Review summary

My husband and I had a wonderful time, and we like Serenade because it's a smaller ship, and we enjoy that.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

There was a little glitch, but we still got on by 11:22 our check in time was 11:00. Great staff.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The food was good. MDR was good. Chops Grill was fantastic as usual, and the Taste of Royal was excellent. It's worth the extra money.

Room Service

Fantastic!!

Café Latte-tudes

3 out of 5

I asked for a vanilla Chai Latte. I didn't care for the way the barista made it. it tasted like chocolate had been added. I tried it again & same thing. Thats just my taste.

Chop's Grille

5 out of 5

I absolutely love this restaurant. We were in a suite so we had breakfast here a few days & it was delicious.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

For a small ship, there are ample activities with staff or self guided.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

I didn't do any shows, but I heard the game shows were a riot.

Cinema

5 out of 5

It is very small. It only holds about 50 people, but other than the size, it was fine.

Centrum

4 out of 5

Something is always going on here. The music was pretty good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The best!! They were so helpful and friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean ship, the staff is always cleaning.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We stayed in a Grand Suite & it was worth every penny. This is our wind down cruise, and we spend most of our time in our room. The perks in the concierge lounge are great as well.

Ship tip

This is a smaller older ship. If you want the perks of newer ships, don't sail on Serenade. If you want a smaller intimate experience, she is the ship for you.
