Serenade of the Seas

14 Night Snowbird Migration (Quebec To Ft. Lauderdale)

Sail date: October 19, 2015

Ship: Serenade of the Seas

Cabin type: Balcony

Cabin number: 7078

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 9 years ago

Review summary

Although I truly enjoyed all the ports of call, I did not enjoy the ship. The cabin was way to small, the elevators was a major problem, the Centrum shows was a joke. You vied for a space over looking the Centrum for a show that lasted maybe 10 minutes, Th food in the Windjammer was just OK not the quality of the big ships. I did not like this ship and would not recommend it to anyone.

This was not a cabin of my choosing. it was way to small.

Ship tip

My tip is to get to the elevators early if you plan on making it down to dinner on time. The elevators were very problematic. Waited as long as 15 minutes to get on one. Couldn't walk because of bad hip.

The Centrum was beautiful but better used for a solo pianist or guitarist. The shows were impossible to see. Should have been elsewhere but a big portion of the ship was taken up by specialty restaurants .
