Royal Caribbean Monarch of the Seas

Pros: Great service, activities
Cons: Poor entertainment

My wife and I had been on two other Royal Caribbean ships, and we chose the Monarch for our third cruise based on the itinerary. We were not disappointed, despite the fact that the Monarch is one of RCCL's older and smaller ships.

The one...

Pros: Great Service and Destinations
Cons: Expensive

Last year, my parents had the opportunity to go on a trip over spring break (Easter). They took that chance and never regretted it again. They attended a Carnival cruise line ship and absolutely love. After this cruise, they told themselves that they...

Pros: Great excursions, food, service, and cruise
Cons: Smallish Staterooms

The Monarch of the Seas was first built in 1991. This makes the ship one of the "older" ones in the Royal Caribbean fleet of mega cruise ships like the Voyager of the Seas. Despite this unfortunate tag, the ship holds well over 2,500 passengers and is...

Pros: high quality good price
Cons: not long enough!

We took the cruise in March 96. It was the best vacation of my life! we were in our mid-20's, and enjoyed the age ranges on the ship. Even though it was spring break season, this is not a spring break type of cruise, so no wild crowds of drunken...

Pros: Good Value, Great Service, Excellent Food, Fun Activities
Cons: Small Cabin, Elevators

Our vacation started on Labor Day, 5 nights at sea on this big ship. We left from Ft. Lauderdale, FL and our ports of call were Key West, FL, Cozumel & Costa Maya, Mexico. If you have never cruised before my guess is you have a lot of questions about...

Pros: Great food, visiting different islands, and all out fun
Cons: Why did I have to come back home?

This cruise was FANTASTIC and I didn't want even to leave when my vacation came to an end. First of all, everyday since we had left San Juan, Puerto Rico the ship had stopped to make a visit to some of the most beautiful Caribbean Islands. For a couple...

Pros: Beautiful Ports, Incredible Food, Fun Excursions
Cons: A little pricey for those on a budget.

My Caribbean cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Monarch of the Sea was unforgettable. I can honestly say it was the best vacation that I have ever had. Our Ports of Call are as follows in the order that we visited the islands: St. Thomas/St. John, Martinique,...

Pros: great dollar value, excellent service, royal treatment, lot's of fun!!
Cons: Not completely all inclusive, island stops are short.

Pros: Good Value, Good Food, Lots of Fun..
Cons: Small Cabins, Not Enough Time in Ports, Elevators

Overall, my experience with RCI Monarch of the Seas was spectacular. I hated to disembark at the end of the trip.

Check in and embarkation were very painless. I do advise getting there earlier than your cruise documents state, as you may be...

Pros: the food,atmosphere, and service
Cons: that i couldn't stay longer

The Royal Caribbean Monarch of the seas cruise was the greatest vacation of my life. Me and my family left on a rainy day and i was concerned that the cruise would not be as exciting. I was proved wrong the minute i got on the boat. I was never on a...

Pros: A good time can be had by all!
Cons: Too much to do if that's a problem!

First of all let me put in a disclaimer, I live in St. Thomas, so why would I want to go on a cruise? A high school class reunion! My on island classmates were tired of doing all the work for the past two we had so we said let the cruise line do the...

Pros: Amazing Food, Comfortable Bed, Friendly Staff, Debarkation
Cons: Embarkation, Old Trolley Tour, La Bufadora Tour

We had an amazing time on this cruise! It definitely surpassed all of our expectations!! I had cruised before on Carnival and it was good, but this was so much better!! I can't believe people would complain about this cruise! Everyone was so nice, the ...

Pros: good sights, very nice staff
Cons: expensive

I went on a cruise on the Monarch of The Seas a couple of years ago and I had the time of my life. First, the ship stopped at Labadee, Haitee. This is a private island owned by Royal Carribean. Next, we stopped by San Juan, Puerto Rico. This...

Pros: Great Food, Great Service, Relaxing, Experience of a life time.
Cons: none

When I was 12, my parents took me on the trip that I would compare all other trips to. At first, I was not excited at all. I was only in eight grade and thought I would be stuck on a ship with a bunch of 80 year olds. That was no the case. In...

Pros: Excelent Boat
Cons: Not alot of night life

This was our first cruise with Royal Carribbean! Our last 2 cruises were with Carnival : Fascination,Inspiration.

This is a smaller boat but a beautiful boat. You cant beat the ombiance. The food is good and the atmosphere casual during the...
