Royal Caribbean Monarch of the Seas

Pros:  Great weekend. Recommend for anyone who needs a quick getaway to recharge and relax.

Just returned from a wonderful weekend retreat on the Monarch of the Seas. We have gone on  this cruise many times  before , and were very pleasantly surprised with the excellent service that was lacking, along with  the ...

Pros: NOTHUING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING
Cons: Everything, they lost my precious bag (a gift from my mother)

 I scheduled the tour in Venice, Italy for 10 days for 8 people, 8 people !!! That's a lot of business. Somehow, my luggage was the only one that disappeared. They lost my luggage  in venice, Italy, and then told me they were ...

Pros:
The dinner steward that warmed our coffe up for us & the room stewards.
Cons: This is not the way to vacation, the best way is an ALL ENCLUSIVE resort

This was our FIRST CRUISE and if my husband has anything to say OUR LAST!!! We were on this cruise with quite a large group from work, and everyone kept telling us how much you will love a cruise, its great, best vacation ever etc. WRONG...Not sure about ...

Pros: Ship was nice, food was good. That really is it for this cruise.
Cons: Because a smaller ship, not as many activities. Excursion was BAD, very poor customer service.

This was our third cruise with Royal Caribbean, and our worst experience. Overall the ship was nice, service was OK. But we had a VERY BAD experience on the bike excursion in Ensenada. And Royal Caribbean was NO HELP in correcting the issues. The ...

Pros: Excellent Service! Employees made cruise unforgettable. Great shows and activities!
Cons: Tasteless Food.

My family and I chose to take a cruise on the Monarch of the Seas to celebrate my 21st birthday! Besides the bland food, we had a blast! Our ship went to Coco Cay and Nassau, Bahamas, from Port Canaveral, Florida. The service we had was impeccable. ...

Pros: None
Cons: Royal Caribbean is a filthy low-life company who doesn't give a rats @$$ about you

We waited with excitement for 2 months to go on our first cruise. Royal Caribbean was recommended by a friend so we were ready for a good time, right? Well after being on the boat three hours a message had been left in our room that our luggage had been ...

Pros: Good value for the money; food is very good overall, staff is friendly and helpful.
Cons: No at-sea days; too short a cruise; ports were fun but not that exciting.

This 4-day cruse to San Diego, Catalina Island, and Ensenada was a very good value for the money; I wouldn't say that it was great, but it was a very enjoyable cruise overall. The food was very good and had a lot of variety. Although they don't serve ...

Pros: spending time with family
Cons: toilets, sinks,poor food quality,poor customer service

I have been on this ship 5 times now. This 3 day cruise is appealing because of its location in L.A. In 2007 did it 2 x ,once with parents and sister and kids/ was pretty good , no upgrades, service was ok, food was lacking in greatness I went ...

Pros: Great cruise for the price!
Cons: Its not a tropical cruise.

I like to start off with saying this is not the best cruise but if you live in California and you don't want to pay to fly to Florida or Texas then this is a great cruise for the price! It isn't as big or have those cool stops like the ships that go to ...

Pros: Drinks are cold, food is hot.
Cons: Customer Service is at Sprint or Home Depot level at the very best.

My last, and LAST cruise with RC was in January of 2007. It was a complete and total disaster. We were to leave FL and go to to Nassau then come back to Coco Cay. It was a short cruise and one that my, now wife, and I took when we were first dating. ...

Pros: Great service, fun atmosphere.
Cons: Food was okay.

I have sailed on the Monarch of the Seas twice. Both times were the 3-4 day jaunts to Ensenada, Mexico, San Diego, CA, and Catalina Island. The first was a 3 day with a stop only in Mexico. We went with friends and family for my husband's 30th ...

Pros: A great way to ring in the New Year!
Cons: You pay a premium for all New Years Voyages.

Monarch of the Seas 2008 New Years Eve Voyage Review December 31, 2007 – January 4, 2008 Our New Years Eve cruise aboard the Monarch of the Seas was great; I went with my husband and two other couples and would not hesitate recommending the ship or ...

Pros: Quality food in the formal dining room. Rock climbing wall.
Cons: Ignorant, dishonest, unfriendly staff. Small rooms with less than expected service. Full-price fair for infants.

I had very high expectations about this cruise having heard how wonderful cruise meals, services, and activities are. From the rude agent in the embarking area (which gave me questions before I even got to the ship)to the ignorant and unhelpful staff I ...

Pros: cost, service, food, general ambience and family atmosphere. jeremy the discover shopping guide.
Cons: room size.

if this is your first cruise as it was ours you will be delighted. our wait staff was the BEST. i am a believer in service and was not let down at all. i am a stickler for punctuality thought and must say nothing happens on time. the discover shopping ...

Pros: Great value; clean ship; excellent staff on board.
Cons: State rooms certainly small. On board photos are too expensive and not very good.

There are plenty of other reviews that really describe the atmosphere and layout of the ship. I just wanted to add a short review to say that for a relatively inexpensive cruise, we could not have asked for a better time. While I imagine that the larger ...
