ddgleason Posted February 15, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2012 So many threads on here are negative and inflamatory that we really need one that is positive. What do you just absolutely LOVE about Royal Caribbean? I mean something that if another cruise line didn't have it, you might not book with them? Time to bring some happiness to the RC boards. Let's see, I absolutely LOVE that Royal has some of the absolutely best/nicest people on their ships. Really hands down, the best service we have ever gotten has been on board Royal Caribbean ships. Ok, who's next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny_Skipper Posted February 15, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I love their Elemis spa products. I know they are available other places but I don't think other cruise lines! And I agree, RCI does have a very friendly staff!! Best, Sunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted February 15, 2012 #3 Share Posted February 15, 2012 The service has always been outstanding! The folks on the ships really CARE that you have a great vacation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emeraldcity Posted February 15, 2012 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2012 The Centrum! They pioneered the Centrum on the Sovereign and I was privileged to be on one of the very first Sovereign cruises in Feb. '88. It wowwed me then, and it brings back a rush every time I board another RC ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Shippy Posted February 15, 2012 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Not only are those extra perks wonderful but when we took a Celebrity cruise last year, they gave us their Elite status because of our new Diamond status on Royal ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshrich Posted February 15, 2012 #9 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I love relaxing in the solarium knowing I can do as little as I want all day long, and I love that 'bing' sound when I first enter on embarkation day as my seapass is swiped for the first time.

BadBoysDriveAudi Posted February 15, 2012 #10 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Basketball courts. Especially the Freedom class ships with full-court basketball. The wind affects your shot when the ship is in motion but I'd take that over no bball any day! I hear the Oasis and Allure have addressed the wind issue.

Cruise_Kitten Posted February 15, 2012 #11 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Love the staff, so friendly and will do anything to help. Love the food, my waistline doesn't but my taste buds do! Love the fact that no where else on earth can I see so many different destinations and only unpack once. Love that I can do as little or as much as I want to. Love the people we meet on board. Love the beds......I don't want to get out of them in the morning Love the Solarium.......a little me time never goes amiss Love the entertainment! Love the way Royal is always one step ahead of the game. Love that Royal hasn't lost the bit of traditional cruising with Formal Night Love the bread rolls you get at dinner. Love that I have the flexibility to choose if I want to go to the MDR or the WJ or have Room Service. Love the fact that there are so many things I love that I can't list them all in one go :D CK x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksmdcruisin Posted February 15, 2012 #13 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Yes, I will join you in your love of the staff. Some good memories! I also really liked the Jewel. I realised how much I liked her when we arrived back in Miami and we had to get off. For good. Normally by the end of a holiday I´m ready to get back home. Not this time. I could stayed on for a bit longer. Ok, this has nothing to do with RCI but it is one thing that I like about cruising. The abscence of cars (while out on sea, of course.)

birdylady Posted February 15, 2012 #16 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I love Graham Seymour. SUPER CD. Very talented. I love Captain Rob. Very personable. I love Quest and Love & Marriage games. I love the Solarium Adults only area. Nice and quiet. I love the free drink tasting on the promenade. I love the first class service we're given, whether it's the dining hall or room steward. Always makes me feel pampered. I love that you always get a smile and hello for any employee you pass. (boy that must get old for them).

seashinesunshine Posted February 15, 2012 #17 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I love the rock climbing wall! Great free entertainment, something you can't do everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffy116 Posted February 15, 2012 #18 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I love the fact that ship-to-ship, the staff is the best! The consistently make the cruise a vacation to remember. I love the fact that once onboard, I know that I have no worries and can relax, be taken care of and feel like I'm special. I love falling asleep on the wonderful, comfortable beds and waking up at a new, different port without having to do a single thing..no packing, no driving, no flying, no rushing. I love deciding whether I want to do something or do nothing and both are great! I love hanging the thing on my door to request coffee and danish to wake me up in the mornings and knowing I can choose to have a full, hot and delicious breakfast on my balcony, in the MDR, Johnny Rockets, WJ, or a small breakfast in the Promenade Cafe, while planning my day. I love the waiter helping me to decide I should indulge and have 2 appetizers rather than making a decision on one. I love that he slips two of the breads onto my plate during dinner. I love, love, love that if I get too full during dinner and decline dessert, my waiter will pack a "to go" dessert for me to take with me. I love watching the shows, watching people on the FlowRider, love shopping in the Promenade with all the tastings, love the parades, love the ice show. I love the beautiful ships and the sound it makes when my seapass card passes through the machine when I'm entering the ship..pa-ping!!! I love waking up with a smile on my face every morning (except the last one :() and going to bed smiling every night...except the last one :(:(. __________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Faith Posted February 15, 2012 #19 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I love the Solariums, complete with pool AND whirlpool, and the beautiful ship design. With every ship I sail on Royal I notice how much care they put into color schemes and artwork. The ships are beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruizeCast Posted February 15, 2012 #20 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I love the new interactive trivia and the Burger King-style hash browns for breakfast. (Weird, I know ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddgleason Posted February 15, 2012 Author #21 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Forgot about the artwork! I love the artwork and the decor. Last summer we went on Carnival on the very pink ship. Pink is my signature color but even I thought it was over the top! Love how the Royal ships look! And since I am on that one, I also love the layout. I love that I can go from forward to aft without having to go up or down a deck to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach1 Posted February 15, 2012 #22 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I love how nice they treat my daughter - they always treat her as a "person" if you will - from the dining room, to her favorite bartender who makes her the best smoothies :) anyway she wants it. ;) And the fact that they always seem to know our names...I love it when they say "welcome back" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser-007 Posted February 15, 2012 #23 Share Posted February 15, 2012 We don't fly to cruise because it would eat up 1/2 our vacation budget so we've been going on the EOS. I love this ship so much by now that I feel like I want to help take care of it when I'm aboard. So I would have to say that I love their ships. And as other posters mentioned, the staff is top notch. They recognize your face from day to day and get to know you- it's like you have a friend everywhere! Great thread!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted February 15, 2012 #24 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I love the Solariums, complete with pool AND whirlpool, and the beautiful ship design. With every ship I sail on Royal I notice how much care they put into color schemes and artwork. The ships are beautiful! I'll go with Faith on this one, I hadn't added anything because I have only been on 6 cruises and all of them Royal, but I do love the Voyager and Freedom class Solariums. Not hot (pun intended) on the Oasis class Solarium, but the ship has much more to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksuds Posted February 15, 2012 #25 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I love the staff. They have an amazing ability to remember you personally. As odd as this may seem......I actually love those time capsules you shower in. They keep the bathroom floor from becoming flooded. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
