Royal Caribbean International 4+

Not fair

I made a reservation for a junior suite in March, paid for the majority of the trip but still had a balance, I had a credit card on file that was going to be charged the remaining balance as we got closer to the trip, not seeing any activity I got curious see if everything was okay just to find out my reservation was cancelled, I lost it, I can’t believe that they didn’t call me, they said they sent email reminders but I’ve checked, my spam, junk & deleted emails and didn’t find anything from them, I luckily got some help from a customer service agent and was able to reinstate my trip, I paid the remaining balance and lost my junior suite accommodation, I now have a smaller room, I feel totally ripped off, the sad part is that there was junior suites available but they wanted to charge me an additional 2k , that real scum bag customer service, I may not ever referred royal Caribbean to anyone anymore, Shane on you royal Caribbean for trying to charge me double for something I already paid for, I’m totally disgusted, what ever happened to customer service, I called about 5 times trying to get help, I don’t want a free upgrade I just want what I paid for.

Cruise 9-14 to 9-9 Grandeur of the Seas

Had a great time on the ship. Service was awesome to point someone out specifically “Deva” miss washy washy at the Windjammer was so much fun with amazing energy. Our room attendant Ramon was very helpful and attentive to our needs. The entertainment was awesome with the exception of the 70’s night show with some of the dancers had zero energy and never smiled the whole time. We did mention this to the activity director Katrina and she said she would review the tape of the show. The comedian was really funny, the bands, the dancers, singers, flag show, night club was amazing. We stayed in a ocean view stateroom which was great with the exception of mold growing on the shower curtain. Plenty of storage and drawers for our belongings.
The Solarium was beautiful looking but could not even use it due to it feeling like a sauna inside there. My wife has asthma so she couldn’t stay in their but I was also sweating just sitting at a table. For being the only adult area for relaxation in a pool there needs to be some way to get a cross breeze or some kind of circulation in this area. Our past 2 cruises were on the Oasis of the Seas and we were curious on how it would be on a much smaller ship. We were very pleased with the service and calmness that the ship had to offer
I hope this review is helpful for your consideration.

Check in nightmare

We were on time for our 2:30 check in. We were directed to go to a line that had people ranging from 2:2:30 check ins. We then stood in line for 2 hours while they let people who had arrived late to go ahead of us. Why???? We had beat ourselves to get there on time. If you are late you should wait behind people who were on time. This calling people who were late to the front of the line went on for 1.5 hours. Ridiculous. Then there were people who had all kinds of exceptions that had to go ahead of us. The customers standing around me were mad and frustrated. The people wearing teal shirts were idiots and no one seemed to know what they were doing. The teal shirted idiots did not know what each were telling the customers waiting in line. I did not feel catered too. Also standing for 2hrs in the heat…no one offered water or drinks. The teal shirted idiots spoke harshly and were rude. I know we are all dealing with covid but we were asked to show proof 3 times through the check in process. Why? I even had to submit proof of vaccination days before. Why?? Get your act together Royal Caribbean. By the time I got through check in I was miserable hot sweaty and frustrated and thirsty. Cruise has not left yet so I’m hoping they can change my mind and emotions soon or part 2 to this review will be even more negative. I hope writing this review changes this process for someone. With technology it doesn’t have to be so hard.
