Overall a great cruise! I had more headaches leading up to the cruise dealing with Royal’s customer service than I did when I got on the ship. Everything was smooth and easy. The one thing I did not like was the staff hounding you about speciality dinner, especially the first day. Everywhere you turn, someone was asking if you wanted to purchased a speciality dining package. I get the ship is at less capacity and they are trying to make money so we didn’t let it bother us to much. It was great to be back cruising and the team on Serenade of the Seas did a great job. We would book the ship again.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
The embarkation process was so quick and easy. We arrived to the port and were on the boat within about 20 min. Just make sure you have all of your paperwork ready to go!
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The buffet was only open for breakfast and lunch. There really wasn’t ever a change in what was served and the food was ok. It wasn’t bad but it also wasn’t great. Now the food in the main dining room was better. We had lunch and dinner in there. I would highly suggest trying lunch in the MDR. For the most part the dinner was excellent. There were a couple dishes that were ehh but overall we really enjoyed the MDR food. Try the soups and the roasted beef tenderloin, they were excellent!
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
There wasn’t a ton todo on board. Now there are Covid protocols in place and they do have something todo with that. There was trivia onboard which was fun and movies (both outdoor and indoor. But hey, your on a cruise, you are there to relax and it the the perfect environment for that!
Entertainment
3 out of 5
The comedian only performed 2 maybe 3 nights on a 7 night cruise and there was only one actual show and it was only one night at 9:30. The musicians in the centrium did a great job though!
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The staff was fantastic! They really went above and beyond. We were super impressed with our MDR wait staff (Jordan and Dorian) and our room steward (Budi)! They were very accommodating and helped to make the cruise super relaxing.

Disembarkation was quick and easy. We really enjoyed waiting in our stateroom until our tag number was called. I hope that aspect stays.
