous people. The Royal Caribbean App was fantastic to keep in touch with other guests and the itinerary was great. A definite memorable experience.

The cruise was amazing, the staff is very pleasant, the food was very good, the activities were great, the shows were very nice, I would highly recommend this cruise, very kid friendly, lots of activities on board.

All excursions were Excellent except the Amalfi coast. The tour guide didn’t show us around to any sites She left us too long in Santorini and we didn’t have enough time on the Amalfi Coast. She didn’t show us around. We went to a restaurant that didn’t have any seating available. They told us to get our food to good. But when seating became available they wouldn’t let us eat our food there after we paid for it. It was not a good time. The boat was overloaded on our way back to shore.
