Editorial Summary

The creators provide a comprehensive rating of Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Seas using a five-category system: entertainment, food and beverage, maintenance and cleanliness, ship layout and amenities, and value for money. They evaluate the 25-year-old vessel based on a recent five-day cruise from Galveston, Texas. The reviewers note that while the ship features impressive entertainment like the Ice Odyssey show, it suffers from a lack of dining variety and dated decor. Maintenance is described as generally good but showing signs of age, and the ship layout is criticized for feeling hodgepodge due to previous remodeling efforts. While the junior suite offered comfort, the creators encountered inconsistent hot water and noted that the balconies are encased in metal. Ultimately, the ship receives an overall rating of 2.7 out of 5. The creators conclude that while the ship was once revolutionary, it currently lacks the modern amenities and seamless flow found on newer or better-maintained ships in the fleet. They suggest that travelers should consider Voyager if the itinerary or price is ideal, but recommend looking at Mariner or Navigator of the Seas for a superior experience.
