Nessa1964 Posted February 2, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I have just finished reading all the horrible experiences people have had on board the Voyager after the makeover. I went on a 3 day sampler last year and loved it. This time I paid for a premium drink package and thinking about canceling it because of all the bad reviews about waiting to be served, understaffed bars, and the staff not caring, and not wanting to serve you as you have a package deal. Can anyone let me know how to get around this problem and who I could talk too. Thank you Vanessa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodycruising Posted February 2, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 2, 2015 When you are looking at the reviews, even though some of them say they are experienced cruisers, they have just joined and they have no posts. Have a good look at some of the over the top comments. Kids hated the kids club as they were locked in? Seriously, any cruise we go on the more likely thing is that parents are a bit offended as the kids keep wanting to go back to the kids club. They "had to entertain their kids". Wow, most parents want to spend time with the kids. Many more of the comments were just so over the top that they were laughable on several of those reviews. I don't know who is paying them to start up these characters, but they are doing a terrible job. Negative reviews really should be a bit more realistic. Did you hear that sort of feedback on your last trip? Why would the trip coming up not be as fantastic as your last one? Go and enjoy it, and come back and let us know if any of those weird reviews really made any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted February 2, 2015 #3 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I am looking forward to cruising with you. Disregard the reviews and do not sweat the small stuff but enjoy. if there are any major issues on board, get them fixed straight away.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Vanessa If you want to cancel it, you can contact whoever you booked it through i.e. the TA if you booked through them, or RCL direct if you booked directly.

Poor Vanessa is looking for positives about the cruise and then you go and tell her that you are going on it:D:D:D Vanessa, Just ignore the negative comments and form your own opinion, that is really the only one that counts for you. I always figure a" not so good" cruise is still better than no cruise at all. (even if Mic is on board):cool: Also remember there are over 3500 people on the Voyager and only maybe a dozen of them complained.

Bitter Bulldog Posted February 3, 2015 #16 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I was just on the jan 22-25th sampler & had a great time! I had also done a sampler on her 1 year previous. I didn't notice much difference in crowds to be honest. I do seem to have a good flow on ships though. with 2 young girls, we generally do breakfast @ about 8-8:30 & crowds aren't a problem then. & early dinner @ 6, so after dinner the bars are pretty easy to get a drink. We did Izumi for dinner & it was awesome. Just sitting & watching the Flowrider was a lot of fun too! There's always loads of places on the ship where there's nobody if you need some peace & quiet too. Like just under the flower rider, after Johnny Rockets there's loads of table & chairs. & Star lounge when there's nothing is so empty but usually a bar tender there! We enjoyed it so much we booked another in the ship. Explorer 13 nighter! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megsie Posted February 3, 2015 #18 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Welcome to Cruise critic.:D Can you tell me if they had a formal night on the sampler? Also DH interested in the above. GD would like to know if there was a parade and also the ice show on the 3 nighter. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitter Bulldog Posted February 3, 2015 #19 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yes Formal night on the 2nd night. Fairly casual though. Dreamworks parade is on the first night. It was at 11pm on ours? Seems crazy to me as it's the kids that would enjoy it most. We didn't go but went to the Dresmworks breakfast the next morning. In lvl 4 of MDR. That cost $10 per adult. Kids free. The Dreamworks character are also out & about through the sampler. Plenty of photo ops. They are normally in the promenade of an evening for pics.

Bitter Bulldog Posted February 3, 2015 #20 Share Posted February 3, 2015 At least a couple of ice shows. There might be 2 a day? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitter Bulldog Posted February 3, 2015 #21 Share Posted February 3, 2015 We went to the Motown show in the theatre, which was great. Also Pennguins of madagascar 3D movie was good. They had other movies also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megsie Posted February 3, 2015 #22 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks for that Bitter Bulldog, great information. GD will be pleased about the ice shows. Bit late for kids to see the parade, although one of our rooms is a promenade inside - maybe GD can watch from there if awake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
