Royal Caribbean, Voyager of the Seas

never aagin, busy ship, too many people, fighting for sunbeds, problem with our seapasses for buying drinks onboard throughout the cruise and desk reception staff unhelpful, cabin staff very helpful though with cabin problems etc, good entertainment, not happy about being kicked of the ship early on departure day and having to spend a day in barcelona aiport until flight at 19.00, smoking allowed in some of the bars and smell of smoke throughout main area of ship, hence namename "the smokey boat" may cruise again but with a better cruiseline, there are better ones, appears RC trading on its older reputation from few years ago.

Terrific New Year's Cruise; Cruise Director was the best; shows were well done, the food in the dining room was very well prepared; and the waiters were attentive and friendly.

The activities on board were varied and interesting. We've taken many cruises and this one was the best.

This was our first RCCL cruise for 5 years and we did notice a deterioration in standards. The organised tours were expensive compared with doing your own thing e.g Rome by train 9 euros return including unimited use of the metro compared to 89 Euros for their Rome on your own bus trip. We were due to visit Toulon but berthed at La Seyne-Sur-Mer which using the RCCL's own words "is some considerable distance from Toulon" but we will take you there by bus for $10. We just had a pleasant walk into La Seyne-Sur-Mer. The reason I was given by Customer Relations for not going directly to Toulon was "it is a navel port and they do not allow cruise ships to bearth there" obviously no one told the Captain of the last cruise ship we were on as he did go right in to Toulon.

je remercie encore une autre fois toute l'equipe et je vous donne 1000/5 et pas seulement 5/5.

I was excited to go on the Vogager of the Seas because I'd been on 2 other Royal Carribean cruises with great results. They cost more than Carnival, so I was expecting more. I was disappointed. We waited in line for 2 hours just to board the ship. We had booked mytime dining, thinking that would be convenient. Sadly, the service really suffered. 2 times we waited for 10-15 minutes after being seated, just to be acknowleded and waited on. When we visited the Johnny Rockets restaurant onboard, we had to wait in line for 40 minutes just to be seated. They told us 15 minutes, but it was 40. While we were all waiting for a seat, they were dancing & entertaining inside the restaurant, so people weren't leaving. When there's a wait, they should just serve the food and move on. I was also disappointed with the food selections in the dining room. Each night they had a list of rather bland things that could be ordered any night (salmon, chicken breast & sirloin) and then 2 or 3 other selections. One was usually an Indian dish or something and then a couple of other selections. I was surprised at how limited it was. And the quality wasn't as good as we had on the Carnival Conquest. On a bright side, the ship is beautiful and the cabin service was very good. We had to miss our stop in Jamaica due to weather and when we arrived back in Galveston the fog kept us on the ship until 4 PM. But, we had a good time just relaxing.

This was third cruise with Voyager. First Caribbean, second Mediterrean, both with friends, third mediterranean again, with 9 family members. Excellent from start to finish. So much so, family booking again this year. Brilliant ship, excellent facilities, wonderful staff. Loved the fact it catered so well for the kids as well as adults. Cannot find fault with any procedure from booking to leaving. Missed the fact we didn't have a balcony room third time around but, with so many of us going, we all wanted to be together. Can't wait to go back on, and look forward to first trip on Oasis!!

the most wonderful honeymoon anyone could ask for, voyager of the seas was such a fantastic ship.

the staff are so welcoming so helpful they really do make your stay onboard the best anyone could ask for

the food is out of this world we ate mostly at windjammers which i think is the best choice onboard,

if this will be anyones first cruise you will be booking your second visit very soon as did we,

the port of call depends on your cruise, we only got off a few times as we found the ship has so much to do that you really dont have to get off at all, but do especially Rome :-)

the staterooms are so nice the stateroom attendents are wonderful from the moment you enter your room they know your name and always remember you throughout your stay William our stateroom attendent was wonderful always greeted us always friendly always there for your every needs we have asked for him during our next stay

not sure what else to say but book yourself a cruise and have the most wonderful time as we did you'll love it i promise

This was our first ever cruise. We travelled as two families from Norway.

Our cruise started in Barcelona, onto Naples, Rome, Florence, Villefranche and Marseille before going back to Barcelona. From entering the port at Barcelona, One hour later, we were in our room- not bad!

Our room was to house two adults and 3 children - 8,11 and 13 years old- fine. Food was okay, and drinks were expensive (7 dollars average) Service okay but annoying (american smile, good morning sirrrrr, have a nice day sirrrrr, etc) Ports of call- naples- horrible, Rome- couldn't be bothered to travel 1 and half hours, florence- did Pisa instead-okay, villefranche- fantastic place, Marseille- nice and frenchy. Happy to find Villefranche and have decided to holiday there next year (Monaco, Nice, Cannes) If we cruise again , we will try an English line instead, Don't like Americans I suppose.

this was my first cruise ever and i would definately recomend Voyager of the seas to every one..

we have just come back from the voyager of the seas our first ever cruise. although we managed to enjoy it, we were treated dreadfully. freezing cold pools 100's if not 1000,s of complaints and they still lied about the pools being warm. my wife did not use the pool once and at least 2 people i meet had nose bleeds from the icy cold pools with no heating!airborne chemicals with clearly marked toxic symbols were being used near to where my kids were playing which made us feel ill, when we complained we were told they were only using water, despite staff wearing breathing apparatus.worst thing of all, you have no rights what so ever out at sea, when somebody arranged a meeting on the last day where we all signed a petition and an amazing 500 + strong crowd attended, royal carribbean employed a film crew and a legal eagle to film the whole thing. no rights what so ever, no protection in accordance to european laws and no 1988 data protection laws applied when we protested to the filming.the captains very words on the first night were "health and safety on board is everyone responsibility" until you report something and its first ignored and then secondly covered up, worst holiday customer service i have encountered anywhere in the world very very upset!had a letter today apologising for the ship leaving dry dock incomplete and not ready to voyage, so why the disgusting cover up!cant knock the waiters or ground staff though, meet some very nice and interesting people, who i commend.overall we still feel very disgusted by royal caribbean's attitude to profit over customer satisfaction & health and safety.... holiday 7-8 out of 10 customer service & satisfaction -10 out of 10
