Serenade of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Loved the ship size easy to find things . The lobby smelled like smoke and windows were dirty, but everyone was friendly and the food was great

By previous RCCL standards, the cruise was a little less than great. There seemed to be many inexperienced staff - not unexpected in these times. The lack of printed information on ports was very inconvenient and disappointing. Not being able to see our cabin account from the TV (as in many hotels and previous RCCL cruises) was inconvenient. The Crap Table in the casino was never staffed (we were told there was no experienced staff yet - our Princess Cruise last Fall had a fully staffed Casino, including the Crap Table). Ironically, the CDC lifted its COVID test requirement on June 12th. If we had taken the cruise one week later, I would not have had to isolate in Vancouver.

It’s ok ok.. nothing special about it. Did not see very many animals.. kind of disappointing

Overall it was an ok cruise. If I sail to Alaska again I would not do this ship. It needs a lot of work. Out of 26 cruises this was in the bottom 5. All really had to do with the ship. In the main dining room there were broken windows. Ship has only been out of dry dock for 3 weeks. I really don’t think they were broken after dry dock. There was pieces of railings missing. No late night food places open. If you are hungry between 3pm and 5pm you need to go to a little stand in the solarium. A little small stand for so many people. We were very lucky with weather. We took large coats and it was sunny and warm in every port. I do think I would try a different time of year if I cruise Alaska again. But not this ship

This was our second time to Alaska on a cruise ship. The first time was on the Crown Princess in 2015. Both cruises were incredible....you won't be disappointed!

Nice and relaxing 😎 cruise. Not the greatest but a good one

I do 3 cruises a year. 2 months prior, I was the MSC Meraviglia. It was amazing! Out of all the cruises I have ever been on, the Serenade of the Seas was the worst. Nevertheless, it was a vacation, I had time off, & I was with family. So, I made the most of it. Truly thankful. I am scheduled to go on the Serenade of the Seas again in September 2022 for an Alaskan cruise. I am hopeful that my experience will be better than my last experience. I will definitely plan different.

Great cruise with good weather… we enjoy the smaller ships…

Cruise was fun. Great service. Cozumel was a little pushy in the sales side. Honduras, West Bay had really cool little stores and If you leave the port in Costa Maya you get a whole better experience.

Hubby and I both work on average 10 hours a day so we needed to de-stress and relax and this cruise was perfect for that.

Another enjoyable cruise from Royal Caribbean!!!!

Would highly recommend Serenade of the Seas. It was so enjoyable. Everyone working was very happy to see all passengers.

Quick weekender. Good sun, good fun, quick stop in Costa Maya & back home. Relaxing!

It was for the first anniversary of my dad’s passing and we brought my mom to the place we loved vacationing together because we didn’t want to be home…so that being said it was as good as it could be considering we are all still grieving…oh but my dad loved the ship & the sea 🌊💔⚓️ we brought Christmas presents for room attendant and other staff we met and decorated our door. It was good…

This was an okay cruise for a last minute getaway. I don’t know that I would choose this ship or embarkation port again if planning in advance.

I had a great cruise which was booked for relaxation versus itinerary or onboard options. Serenade is a beautiful ship. I am a fan of the art auctions but not a fan of them hijacking the Viking Crown lounge which is prime real estate. It's one of the best places to relax and escape the crowds. I was able to use the Concierge and Diamond lounges but since that wasn't always the case, I recognized that taking the space out of play for other passengers is not ideal. Royal could definitely use more complimentary, readily available dining options on its smaller and midsized vessels. The menu at Park Cafe and Cafe Latitudes isn't comprehensive enough. You won't starve until something opens up; but compared to the options offered by their competition, I find their complimentary offerings fairly limited and uninspiring.

Great little ship, but no Windjammer for dinner :-/

Ship was not even at half capacity. 1000 passengers made it quiet and relaxing.

I Loved Loved Loved my cruise. I felt very safe and protected. I highly recommend cruising with Royal Carribean😍

Government changing requirements prior to boarding added quite a bit of stress. One failed test two days before boarding would cancel the cruise. Getting past that was a great relief. The ship was clean and we were very happy to be cruising again.
