Royal Caribbean Monarch of the Seas

Pros: Great service, activities

Pros: Large enough to not seem crowded, even on a full cruise.
Cons: Cabins are small, but adequate!

We recently went on the Monarch from 12/20-12/24 2001. Our cruise experience was no less than awesome. We had a category F stateroom on the promenade deck, and although small was more than adequate. There was no refrigerator or safe in the room, but the...

Pros: spending time with family

I have been on this ship 5 times now. This 3 day cruise is appealing because of its location in L.A. In 2007 did it 2 x ,once with parents and sister and kids/ was pretty good , no upgrades, service was ok, food was lacking in greatness I went ...

Pros: Main dinner was great- good service
Cons: Poor buffet, low budget shows, smelly ship

A last minute decision for my husband and I. We decided a week before our cruise to join our 4 friends on what we thought would be a blast. Not the case. The ship that was clearly outdated (built in 1991,) was overcrowded and smelled of urine. That's...

Pros: Quality service, onboard activities, food, baggage organization, daily itineraries.

Royal Caribbean's Monarch Of The Seas provided my new wife and I with the perfect honeymoon. We sailed 8/26/01-09/02/01. The bliss began at the San Juan Airport. We never saw our baggage until it appeared outside our stateroom at 3:00pm Sun. afternoon....

If you are looking for a truly SPECTACULAR vacation - consider Royal Caribbean, but specifically Monarch of the Seas. From the moment we stepped on the ship to the end of our 7 days, we were treated like royalty!! The ship is a vacation in and of...
