SAMBA GRILL ROYAL CARIBBEAN MENU PROFESSIONAL

There was a small gastro outbreak during the cruise so they went into lock down mode, understandably, but everything still ran smoothly. The food was amazing, there were plenty of activities you could either participate in or not, and the staff were friendly and very helpful.

All in one price instead?Īdmittedly this was our first cruise, so we were kind of awe-struck by everything and had nothing to compare it to, but we settled down after a couple of days and saw it for what it was. Pros: Food, friendliness of staff, activities, oportunity to relax.Ĭons: Small cover charge+pay for meals at two restaurants. Couldn't fault anything., November 14, 2011 If you wish further info and photos on TRAVELPOD, see link on:Įverything about the cruise was fantastic.

Spoke to several other passengers on bus for the transfer to Sydney Airport who had similar concerns and some stated that we would not cruise again with Royal Caribbean.įor my viewpoint as a hospitality professional and having worked on a cruise ship, there were no standards, no discipline on board especially for safety at sea during our drill, none of the senior officers could be seen during the busy periods, service was not provided, items on menus and wine list were missing or out of stock such champagnes and wines, security was extremely poor, rowdy drunk teenagers and adults on board. We couldn't wait to get off the ship on Sunday to get our flight back home. The experience that we had was very disappointing due the fact our concerns were not addressed straight away and the guest relations manager Shawn Jones just paid lip service to us and ignored us, the Hotel Director Alistair Burnett would not see us either and front office manager Tracey ditto. The ship Radiance of the seas is need of a good refurbishment, the only thing new in our stateroom was the flat screen TV. We had problems with our stateroom when we first came on board, the cleanliness and maintenance was poor, the toilets were not working for three days in a row but the problem was attended promptly, fecal smells were permeating throughout most of decks. But the least inspiring experience was the Samba Grill where the food was mediocre. The filet mignon medium came well done, and the rare filet mignon came medium. They were unable to cook our steaks properly.

Chops Grille which they call the finest steak on the high sea in the brochure was mediocre. Giovanni's the Italian restaurant was second best, the food was good for Italian food on a ship. Izumi was the outstanding one with Japanese fusion inspired. Specialty restaurants for which we paid extra fees for three persons were somewhat better. If you order cooked breakfast it was served hot, but otherwise of the same quality. Caf buffet food for breakfast and lunch was extremely of poor quality, burnt toast sitting under heat lamp hard as a rock, scrambled eggs pre-mixed from a large tetra pack, buffet breakfast soft boiled eggs overcooked and cold, the hot buffet most food items were not hot.ĭrink station in the Windjammer served juice concentrate (terrible), percolated coffee is barely drinkable, tea bags are of poor quality (Jane had to use several to get any flavor for a tea).īreakfast when open in Cascades, renamed Brasserie 30, was good at times. Royal Caribbean Radiance of the Seas is not worth the monies that we spent: ancillary costs, onboard drinks and freshly squeezed juices costing US$12. If we had gone to Hayman island Resort in the Whitsundays for a week for the monies spent we would have had great holiday. Royal Faulty Towers on the High Sea, December 31, 2013Ĭons: Lack of care in addressing customers issues, Stateroom in poor conditionįaulty Towers on the high seas: The conclusion was that we were wanting a family vacation for Christmas but got a poor and mediocre one as well very expensive.
