Royal caribbean Cruises Question?!?

Question

i am going on a Royal Caribbean Cruise in February 2008 and it is called the Freedom of the Seas...if you are going on this cruise please tell me because that would be so cool

Answer 1

I just came back from my first cruise on Mariner of the Seas. The trip overall was pretty good, but there were too many kids on the ship (went during Spring/Easter Break). The worst part of the trip (and I do not hold the ship/company responsible) was the kids that were running around, playing on the elevator and running around all over the ship. Kids were trying to buy alcohol and attend the adult shows and dance club. The parents need to be held responsible for letting their kids run rampant, assuming, "we're on a ship where could the kids go?" and thinking that the ship would watch the kids.

One piece of advice: There were incidents of people "losing" their SeaPass and finding charges placed on them (allegedly by kids finding/stealing them). While the cruise line should have been more diligent in reviewing who were submitting cards for purchases (and checking the signature on the card), I would keep close watch to your SeaPass and monitor your balances (you can do that via the TV in your room).

Overall, I enjoyed my trip, (be careful of those charges and the mandatory gratuities, they add up!) my bartender was the best! The entertainment was nice, though a bit hokey. I enjoyed the trivia contests and my sisters dropped money at Bingo and at the Casino. The food is pretty good, service was nice (our waiter knew everyone by name), and while a bit of a burden, please DO dress up for the formal nights. While Freedom and Mariner are different ships, I think that they are in the same class and you will have a good time.

I would do some things differently (leave from NY to avoid having to fly and worry about weight of liquor and souvenirs you bring back), but I would definitely go on another cruise.

Answer 2

I went on a Royal Caribbean Cruise and loved it! I was treated like I was royalty by all the staff (I know they treated everyone like that, but they had a way of making you think you were special). The food is awesome, however, the coffee was crappy. But, lots of cream and sugar fixed that. It was one big party and I am jealous, I want to go again.
