Serenade of the Seas

Sail date: March 17, 2007

Ship: Serenade of the Seas

Cabin type: Oceanview

Review summary

I clearly rated the ship the maximum stars. It was very clean and the crew were very attentive and organized. I thought that the food and service were excellent and only one of the Chef's daily specials was poorly made. A fish tempura that had very soggy crust was unappetizing. The stateroom and wait staff were very friendly and had great personalities. I really enjoyed my first cruise.

A real West Indies wild Island with beautiful beaches and "pirate" coves.

Pros: The ship and the wonderful interior decorations plus the art displays

Cons: I believe that the decks were washed with grey water. I noticed a septic odor upon completion of the washing and on the chaise lounges (pillows).
