Review summary

This Ultimate World Cruise was absolutely amazing. Royal Caribbean jumped through hoops all the way to make everything perfect! They dealt with schedule changes, protests, weather, and other unforeseen situations (which could only be expected with 274 days of sailing) perfectly and flawlessly. I was constantly amazed at how effortless the crew made things look. Royal Caribbean, Serenade of the Seas ship and its crew Nothing short of amazing! I would encourage anyone and everyone to take a royal Caribbean cruise. And if Royal Caribbean offers another Ultimate World Cruise , do it do it do it. We had the time of our lives!!

Wow, what an itinerary. I wish I could go on that, I'd be Club Pinnacle at the end of that cruise. Royal Caribbean really went above and beyond? I'm glad you enjoyedyourcruise. Your legs are probably still wobbly on land. Thank you for your review.
