Serenade of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This was our first cruise on seranade of the Seas and we had a wonderful time. This trip was an excellent way for us to connect as a family relax and have fun.

Ship was huge. Spend the extra bucks for a balcony in the rear of the ship, its well worth it, you get two lounge chairs and two regular chairs and a table and awsome sunsets right from your room. It is perfect for days at sea so you do not have to fight for a lounge chair by the pool. Dinner at Chops was great, very intimate service and if you like filet its so tender you can cut it with a fork and I had no problems getting it rare. Windjammer Cafe got old around the fifth day with the same food. Service was great but you will run into a few with an attitude. I went on this cruise a week before Christmas so i got pretty annoyed with the Christmas music by the pool it was the same 4 reggae christmas songs in a loop when the band was not playing. If you stop at St. Lucia just stay on the boat the port is in a very sketchy area, take advantage of the boat when nobody is on it. Other than that it was a great time. Would sail again with them.

The ship was huge and well maintained

We surprised our kids for Christmas and took them on this wonderful cruise. Our family had a great time. My kids ages range from 6 to 13. My 6 and 10 year old loved the kids club. The staff was awesome and so cute. My 6 year old never wanted to leave. My kids also loved the sports court. They played ball whenever they could. Also, they loved the rock wall and mini golf. The waiters and stateroom attendants were great too. I would recommend this cruise to all. The ports are so fun and the beaches were incredible. I would love to do this vacation all over again!!

It was gorgeous! Everything was great.

Overall, a clean and beautiful ship that seems to have everything to accomodate single, couples, and families.

The ship is beautifull and fiendly to know because is it not huge although I prefer the Adventure of the Seas specially the Promenade. Royal Caribbean must improve the service at the Windjammer. The waiters seems to be very busy, and never asked if you need anything I hate to compare, but the Adventure has a perfect service. But it is fair to say that the dinning room service is A++++. The Stingrays (rock and Roll) show was great and the Diamonds wre almost sublime remembering the oldies. The Sea View Cafe has a Reuben sandwich from heaven!! For the first time I visited the medical facilities (my mom's asthma). The medical personnel was friendly, professional and I loved the way they treated my mom. She does not speaks english, but she understood every gesture of concerned from the medical crew. My thanks to them. One recommendation: Have your cruise care insurance as soon as you book your cruise. The medical services are expensives, but I can tell you they are prepared for any emergency. The balcony stateroom was perfect. We were three in the cabin and was OK. The balcony is perfect to take your breakfast while the ship is aproaching the port. You feel like a billionaire. Our Stateroom Attendant Adolfo Fox was great and shows concern for my mom's health. This is a good cruise for families.

The ship was very nice and in good condition. I recommend the Safari Club and Schooner Bar areas. They are not smoke filled and have great decor.

The ship was pretty. The crew was snarly except for a few nice ones. The crew seemed upset that they had to serve the breakfasts and lunches because they were normally buffet style. However, do to the fact that the ship had a problem on it's prior voyage, the week before, they did not allow any passenger to server themselves. Nor did they have salt/pepper shakers, they handed out packets. My biggest issue was that the price was supposed to include "soft drinks" However, once on board, we found you had to pay an additinal $52 to get coca-cola for the week! we settled for bad ice tea and lemonade, just out of principal. The ship seemed very commericalized and were constantly trying to sell you things, like coke, coffee/lattes, art, pictures, videos. My favorite (NOT) momeent of the cruise was when the captain of the vessel came over the PA to announce the dangers of gastrointestinal disease DURING THE FORMAL DINNER! yummy. Needless to say, I think it was cheesy all in all.

overall the ship was great,the wait staff were well versed and quite helpful.The shows were also very entertaining,we especially liked the oldies group,we would have liked to go right into an oldies dance club right after the performance. our ship contracted a virus but the captain took action and informed us how to remain healthy right away and the staff were excellent in promoting extensive sanitary conditions. the only negative issue was that we could not find the dance classes offered. the food was excellent all around,except for the dining experience at Chops ,where the steak was tough.

The ship was really nice however it was the exact replica of another Royal Carribean ship. The service on the boat was outstanding in every capacity. The activities on the boat were alot of fun and we fully participated in them this time to take full advantage. The only complaint I had would be about the lounge chairs on the boat and the lack there of. While the cruise line maintains a policy about reserving chairs, they do not enforce it. People would place towels on chairs in the morning and then never come back until the afternoon just to make sure they had a space. I am sure there has to be a better way of handling the chair situation.

Economizing is apparently responsible for a change in meal selection and quality. The ship itself is beautiful and well maintained.

clean freindly and a happy staff

We recently sailed on the Serenade of the Seas for the first time ever and all we can say was WOW----OH MY GOSH, are we really going on a cruise. We can't wait to go on another one.

The ship was beautiful. It had so much character.

The ship was absolutely beautiful. I was amazed that after spending 7 days on the boat we weren't able to do everything that we wanted to. I guess that means is that I'll have to go again soon!

A beautiful ship with so many wonderful facilities. Something to do for everyone all the time!

The ship was very nice and they spent a lot of time keeping it clean. I think they painted the outside at every port.

The Serenade of the Seas was a great ship. I have been on the Navigator of the Seas and much prefer the layout of that ship to the SoS due to the shops being smaller and lounges being more hidden. Overall, very clean and nice.

Beautiful - like new. Outstanding crew.
