For those thinking of going on a cruise but who are unsure which cruise company to go with, a quick internet search of reviews for the numerous cruise operators will highlight the good and bad points with all, making deciding all the easier.

Royal Caribbean Cruise Line offers a wide choice of itineraries across their fleet of ships, all with good and bad points. It is worth bearing in mind that what suits one person may not suit another and vice versa. Basically, just because your neighbour hated the food on his cruise, doesn’t mean you will on yours.

The reviews for Royal Caribbean Cruises are generally favourable; almost everyone agrees that the accommodation is of a very high standard with luxurious soft furnishings and spacious rooms. Even those staying in the indoor cabins agree there was no ‘claustrophobic’ feeling even though there was no window to the outside.

Food is always an issue, whether it is on a cruise or an all inclusive holiday, and even some people who self cater find the need to complain food isn’t to ‘standard’. Everybody enjoys different things, but Royal Caribbean offers a wide choice from snacks to main meals and plenty of fresh fruit; there seems to be enough to keep almost everyone happy.

Activities and entertainment are there if you require them. Some people complain that they didn’t enjoy the loud music of the live band, so if you don’t enjoy loud music then don’t go, and if you don’t like 70’s music, stay away from the 70’s theme night. Instead enjoy the evening in the casinos, at the classical music recitals or one of the other choices sure to please you.
