Quick fun weekend on Royal Caribbean. Disappointing with late boarding for such a short cruise. However, food and service excellent as always. Entertainment up to usual standards and ice skating show is still highly impressive.

So this holiday has been absolutely fantastic for the children. The kids clubs are divided by age which has been perfect as each of the children developed their own cruise friendship groups. The pools and waterslides were an absolute highlight and an activity the children wanted to do every day. The silent discos, Karaoke ice skating show and grease were phenomenal. The staff provide exceptional service, they really go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, safe and included in the cruise family experience. The only two things that stoped this being a 5 star experience for us was the food menu in the windjammer was very bland. And the juices tasted like coloured water rather than the tropical, mango or strawberry and kiwi flavours they were meant to be. In addition to this the entertainment was great for the children and great for the older demographic but for us parents/middle aged cruisers outside of the big shows there wasn't too many activities we were interested in from the menu of activities included. We will definitely book to go on a cruise again but this time will pay closer attention to the activities on board to ensure there really is something for everyone in terms of entertainment.

Further information

Onboard

On Royal Caribbean cruises, dining options include traditional dining with set times (around 6:00 PM for early and 8:00 PM for late), flexible My Time Dining (usually 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM), specialty restaurants with variable reservation-based times, and extended hours for buffet and casual dining venues to accommodate varied schedules. Keep in mind that specifics can change, so check the cruise line's website or contact customer service for the latest information.

Royal Caribbean strives to accommodate various dietary requirements for their guests. They offer a range of dining options to cater to different dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and other specific dietary restrictions. When making a reservation or prior to your cruise, it's recommended to inform Royal Caribbean of your dietary requirements so they can make the necessary arrangements and provide you with suitable meal options. Their main dining rooms, specialty restaurants, and buffet areas often have options that cater to different dietary preferences.

Generally, Royal Caribbean guests have a luggage allowance comprising checked and carry-on bags. Checked bags usually have a weight limit of around 50 pounds or 23 kilograms each, with varying allowed quantities. Carry-on bags can include personal items, medications, and valuables, and are typically brought to staterooms. Special items like pushchairs and medical equipment might be allowed. Baggage policies can change, so it's advisable to refer to Royal Caribbean's official website.

Royal Caribbean features a versatile "Wear What You Want" approach for most of its cruises. While formal wear is optional, smart-casual attire is common for evenings. The cruise line encourages self-expression in attire while ensuring respectful dressing in public areas.

Iglu Cruise has a team in place to provide necessary assistance to make your holiday run smoothly. If anyone in your party requires medical or mobility assistance, notify your Cruise Specialist at the time of booking or as soon as possible if circumstances change after booking. The Special Assistance Team will email a form 6-8 weeks before departure, which must be completed and returned.

Travel Requirements

All passengers (including all children), should hold their own full 10-year (5 years for children) British Citizen (GBR) passport. The passport should be valid for at least 6 months past your expected return date to the UK, as this is often a criteria for entry to certain countries.

Royal Caribbean strongly recommends that all guests consider purchasing travel insurance to protect themselves against unexpected events that could disrupt their travel plans, such as trip cancellations, medical emergencies, baggage loss, or travel delays.
