This is by far and away the WORST cruise we have ever been on and we cruise a couple times each year. We purchased this cruise in June of 2023. This was prior to the Maui Fires. The cruise was to leave Vancouver and start the 6 day Pacific crossing, however due to the Maui fires the two days/nights we were to spend in Lahaina were off the itinerary. Instead Royal Caribbean made the decision ...

Hubby and I are loyal Royal Carribean (Platinum) and cruised Quantum 3 weeks ago (Oct 2023) and it was an awesome 9 days (5 at sea) never a boring moment. Embark in Vancouver was a strain as the Vancouver port staff did not recognize the "Key" priority; but the ship staff did reconcile. Overall, the food was average (not bad) but we are not foodies and not critics. We did tour the windjammer but ...

Our first time with RCI, we expected so much more - at least a quality near that of other cruise lines at this same cost level. The RCI goal seems to be cut corners at every opportunity (even literally cutting off the corners of cabin beds) & to charge extra for everything they can or to keep bugging you to buy all the "extras". The ship interior has all the flair of a social security office: ...

We are experienced cruisers, and LOVED this ship. We had read mixed reviews and decided to see for ourselves, and we were blown away. We had been on all of the Oasis class ships (with exception to Wonder), and in the end, this might be our favorte ship of all. Clean! One of the cleanest ships we have been on. The crew were fantastic! From our cabin steward, to dining staff, the rec ...

We are experienced cruisers, this is our 22nd voyage, 8th to Alaska, and 3rd on Royal Caribbean. We previously sailed on the Quantum of the Seas and the Spectrum of the Seas both out of Asia, and this was our first American RCL vacation. Embarkation: Without ...

First time with RC as we have only done Carnival in the past. Wanted to see Alaska! State room nice with balcony. Ketchikan was canceled due to weather. Saw icy straits and Juneau. The food was so mediocre. But that was not all.. the Windjammer dining area was a free for all. No organization.. absolutely chaotic every meal. This whole shop lacked directiom and processes and that energy was ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

My first time on a cruise. Booked in April, 2023. Two weeks before we are about to start our one-week land tour, RC had to cancel the 9-1 sail due to "propulsion issues". Then one week before we start our land tour, RC cancelled the 9-8 sail due to the same "propulsion issue". We fly out on 9-9 for the land tour, not knowing AT ALL if there is a 9-15 sail. I think we were notified on 9-13 or 9-14 ...

I wanted to revisit this ship. The Mid-May 2022 cruise had embarkation and technical difficulties, and Victoria B.C. hadn't approved the use of North Star yet. Those difficulties have been overcome. This time embarkation was a breeze, and everything about the ship seemed to be working well. This beautiful ship just sparkled, and the crew was very friendly and competent. There were ...
