Serenade of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Most crew members were friendly and make us feel special. Some people were rude. Over all I can say our experience was unforgetabble and would love to repeat it.

accommodation is great, staff is wonderful, drinks are too expensive and the marketing ploys are endless

Overall this was an excellent cruise. I would strongly recommend paying the money for a balcony, it's well worth it. The ship was very clean and the staff were very friendly. The food in the Windjamer Cafe was always quite good with a very large selection, if you didn't want to eat in the main dining room. It's also nice to take advantage of room service.

The ship was beautiful and spacious/clean. This ship was smaller than a previous ship I had been on (the Adventure). I was not overall impressed with the amount of shops on board, the Adventure was more my style with a promenade of shops and a large coffee shop as well.

The ship was really nice, clean, different activities for all ages. It was always nice to hear the daily news of what's going on, not only on the ship but also on the Island. It was clean and our state room was cleaned well, and towels left twice daily. The people were excellent and I can't say enough nice things about out stateroom attendant, waiters, and just all the staff that you would walk by and always pleasant with a hello "how are you"?

great cruise

Very Good ship

Clean, great shows, great food

The ship is simply perfect! It's kept very clean and is the perfect size. The staff are wonderful and cannot do enough to make sure you don't lift a finger on your vacation.

Incredible experience on this our third cruise (1st on RCC). The ship was gorgeous and very stable at sea. The rooms were spacious and had lots of storage, and a large balcony. The variety of bars and nooks and crannies was impressive. The dining room was elegant and very well appointed. The gym was well equipped and the pools were well designed and fun to use.

From the day of embarkation, priority lines for suite guests meant nothing. In fact, it almost felt like we were treated more rudely for being in these lines. The food and service in the main dining room were so poor that we ate in the buffet dining after the first night. Excursions were of mediocre quality, as were most of the nightly entertainments. Ports of call that were exceptional are: St. Maartin, Barbados, and Antigua. Both St. Lucia and St. Croix were disappointing. Our spa experience and our room steward were the high points of the cruise line.

The ship was a perfect size. It was small enough to get personal service but large enough to have plenty of activities for the kids. It would have been nice to have more activities for the teens. Mine would not get involved because were required to sit and talk instead of participate in activities. More dodgeball, ping pong or video events would have been great for them. They wanted to do stuff, but had to settle for playing with each other instead of meeting new people. The pools were totally awesome, perfect temperature and beautiful. I loved the separate area for the adults. The bar service was always there when your glass was empty. (Just wish was a little less expensive and could have spent more)! I definitely recommend the beverage package for the kids. That was well worth it and no need to sign everytime they wanted a soda! Wish they had an unlimited beverage for beer, wine or cocktails! The captain was very competent also. We had to change our itinerary due to a tropical storm, but ship remained calm and steady. We still visited all our ports. Due to the schedule change, I was worried out excursion (booked through a travel agent ahead of time) would be uninformed, so the customer service desk allowed me to make a complimentary call from the ship to the excursion. That was very much appreciated and relieved stress from my worries!

The ship Serenade of the Seas is beautiful and was kept very clean. The staff and service was excellent. The food left a lot to be desired, especially in the Wind jammer Cafe (where meals are served buffet style). The ship had a lack of fun activities while cruising. We like to stay busy and entertained and there were not that many activities on board. The shops on the ship had limited products and the deals were not good at all. Some of the jewelry and watches on board looked like it came from the dollar store. Bottom line, we had a good time, but we have cruised with another cruise line that was more fun and a much better value for our money. The next time we will cruise with the " Fun Ships" again!

The staff was really good

This was our 8th cruise and the 3rd with RC. As on our past RC cruises, my husband and I were treated like royalty. We went for a fun and relaxing time and were not disappointed. Although there were plenty of children on board, their activities and gathering places were planned and situated in such a way that they were not a nuisance as we've experienced on another cruise line.

Ship's layout was very confusing. Dance floor in the centrum was very small. We had paid for a superior balcony (extended) and were not happy with the lack of extra space.

very good ship, clean etc..

Serenade is a lovely ship.

wonderful ship, wonderful crew....best cruise yet. loved the islands and the excursions. would definitely recommend

Pretty ship, not too big, not too small. Food was some of the best on average.
