Royal Olympic Cruises

MS Olympic Voyager

Your Rating:Three Stars
Reviewed by: Bill Swanson
# previous cruises: 4
Date of Trip: September 2, 2000
Itinerary: Mediterranean

Overview
Ship is tastefully decorated, and easy to navigate. public areas were nice, although not as nice as some other ships of this size. Ships staff was very nice and there was no noticeable attitude from any one we encountered who worked for this ship. This is the fastest cruise ship in the world, and it does move, rocking, etc. when cruising at speed.

Public Areas
The dining room was by far, the nicest area of the ship. There are a number of 2 top tables with view. main lounge was also nice with nice view to the stage. Pool was very small, and deck space is somewhat limited. There is no wrap around promenade, and all of the forward topside decks are off limits when the ship is underway(due to high winds from the fast cruising speed)

Food and Service
Food service was just O.K. The portions were very small. The variety was O.K. The midnight buffet was extremely poor, just leftovers from dinner and lunch, served from a steamtable. No elaborate displays or Ice sculptures here. We were very disappointed. Fortunately for us, our waiter Spyro, never blinked when we both ordered double appetizers and entrees from the second night out. It was the only way to leave the table feeling full. Room service was very prompt, hover they did bring us food with out any eating utensils, twice. They also had a habit of running out of things like, soup, salad dressing.

Cabins
Our cabin was very nice. It is the first time we have cruised with out a balcony, and we were wondering how we would like it. It was small, but tastefully decorated and very efficient. It had plenty of closet space,great lighting, a large window, and a clean, well lit bathroom. The shower was a nice size with good water pressure. The large artwork in our cabin was framed with real glass. The sip does rock and move about noticeably. During some movement of the ship, I lost my balance and fell into the picture, shattering the glass piece into the bed, and cutting my self in three places. The cabin steward just made the bed again the next night with broken glass pieces in it. I could nt believe she did that. Maybe she just didnt like us

Entertainment
O.K.

Activities
The shore excursions were the highlight of the trip for me. We went to the giza pyramids, wailing wall, church of the holy sepulcher, blue mosque, grand bazaar, and more. The guides were informative and knowledgeable. The motorcaoches were top notch. Royal olympic surely has this part right.

Who Goes
Variety of americans and europeans with a wide range of ages from small kids to older adults. Probably 1/2 american.
