A July 4th, 1984 cruise on Nordic Prince has been my only Royal Caribbean cruise experience. I remember it as being a very pleasant cruise. Food was very good, table mates were very nice people, one of whom I still keep in touch, and very small cabins. One could sit on one's bed and touch knees with the person sitting on their bed.

 

Memorable was our sailaway on July 4th from St. Thomas: the Captain, a Captain Peterson, I think, came on the PA and warned us--in case anyone had any--not to fire off any fireworks during the night. Fireworks at sea, he said, is a sign of a vessel in distress.

 

The only negative that I recall is from the night the comment cards were received. Our dining room waiter begged for an excellent rating. After all these years, I still remember this: his begging was so unnecessary. The service that he and the assistant waiter had given had been excellent--and we so indicated that on the comment card. But, his begging left a slightly sour taste towards my Royal Caribbean experience.

We were also on this cruise for our honeymoon. By any chance do you still have the passenger list? If you can believe this is we are trying to get credit for this cruise that will move us to the next tier in their rewards program. Thanks. DOUG S

We were also on this cruise for our honeymoon. I believe it left on July 1st for 10 days. By any chance do you have the passenger list? For whatever reason Royal Caribbean doesn't have records that far back and didn't get us credit for the cruise, but if I had some proof they will give us the credit. Thanks in advance.

I remember taking the Stardancer though the Panama Canal with our car in the 80's. We had the option of a free flight back from Miami to LA or to transport our car on the ship for free. We loaded our car in LA and drove off in Miami and spent a week and half driving back to West Coast. My wife and I were in our late 20's and closed the Disco ever night with the crew since everyone was so much older. We still talk about the wonderful vacation and service we had on the Stardancer.
