Review summary

our cruise was the ending to a 9 week vacation trough Europe, we were recommended this cruise as it called on so many ports 1 sea day in 13 nights gives you an idea, although busy i would not change a thing, the serenade was a great ship to do this on

Embarkation

5 out of 5
the new rccl app made embarkation seamless we were on the ship in under 10 mins after dropping off bags

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
food was excellent where ever we went, chefs table 9/10, Giovanni 8/10, izzumi 8/10, chops 9/10 wind jammer although i don't use it as much when we did was great

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
our cruise was that busy we didn't use many on board activities what we did were fine, pool & hot tub

Entertainment

3 out of 5
did not do to many shows as they didn't appeal however they look full most nights so a personal thing more than likely

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
staff were awesome, all happy to say hello and do what they could to make the cruise great, our room steward was one of the best we have had in our 20 odd cruises a true asset to the line

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
serenade in my opinion is a great size ship, the layout is fantastic, the whole ship was clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
we had a royal upgrade accepted so moved to a balcony room 7138, the room was a good size, comfortable, the bed was one of the best i have slept on on a rccl, i think the room steward made the difference as he was attentive, friendly and helped where he could
