Voyager of the Seas Reviews

My wife and I and the sister in law were on the Voyager last Autumn. The mother in law was susposed to come along, but due to illness we had to change plans at the last minute. Embarkation at Barcelona was swift and we were onboard within about 30 minutes. Our rooms weren't ready yet, this seems to happen a lot of cruises boarding at Barcelona. No complaints here, we just headed straight to the Windjammer for lunch instead. The Voyager, although the oldest in the Voyager class, it is still in pretty good shape. Our Promenade view room, the first time we had chosen this category, was a good choice: costing slightly more than an inside room but with a view of the Royal Promenade and similar size to a small balcony room. We would definitely choose this category again. One of my favourite features of the Royal Promenade is the 24 hour cafe which came in very handy for any late night drinks and snacks. The food, service and presentation in the main dining room were all good and the buffet offered plenty of choice and seating. Entertainment was varied and the ice show was good as usual. With the large number of passengers on the cruise, we were happy to find some peace and quiet at the top of the ship in the Viking Crown lounge area which also offered good views. The itinerary for this cruise was Western Mediterranean. We enjoyed the ports, but we have been to all of them on previous cruises before.

Voyager of the Seas was the first Royal Caribbean ship that I ever went on, having previously only travelled with NCL. I went with my wife, my mum and my brother. My mum doesn't travel much so it was a treat to her to be able to try out so many activities and sample the diversity in food at the same time. She loved it. For me, the ship is at the optimum size possible, not too big, not too small. There's a lot of public spaces to sit, yet the passenger capacity is not so big that it gets overcrowded wherever you go. The waiting time for dinner or the seating time for shows were acceptable, unlike the larger ships. My mum loved the high street, it was almost unbelievable for her that a ship can be as big as the entire street where she lives. Despite not having some of the flashy things like the wave machine, it didn't concern us as there are more than enough for the ship to keep us entertained for the 2 weeks or so we were onboard. The dining room was extremely grand, the theatre was massive and the skate rink was cosy. For me who has only made 8 cruises all on different ships, the Voyager of the Seas is my favourite.

My family and I had a lovely time on this ship. The staff were great, very friendly but not over the top. The service in the restaurant was top class, as was the food. You could eat and drink practically all day and night, there was a good choice of food at various places. There were plenty of things to do and a good choice of stops. We had an inside cabin which meant it was very dark at night, if we went again I think I'd pay the extra and get a cabin with a balcony. There was a small cinema showing current films, the evening shows were ok, some better than others, the show on ice was very good. One complaint was the size of the swimming pool which was small and also the water was very cold so I didn't actually go in it. The gym was well stocked with equipment and the various hot tubs were good.

This was our first cruise and my husband and I couldn't believe how amazing this ship was when we first boarded. I hadn't told him about the promanade onboard and his eyes nearly popped out his head when he saw a street down the middle of the ship! The glass lifts also added to the wow factor when we made out way to our stateoom. We were welcomed by our attendant and he made our stay special with his friendly greetings every time he saw us. The entertainment on the ship is good but the ice show was excellent! The food was amazing and we used the Italian speciality restaurant for my 50th Birthday - the evening was so memorable and again the service was excellent. I went to the spa to have a manicure and was impressed by their service too. I would definitely return to this ship and it has spurred us to go on three other RCI ships of the same class since this first time. I booked through Iglu and at a time there was volcanic ash-clouds but the service I received from Iglu's staff was excellent- when we needed answers, they gave them.

My family and I enjoyed our first cruise on the Voyager. The amenities. food, entertainment and staff were excellent. We are hoping to plan our next cruise in the near future - we've been bitten by the cruise bug.

It was my first cruise and I had a good time, it met more than my expectations. The staff were excellent and the food was very good. Am now planning for the Caribbean one next year and have been telling friends and relatives how good this was. Its money well spent.

I have just returned from what I can only describe as a holiday of a life time. Everything was excellent from the staff to the amenities. But I do have one gripe with the inside staterooms, although they are immaculate and you are very well catered for by your attendant, if your claustrophobic and your party has more than 2 persons, go for the window or balcony . Apart from that I cannot find any faults and have nothing but praise, the ice shows, theatre, parades and food are FABULOUS!!

The ship was great. The only problem was the work getting done on the ship but that didn’t make much difference to my holiday. We will be looking into going again next year. What made the ship so good was the amazing staff, who I would like to give extra credit to are Lilanne who worked in the vault and the pool she was fantastic very friendly and great service also was Ali who worked in the theatre more of the staff she serve like them always smiling and happy to help.

This is one of the most amazing holidays we have ever been on. The only thing I can criticize is the size of the stateroom. We only had the basic one and looking back I would choose a more spacious one next time. We had such a good time I am about to book again for December 08. The food was fantastic and the shows, kids club and service from all the staff were brilliant. I enjoyed all the different ports of call. As my children do not enjoy trekking round like myself and my husband we discovered kids club, where the children were well looked after. This was fantastic, and meant me and my husband got to spend time together knowing your children were happy and in good hands. I just can’t fault the holiday and can’t wait to go again.
