robandana Posted August 29, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) So much gloom and doom.... How about you tell everyone what you like about Royal Caribbean. I'll start, I like the innovation and thought RC puts into the new ships...each new ship brings cool and fun things to do and see, amazing dinning venues and some great entertainment. I also like how they retrofit many of these innovations on the older ships... Edited August 29, 2014 by robandana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshrich Posted August 29, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Hi, I love sailing RCI, I am not always happy about some of the things they do like better prices for late booking that existing cruisers cannot access but thats life. I love the countdown to a cruise (47 days today), seeing the ship and hearing that ding as you enter for the first time. a bad day on a ship (if there is one) is always better than a good day in the office. I also like formal nights (am I alone?), I dress more and more casually for work so it's nice once in a while to put a nice suit or tux on and get some photo's, I think this will probably go though as DD is rolled out.

hollon Posted August 29, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I have to agree it's so nice to see "everyone" from staff/guests who are friendly, especially the younger kids at starbucks on the Oasis, they actually talk to you and ask you questions, not just "are you having a good time", all the workers we have encountered are extremely nice.

Can go on... #RCCLfan Sent from my SCH-I435 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grovehill Posted August 29, 2014 #8 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I enjoy that feeling ... after all the stress of getting to the ship, making sure everyone has everything they need ... of putting down your carry-on.

Tosara21 Posted August 29, 2014 #9 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Beautiful ships with outstanding service from all personnel. Just love the Royal Promenade it really gives a sense of space. Great food and entertainment......in fact the perfect holiday. Thankyou RCI x x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorisis Posted August 29, 2014 #10 Share Posted August 29, 2014 RCI is THE MOST innovative line, Allure and Oasis are destinations in themselves. I also like the fact that we were Diamond on our first RC cruise because of our Celebrity cruises. And I certainly appreciate the Diamond Rewards.

marmstro Posted August 29, 2014 #11 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I enjoy that feeling ... after all the stress of getting to the ship, making sure everyone has everything they need ... of putting down your carry-on. You take a deep breath an say .... I'm On A CRUISE!!!!!!!! :) I totally agree! Last year when we stepped onto the ship my brother-in-law turned and said, "Welcome home." After months of planning and anticipation there is nothing like the feeling of stepping onto that ship, knowing that the next days are going to be filled with great food, wonderful service, and exciting new adventures. And Royal Caribbean delivers all three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeySailor Posted August 29, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) Knowing that all I need for a great vacation is within walking distance No cooking or chores and being well looked after. After the 1st night, we disconnect from reality:cool: and relax, drink eat and chillax! Maybe we have been fortunate, but we truly have never had a bad cruise on RC Guess that's why we go back year after year:) Our glasses are pretty much always 1/2 full and Free:D Likes: Giovanni's - Suites - Adventure Ocean Program - Itineraries - Room service - The experience! Happy Days! Edited August 29, 2014 by PompeySailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinman66 Posted August 29, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I like the effort they make into making their ships different to others and a true destination Plus they are loyal in my opinion to their passengers Every business can have problems but all in all they have created a family environment amongst their loyal passengers with lounges and special cruises I'm loyal to royal.

Creepella Posted August 29, 2014 #14 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Count me in as loving formal nights. I also like the different venues on the ships: so much variety. We always find the service to be friendly and attentive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted August 29, 2014 #15 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I'd like to say how much I appreciate a website that works!! I have several Celebrity cruises booked, one that is paid in full, and I am unable to see the reservations on the Celebrity website. Can't add them either. So can't make any specialty reservations or shore excursions or anything or see what is already booked. I just bought a beverage package for my upcoming Royal cruise on the website and it was so pleasantly refreshingly EASY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopster95 Posted August 29, 2014 #16 Share Posted August 29, 2014 How about you tell everyone what you like about Royal Caribbean I discovered very quickly that I place a very extreme high value on the site-lines from top deck when sailing into and out of ports. NCL, X and HAL cannot come even close to the almost 360 degree view you get for all the RCL classes of ships. For those who have sailed the other lines, you know exactly what I mean... NCL & HAL the top deck railings are enclosed glass 6 feet high, When in the pool deck area the 180 degree view looking forward is a HUGE block wall of glass that are the suites, can't see anything. When I go to Alaska, under the Golden Gate, etc I feel that so far RCL has by far and away had the best experience that has added value to me memories. Now let's add in the helipad!! :D Pompeysailor's awesome quote: "Maybe we have been fortunate, but we truly have never had a bad cruise on RC. Our glasses are pretty much always 1/2 full and Free" I too have never had a bad experience on an RCL ship, totally superb. I suspect my next two sailings, and especially the almost sold out Quantum, will be just as phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSusan Posted August 29, 2014 #17 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I'm just thankful that I am not at work when I'm on the ship. At this stage in my life, I am thankful that I can vacation and spend time with my two children who are now in High School. I know that these family vacations are now numbered and I need to cherish and enjoy them while I have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted August 29, 2014 #18 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Along with what in our case has been excellent service, we like the consistency of the on board experience provided cruise to cruise. We also like the variety of options with ships, different venues and entertainment, and innovations that IMO set RCI apart and can offer something for everyone.

OfTheSeasCruiser Posted August 29, 2014 #19 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The amazing service on every RC cruise we've been on. The outstanding ships with so much to do. The great food in the MDR (imo) :) The entertainment. The events going on all over the ship. Never had a bad Royal Caribbean Cruise, the best out there in our opinion.

scooter90 Posted August 29, 2014 #21 Share Posted August 29, 2014 That feeling that once the muster drill is done, I'm not at anyone's beck and call for the next X number of days. Time to grab a drink, sit down with my DH and watch the sea go by. Just to spend time together without the interference of everyday life and knowing all our needs and desires will be met for us while on the ship. Instead of me being the once taking care of others, its time for me to be spoiled. For me, that is the beginning of our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Paul Posted August 29, 2014 #24 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I am a "glass half full" kind of person. With Royal Caribbean I always feel like the glass is 99% full. Stateroom attendants, wait staff, bar staff, concierge, guest services staff, EVERYONE all do a fantastic job making the guests feel welcome. It's what keeps us coming for more.
