Serenade of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Great cruize experience would recommend to anyone, the stops were great and the excurisions were a great value and well organized.

Overall the cruise was great. The crew was very accomodating and the ship was clean. I think they need to monitor the deck area better for people leaving towels on the lounge chairs and not returning to them. Also they needed a little more variety in the lunch menus.

This was my first experience on a cruise. My husband stayed at home so it was just myself and my 4 year old son. I was impressed by the fact that we both had a great time. There were times he went to the kids club and I had some time to do what I wanted and there were times we spent together and had a great time. We had an inside stateroom which was very clean and well laid out with plenty of space to unpack and feel at home. All through the cruise I felt very pampered by the attentive staff, especially the stateroom attendant and the dining room staff. The food was good in the dining room and also at windjammers. With a 4 year old I didn't sample much of the night-life although I could have had I wanted to since the kids club was open until 10 every night and then you could pay $5/hr from 10-1am. The ports were Icy Point Strait, Skagway and Juneau. I especially like Skagway and Juneau. I did not do a lot of shore excursions since I thought they were quite expensive.

Ship was very well layed out and easy to get around. Well maintained and nicely decorated. Staterooms are a little tight but the balcony was worth it.

beautiful ship well maintained friendly staff spacious seaview stateroom comfortable bed great food, but not #1

Overall a good time at good value. Crew was typical of most cruises. Very friendly and accomodating. Dinning room meals were O.K. Not great.The two restautrants, Portifino and Chops were execellent. Only real complaint was the inconsistancies in bar charges. I drink Manhattans. I paid from $5 to $8.50 depending on which bar made the drink. And you don't know until you get the receipt to sign. Apparently different bars use varying qualities of Bourban, and charge accordingly. but they don't tell you first. Also "house wine" red or white is usually available at all bars on most cruise ships. Not on this cruise. Some had both. Some had only "house" red but premium white etc. Have previously been on 2 Celebrity cruises and this was NOT the case. Additionally, we found Celebrity to be a 'cut above" R.C. in most areas.

Serenade of the Seas is an awesome ship. I highly recommend this ship to anyone. Everyone on that ship was like one big family!! The Serenade singers and dancers are awesome. The jugglers and magicians were superb. I enjoyed my vacation tremendously.

It was a good cruise for vacation. The staff make you feel special. They were a lot of latin staff, it was easy to communicate.

This ship is not as big as the ship I went on previously which is good. There were never lines at the eating areas, the staff is so nice and really make every effort to make you feel comfortable. The pools (with the exception of one day) were not crowded you always got a chair at the pool.

I was shocked at how nice the cruise actually was. I did not think I would like it as much as I did. The staff was extremely helpful and courteous, the food was excellent and there was plenty to do on the boat if you chose not to leave the ship on one of the stops.

Good ship, with nice rooms (even the cheaper rooms do have a confortable king size bed). Good shows, nice (little) casino, good animation team, medium buffet and rather 'normal' food (I expected exceptional good food on a cruise, but at the Serenade of the Seas, the food was the only negative point. It was not bad, but certainly not excellent !)

Cruise line offering were not at all up to the standards that we have previously experienced on RC. I would not travel RC again unless changes are made to the Ocean Adv. staff and the quality of the food onboard.....very bland!

My impression of the ship was WOW

We recently cruised on "Serenade of the Seas" through Royal Caribbean. This was our second cruise. This cruise was less expensive than the first but just as wonderful. This is a new ship that is beautiful. There are many activities going all the time. They have activities to interest anybody. There pool area is beautiful. The food was excellent! Staff was courteous. There is also a lot for kids to do although we didn't take ours this time. I would highly recommend this ship.

I just returned from a 5 night Caribbean cruise on Serenade of the Seas. Three friends and I went on the cruise to celebrate my 40th birthday. It was fantastic!! We left the hubbies, kids and stress behind. The ship was spectacular and the service was even better. The crew was very friendly, helpful and happy. Our cabin steward and waiter took very good care of us. On my birthday our cabin steward gave me a bottle of champagne on ice with 4 glasses to share with my friends. It was an unexpected treat! The food was great both in the dining room and at the buffet. There were plenty of activities going on for all to enjoy. The time in port was good. Enough time to shop and sightsee or go to the beach. I would highly recommend the Serenade of the Seas. Next cruise, I plan to take my family. They would love it!

I clearly rated the ship the maximum stars. It was very clean and the crew were very attentive and organized. I thought that the food and service were excellent and only one of the Chef's daily specials was poorly made. A fish tempura that had very soggy crust was unappetizing. The stateroom and wait staff were very friendly and had great personalities. I really enjoyed my first cruise.

Beautiful ship, well laidout, convenient to everywhere. Best ship yet we've cruised on.

We enjoyed the entire cruise on the Serenade of the Seas. We sure appreciated the captain giving us his 360 degree turns around the various islands. The was an added great treat!

The ship was clean, service was amazing (except Guest Relations - go figure). Sure our cabin was small but they all are. Our Cabin Steward - Fernando was excellent. The kids couldn't wait to see what towel animal was on our bed at night! The kids program was great! The activities staff was hysterical. Lots of activities - all different types! Almost too many activities - didn't have time for them all. Would definitely go on Serande of the Seas again!!

Our first cruise on Royal Caribbean and the ship, staff, entertainment and itinerary exceeded our expectations. The ports for the southern Caribbean cruise out of Puerto Rico are excellent. Each port has so much to offer and there is so much to do it is simply a great escape. The staff are happy and friendly and the ship has many things to offer. I would recommend Royal Caribbean to others especially this tour. We got a good taste of the southern Caribbean to plan a regular vacation or take another cruise.
