4.0

We are seventy and this is our first cruise on Royal Caribbean even though we have been cruising for 15 years once or twice each year. We normally cruise on carnival and though we would try something different so we booked icon of the seas. We are in our seventies and booked a balcony room not knowing there was inside balconies as we normally have a ocean side balcony so we can sit outside relax

Lets get this straight out in the open. I think way too many negative reviews are entitled people who forget this is nearly 25 year old cruise ship. Adventure is older than most of your children. We (family of 4) understand the age and the lack of Oasis and larger ship classes' amenities. You have to go on older ships with a different mindset than ones built in the past 5-10 years. You will enjoy

Enjoyed this ship, even with thorough preparation via you tube, I was still in awe of Symphony boarding. PROS1. The embarkation process was a breeze at Cape Liberty in Bayonne, New Jersey, took less than 45 minutes to wait through security line, check in and then board. Went straight to muster station, was told, "if anything happens... just come here..." hilarious! Cabins were available at

This was our first cruise and first time leaving the country! We are a family of three. Myself, my wife and our 7 year old son. We absolutely loved our trip, and have already booked our next one for December! Celinez and Dody in the MDR were fantastic! Mark (the head waiter) was a GEM as well! They had all kinds of origami made for our son whenever we arrived for dinner. The stateroom was an ocean

As Diamond Plus Members on Royal we can tell you this was the worst experience we have ever encountered. The ship was in deplorable condition, the rooms were dirty, the casino was full of dirty ashtrays and glasses and the staff was indifferent and some were just plain rude. The food was deplorable in the dining room and the head waiter was wearing a dirty, soiled suit jacket. The

Not the Royal experience one would expect. Customer service across the ship was subpar. Seemed as if crew members were just punching their time cards and not very hospitable. Some seemed annoyed and as one casino crew member said “I’m at the end of my 9 month contract and I’m burnt out.” That was the vibe everywhere and in talking with other guests, most felt that from the staff. St. Thomas was a

Bottom Line – if you are over 50 or don’t enjoy ear blasting, chest thumping music, Royal Caribbean is not the cruise line for you. Try Viking or Oceania.RCI app: this is arguably the worst thing on the cruise. RCI insists you use the app for almost everything, but it works poorly when it works at all. Android or Apple (we had some of each in our group) makes no difference. App will fail

Well I have to say that for all the hype and lead up, I’m more than a little less than impressed.We have only cruised once before and it was on Celebrity (subsidiary of Royal Caribbean) and it was incredible. So I don’t have a lot to compare this cruise to.One thing RC did very well is the boarding process. Super easy and fast. Great experience.Also the room porter and main dining room

Diamond family of 3 with Boardwalk balcony (booked through travel agent) and assigned a room where we could see the water theater (excellent location). The interior balcony room was very tight for 3 and would not recommend it for more than 2 people. Our stateroom attendant did not stop by twice daily to take care of the sofa bed so we had to ourselves. Service was very friendly everywhere. Ship

The ship is beautifully designed and decorated, and well maintained. Looking forward to sail more on voyager and freedom class ships from New York area. We do not like mega ships like Oasis, where you have to book nearly every show 2-3 months in advance.We didn't find the cruise director Mey funny. She was just okay. Her helpers who hosted some of late night games were all excellent. The
