Need a break!!!

Ship: Enchantment of the Seas
Sail Date: Jun 10, 2013

Fabulous, Me and my wife had not been on a vacation or cruise in (8) years, since rising my son and daughters. The only thing missing was the basketball court we had on the last one, although the pools, spas, and gym were accommodating for this brief vacation. Most personnel were friendly accept at the photo shop and the Benn and Jerry Ice Cream Store where personnel was not as polite as others. Notwithstanding we had a great short trip.

Our Cruise on Enchantment of the Sea

Ship: Enchantment of the Seas
Sail Date: Jun 10, 2013

We thoroughly enjoyed this cruise. Our favorite part of the day was when we went to the dining room and had our wonderful waitstaff make a fuss over us. Malfina and Rafael treated us like we were their favorite people. We hated to leave them behind. The shows were really good and the other entertainment was very well done. The cruise director was on the ball. We really liked the belly-flop competition. All in all we had a great time and hope to be able to go again someday.

Good cruise, horribe boarding and disembarkation

Ship: Explorer of the Seas
Sail Date: Jun 08, 2013

Weather could have cooperated more. The outward voyage was cloudy and rainy and the homeward was very choppy and windy. The Island was fine. I'd take the trip again. It was short and Bermuda is lovely. The Ship and crew are also very cool. But the Bayonne facility is a nightmare that takes away from it all.

it depends on the person if you'll like it

Ship: Enchantment of the Seas
Sail Date: Jun 07, 2013

This was our first time sailing so I had nothing else to compare it to. The Pros: the service was outstanding. The food was good. Plenty of swimming possibilities. The Cons: The ship was too small for me and did not have choices (other than the pools and bars). But if your the type of person that has a bad back or bad knees, this smaller ship would be better. Next time we're going on a bigger cruise that offers more.

Loved Alaska

Ship: Rhapsody of the Seas
Sail Date: Jun 07, 2013

This was my 6th cruise, first with Royal Carribean. First cruise for my boyfriend. Alaska was just as everyone said-the best cruise ever! I was impressed with the quality of the food-both in the Main Dining Room and the Buffett. The food was excellent, the best I have had on a cruise ship. Shows were top notch. The staff was exceptional. Everyone seemed to genuinely enjoy their job, which you don't see in a lot of other ships. A little bumpy on Saturday, but that can be expected in the open sea! Had friends in Juneau who showed us around-was excited to see a black bear and her three cubs and the Mendenhall Glacier. Went on the White Pass and Yukon Route train ride in Skagway, a must when visiting the town. Butchart Gardens was the place to see in Victoria. Smooth trip back to Seattle. I would highly recommend Royal Caribean's trip to Alaska.

Overview of Royal Caribbean

What We Love

RCI has established itself as the top cruise line for active cruisers and families -- rock climbing and simulated surfing facilities have become standard. On the new Oasis/Allure of the Seas, there is a zip line, a miniature golf course, and a basketball court.
The Royal Promenade: Since the building of “Explorer of the Seas,” all ships have an indoor promenade lined with bars, stores, pizza parlors and feature evening “carnival-style” parties with costumed performers. The ice skating rink is among the most popular activities.
Best kids’ program in the cruise industry, DreamWorks characters from Shrek, Kung Fu Panda and Madagascar aboard, and 3D movies. Private lounges for teens.

What To Expect

Fellow Passengers: The average age of RCI's passengers is mid-40's, which skews higher on longer voyages. Many families with kids and groups sail together, especially on ships built in the past decade.
Atmosphere: The most active ships in the cruise industry. One RCI executive described as “mass with class.” Beautiful public rooms, innovative nightlife and alternative dining.
Cabins: Inside and outside staterooms are tiny: 119 to 122 sq .ft.; superior ocean view cabins, 157 sq. ft. and junior suites with balconies are 300 sq. ft. Suites range from 242 to 670 sq. ft. Family suites offer connecting rooms with extra bathrooms.
Dining: While some of RCI's food (especially in the Lido restaurant) is uninspired, newer ships have multiple alternative restaurants ranging from Asian to Italian, Brazilian, steakhouses and French. Allure and Oasis offer the most choices.
Bars and Lounges: The nautically themed Windjammer Club is a staple on all RCI ships, as is the “Crown Club” on the top deck and Sports Club with live ESPN games.

The Fine Print

Alcohol Policy: Two bottles (750 ml each or smaller) of wine or champagne per cabin are allowed. A $25 corkage fee per bottle is applied when consumed in public.

Dress Code: On a seven-day cruise, expect "cruise casual" nights (slacks, khakis, jeans, and button-downs for men, and casual dresses, skirts and blouses for women) and two formal nights (suit or tux for men and and evening/cocktail dresses for women).

Gratuities: $11.50 per person, per day is charged to shipboard account, and covers waiters, room stewards and other service staff.

Children's Program: Teens have private clubs for hanging out. Smaller children have a myriad of programs, including private pools and water sports and parties at night. From dawn to dusk, there are non-stop programs for younger guests plus a kids' menu at dinner.

Smoking Policy: Ships are non-smoking (including cabins and balconies), but there are a few designated areas on deck where it's allowed.

Onboard Activities: Sail with Madagascar characters, watch 3D DreamWorks movies, try rock climbing or miniature golf. Try your surfing skills on Flow Rider, go ice skating, zip line across the top of the ship, take a scuba course, or get a PADI certification. “Elite Golf” program offers rounds of golf at the top courses in Bermuda and Hawaii. Other features include the first bowling alley at sea, extensive fitness and spa treatments, a full basketball court, and a “Behind the Scenes Tour” of bridge, galley and laundry facilities.

Cozumel, Mexico (7506 Reviews)

Sitting just off the gorgeous Yucatan coast, Cozumel revels in its mythic white-sand beaches and world-class coral reefs. Yet Cozumel is also the last stronghold of the Mayas, who settled the island in 300 A.D. Residents still speak Maya, and sometimes wear traditional Mayan clothing. Nearby stand the great pyramids and temples of their ancestors. Learn More »

Nassau, Bahamas (6282 Reviews)

Nassau/Paradise Island is the capital of the Bahamas. Explore Parliament Square, the government center that dates back to the early 1800s or check out the port's vibrant night life, including more casinos, theatres, and fabulous cuisine than you could possibly fit into a short stay. During the day, there's plenty of golfing, tennis, and swimming. Learn More »

George Town, Grand Cayman (5028 Reviews)

George Town is the capital of the Cayman Islands, and is situated directly on Grand Cayman. Once a center of turtle fishing, the area is now a popular tourist destination. Snorkeling and diving are especially popular, and the opportunity to swim with and feed the giant, graceful stingrays should not be missed. Don't worry--it is said that no one has ever been stung. Learn More »

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas (4457 Reviews)

Charlotte Amalie, is the capital of the United States Virgin Islands and the most popular cruise port in the Caribbean. Named for a Danish Queen, the city features pastel houses that are heavily sprinkled against a background of emerald hills. Colorful sloops dock along the waterfront, and a few steps back, down alleyways lined with old Danish warehouse buildings, is a world-famous shopping center. Learn More »

Philipsburg, St. Maarten (3113 Reviews)

An island under two flags, St. Martin/St. Maarten is French and Dutch. Philipsburg is on the Dutch side and famous for its duty-free emporia and casinos. A short drive will bring you to Marigot, a charming French Colonial outpost featuring shops filled with French fashions and imported Gallic goodies, as well as beautiful beaches. Learn More »

Key West, Florida (2700 Reviews)

Key West has the best diving, snorkeling, fishing and boating in the continental U.S. Just a three-by-five mile Island, Key West offers a treat for the masses that flock here. Locals and tourists alike stroll down Duval Street each night to witness the Sunset Celebration, where they find hand-made souvenirs, munchies, cold drinks and a show so spectacular, only nature could have created it. Learn More »

Belize City, Belize (2447 Reviews)

Belize City is the country's chief seaport, so snorkeling and diving is big here...bring a suit! Travel to a city previously inhabited by the Mayan people at Altun Ha, ancient temple of the Sun God. Or visit the Belize Zoo or Baboon Sanctuary. Gales Point is a great place to view manatees! Learn More »

San Juan, Puerto Rico (2122 Reviews)

The fortress of El Morro guards the harbor against long-gone Sir Francis Drake and his British privateers. The colorful streets of Old San Juan retain the Latin flavor of its seafaring past, when this was the heart of the Spanish Main. Sample the fiery rum made here, or indulge in an icy treat made from fresh tropical fruit and enjoy the Caribbean atmosphere. Learn More »

Cococay (Cruiseline's Private Island) (1935 Reviews)

Enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and sunning on Cococay, a private island that Royal Caribbean has reserved just for you! Do a little shopping at the Straw Market or just relax in the sun on the white sandy beaches and in the azure waters that you only find in the Bahamas. Go snorkeling, scuba diving, cruising by banana boat, or try parasailing! This island was built for you. Learn More »

Ocho Rios, Jamaica (1898 Reviews)

With its swaying palms, glistening white beaches, and sophisticated resorts, Ocho Rios is a favorite vacation spot. For a splendid view, visit Shaw Park Gardens, overflowing with fragrant flora and refreshing waterfalls, or enjoy a refreshing trek through Dunn's River Falls one of the most celebrated attractions of the Caribbean.
