JK41 Posted January 8, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2011 :confused: My family is taking our first cruise in December. The RCI Western Caribbean 7 nighter on the Voyager of the Seas caught my eye. Is this a good ship to get our feet wet(as it were)? It departs from New Orleans. I would really appreciate some thoughts on this.

firefly333 Posted January 8, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Its going out of Galveston right now during the winter. I thought the ship was WOW, beautiful. Ice show, rock climbing wall, large pools that are gorgeous. I think it would be a great ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewopaho Posted January 8, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 8, 2011 The Voyager is being moved to New Orleans from Galveston, TX this year, after completing its European schedule, re-establishing RCI's presence there following Hurricane Katrina ... 6 years later. It's a wonderful vessel (we're sailing on it next week), the first of Royal Caribbean's mega-ships, launched in 1999. Recent reviews indicate that it's in excellent condition. I'm certain you'll enjoy your experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak Hill Cruisers Posted January 8, 2011 #7 Share Posted January 8, 2011 No, you must first sail on the smaller ships in order to earn the creds to sail on the VOS --- just kidding. It's a great ship. We just finished the west-bound TA on the VOS from Barcelona to Galveston. We have also sailed on her sister ship, the Mariner of the Seas and will again do a B2B on the MOS his fall. The ship is big but you never feel crowded, even in the grand promenade. Enjoy!

I would really appreciate some thoughts on this. Good, Bad, or other OK, I'll be the downer here. We just got back from a cruise on VOS and I felt she was showing her age. She seemed a little shabby around the edges. The crew was wonderful as always, however. I like the food better on Carnival and Princess. RC's food seems a bit institutionalized. We are Diamond on RC, but I will think twice before doing another cruise with them, perks notwithstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
