Serenade of the Seas

Sail date: November 06, 2011

Ship: Serenade of the Seas

Cabin type: Oceanview

Traveled as: Singles/Friends

Review summary

The ship 's size allows you to encounter people you meet at other times. The check in staff was not as friendly as other cruise lines. The Reflections dining staff was great but some of the wait staff in the Windjammer were not as friendly. The pool was not accommodating for water aerobics and the chlorine level was sometimes overwhelming. Pool area too small when we had one day @ sea. I was pleased with the cabin and large port hole.

Not everyone was very friendly. When I encountered the cruise director the first time, he was very helpful and I did not know who he was at the time. Sometimessome staff did not speak when spoken to.
