I finally got to experience my first Royal Caribbean cruise (Wonder of the Seas). We traveled during the month of February, so the weather was in the high 70s during the day and low 70s at night throughout our three-night stay. This ship is huge. The staff was phenomenal from the moment we stepped out of the Uber upon arrival to disembarkation. With baggage tags emailed well in advance, it was super simple to drop off our luggage and navigate our way onto the ship. Security and check-in were smooth. Our keys awaited us outside our room doors, and our luggage arrived within the hour. We quickly dropped off our carry-ons, completed the required safety briefing via the cruise line app, and headed to the Windjammer (buffet) to grab a bite to eat before the sail-away party. We did have the Deluxe Drink Package, which was a phenomenal deal given the length of our cruise and how active we intended to be. This package is wonderful because it includes all beverages from coffee to alcoholic drinks, fresh juices, smoothies, you name it. If I were to travel with this cruise line again, I would indulge in the Unlimited Dining Package as well. Meals in the main dining hall and some of the complimentary options were okay, but not always the best or my first choice. The main dining room took the cake on Italian night, and the buffet was a big hit for Caribbean night. The rooms were spacious, and I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the bathroom shower. Our room attendant did a phenomenal job, ensuring that we stayed stocked with all of our necessities and even provided some specialty items since I was celebrating a birthday. The cruise ship itself seemed pretty clean. I did not detect any unusual odors or areas that were noticeably unmanaged or unkempt. Throughout the cruise, you could see various staff members attending to different areas, which was wonderful. I loved the "washy-washy" attendants as well, reminding everyone that it takes a village to keep us all healthy and safe. The activity itinerary on this cruise line is extensive. There is something to do from the minute you wake up until well past midnight each night. Many activities cater to adults-only options as well as family-friendly and teen options, so there is truly something for everyone. Although this is a mixed cruise, I did not feel as though children were falling all over me anywhere except the main hot tub and pool areas, which is where they obviously dominate, lol. However, this cruise line does offer adults-only sections within the Solarium, which provide a bit more privacy and comfort for adults looking for that. We purchased Hideaway Beach tickets to enjoy the adults-only section of Perfect Day at CocoCay. I would highly recommend it. There were wonderful swim-up bars, a great DJ with amazing energy, and nice buffet options as well. When we arrived in Nassau on our last day, we decided to remain on the boat since all of us had explored that port several times before. We thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to enjoy some experiences that had previously been crowded. This was the perfect time to enjoy the spa and explore the remaining portions of the ship while taking advantage of a less crowded pool and hot tub area on the main decks to soak in the sun. Out of all the shows, we definitely enjoyed Intense the most, followed by 365 on Ice. The adult comedy show was super corny but a nice way to end our final evening before enjoying some cocktails and the silent toga party. We missed Battle of the Sexes/ Crazy Quest, but we heard phenomenal things and were surely bummed that we missed out. We spent a little time in the casino, where we won a bit on the slot machines, which was super fun. I loved the separate smoking and non-smoking room options. For a cruise line, the casino is quite extensive, which I also enjoyed. Disembarkation was super smooth. My only gripe was Uber's surge pricing, knowing so many people would be traveling from the port that day. I cannot wait for my next Royal Caribbean experience. read more

This is my third time traveling with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, but on a different ship, Wonder Of The Seas which was phenomenal. It's a fairly new Ship only 3 years old. It's massive in size and has everything you need and more. It's always plenty to see and do. The shows are always top notch, the Aqua Show is Spectacular, a must see. The Staff is always friendly and accommodating. Can't wait to go on my next trip with RC. read more

This review is for RC Wonder of the Seas. This was a 3 day cruise to Cococay and Nassau. We never made it to Nassau due to Hurricane Imelda. The ship is huge and there are so many things you can do it is just not worth doing a 3 day. I would do either 5 or 7 next time. The food is actually very good for cruise line food. We were a big family group so we opted for the buffet or main dining room for our meals but they have many nice restaurants that you can pay a little more for. We got the deluxe beverage package that we got for 60% off (about 57 per person per day), which I highly recommend. Any drink, alcoholic or not is unlimited. Our balcony stateroom was spacious and very comfortable. We booked 4 rooms side by side and we were able to open the balconies to have one huge one which made it so much easier to go room to room with little ones. Cococay is very nice with two beaches and a large pool and also splash pads for kids. The chairs and umbrellas are free but you have to get there early to snag a nice one. The buffet on Cococay had a nice variety of foods, not just BBQ. The entertainment was okish with the ice skating show so good we did it twice. The casino was surprisingly large for a cruise and they have both smoking and nonsmoking casinos. They are separated. I found that most of the staff was friendly and helpful but some of the bartenders were less friendly. This is my 3rd RC cruise and so far the best. read more

"Shabby" at best is how I would describe my latest cruise on the Adventure of the Seas!! When I reported my reviews to the CEO in an email I was offered a measly 15% off the next cruise on RCCL.......I think NOT!! read more

Rating less than zero. We paid cruise, airfare, excursions and beverage packages with travel insurance a month in advance of the February cruise out of Barbados. Our flight was cancelled three hours before departure with no way to make connections to make the ship. Our refund claim was filed February 6. We are still waiting for $900 of our pre-paid funds. They do not return phone calls...the website is useless...travel insurance people do not have a phone number. There is too much frustration for this space. Expect nothing from Royal Caribbean Cruise lines when your flight is cancelled and you purchased travel insurance. Today is April 2...where is the rest of our money? read more

Our family has been on a number of royal Caribbean cruises over the last several years. We have yet to be disappointed by any of them. This last cruise we went on was better than any of the other ones because they went to 4 ports instead of three. I prefer going to ports instead of being at sea. Their private island is very exceptional. It had great snorkeling, great swimming, all the free food that you would normally get on the ship was served on the island. If you want to do water parks or other type of paid adventures you can do that or you can just go there and enjoy the free beach with free lifejackets. If there was one area I'd say that the Royal Caribbean cruise line needs to do a little better in that would be offering more fresh fruit type treats as desserts and better desserts. The desserts are pretty substandard and not really worth it in my opinion. I also don't always wanna go and sit down for dinner but if you don't go and sit down and get dressed up and don't get as good of food. I would rather not have to sit for two hours in the evening in order to get lobster or decent exceptional meal. Sometimes I just wanna go to the cafeteria be quick about it but still get good quality like lobster. Overall though I would go on another royal Caribbean cruise in a heartbeat. One thing I didn't notice with this last trip compared to many of our previous trips was that they really got the check in process down. There were no lines or waiting we literally walked right onto the ship that was amazing. Even with all the showing your Covid vaccine etc. they were efficient. The exit off the ship was just as efficient. As long as you have a passport there's no stopping they have a photo ID that identifies you on your passport and customs is a breeze you don't have to stop for anything literally again just walk off the ship. Two really great new features that they've done. read more
