We wanted a European cruise and RCCL was recommended to us by our travel agent. </p><p> We started out in Venice, staying for 2 night with accommodations through RCCL. The hotel was just ok, but we were in Venice so we didn't spend too much time in the hotel. We booked all of our transfers through RC and they were seamless. We never had an issue getting to the hotel, boat, or airport. </p><p>The boat is older and is on the smaller side but since this was my first cruise, I was fascinated by all of it. We were seated at dinner with 4 other young couples on honeymoons. The food was pretty good and they paid a lot of attention to my food allergies. The service was outstanding- from the waitress to the guy who makes your beds to all the bartenders- everyone was 100% accommodating.</p><p>Our ship went from Venice to Dubrovnik, Croatia, to Kusadasi, Turkey, to Santorini, Greece to Corfu Greece. The excursions we booked...</p>...

However I'm really looking forward to taking one. My best friend and her Husband vacationed with the royal caribbean. She said it was exciting and relaxing. She also explained about all the beauty and beautiful service. I'm looking forward to my trip this may....

The service was top notch, the food was excellent, and there were many many great activities. It was an fabulous combination of relaxation and excitement. We particularly enjoyed the fun and long dinners....

It is not a party ship for young (19-25 year olds) like the Carnival line. There are many families and couples who are just married. Every passenger we spoke with was educated, which made for a much better time. The excursions were fantastic. In Cozumel we did one excursion that included driving an ATV, snorkeling, seeing ruins, an crocodile preserve, and visiting a light house. We didn't have to choose just one activity! The boat itself was clean and the workers were incredibly nice. The waiters learned our preferences by the second day and we were assigned to a tabel that was perfect for us. The mini-golf course was only crowded the first day, but the rock wall always had a line. Still well worth it to be able to look around from the top. The indoor pool was warm and quiet, while the children were all at the outdoor pool. The entertainment wasn't as impressive as I had heard from other reviewers, but everything else was so impressive that it didn't......

It went by sooooooooooooooo quickly. and i will sooooooooooooooooooo go again.  I can't say enough about this trip but the people were nice and the rooms were clean and the food was very very good....

If you are looking for fun take a cruise on Royal Carribean. We had a great time. The fun was great and the staff was wonderful. I plan on taking another trip this year. If you go twice, you get a gold card that takes money off your trip and gives you coupons for money off items you buy on the ship....

I would love to go on this cruise again. ...

Everything was very planned out and well organized. The only complaint I have about my vacation is the food. When you go on a cruise ship, you expect the food to be top quality cuisine. Everything was in place with the service and menus, however the end product always seemed to be lacking in some way. It was still good food, just not to die for and probably not worth what we were paying....

We sailed from Venice after two nights in a qualint B&amp;B about 10 minutes from St. Mark's Square, which we found through Google™. The stops included Athens, Kusaqdasi (Ephesus), Iraklion (Crete) and Corfu. We did shore excursions at each port, and were able to see truly wondrous sites - the ruins of the Minoan culture, which blossomed in parallel to the Egyptians as trading competitors, The Parthnon, and, of course, the shopping sites (for her, naturally)....
