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 choose this line because it goes through the Tracy Arm Fjords. I have to say after 36 cruises this is the most disappointing - the boat was dated and our room was not clean. We had to complain to the front desk and get them to clean again and still they missed cleaning the drawers and mirrors. The food was horrible in the dining room and buffet and only one of the specialty restaurants was ...
**Rating: ★ ☆ ☆☆ (1/5)**
My recent journey on Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas left me with a mix of emotions, primarily disappointment and frustration. Despite the promise of a luxurious cruise vacation, a series of unfavorable experiences overshadowed the few bright spots.
**Room Internet:** One of the most glaring issues was the room internet, which was virtually unusable. In today's ...
Ive been on 12 cruises and This was the worst cruise I've ever been.
1. They ask you to leave the table after you eat at the buffet.
2. No food avaliable after you get back from excursions, only pizza and mini sandwiches.
3. All movies are $12.00 on TV and only 5-10 choices. No TV channels but news.
4. No swimming areas for babies or toddlers.
5. Very little sitting and they close ...
The first problem we had started before we got on the ship. Come to find out, if you don't choose your balcony, but let them do it, you will probably get a view of a lifeboat. That was not mentioned in the booking process. NEXT up, they deleted Skagway from the itinerary long long before we signed up, but when we booked it was still listed - when they already knew that was not going to be ...
This was a bucket list cruise for us. We went with a group of 17 family members.
1st- the ship itself was beautiful, clean, & easy to navigate.
2nd- 3-6 months out from the sail date, most excursions were completely book.
3rd- the staff for the most part was nice, however most were new to working on cruise ships and had a very difficult time being able to understand what we were ...
We booked our cruise later than most, in march 2023. We paid for the insurance. We booked a cruise to that included skagway as that is a bucket list destination. In May, the cruise changed our port due to landslides that happened a year prior. They waited to change the destination to lock people into the cruise. Even with our insurance, we would have had to forfeit 75% of the paid cost to ...
So we started in Seattle. Boarding super easy. Fast forward.
June 5-12th Alaska Cruise
I want to start off by saying I am not new to cruising. I have traveled the world, and been on numerous cruises including Royal Caribbean. This was the worst cruise I have ever been on.
I will start out with the positive.
The staff was amazing!. My housekeeper was sweet, respectful and did a ...
As a former Cruise Directress on board the QE2, I've had many years of working and sailing aboard various ships. Also, career with Marriott Hotels & Resorts, JW and Ritz Carlton so lots of experience working with chefs & kitchens. Previously, sailed on the Freedom of the Seas in 2013 and 2015.. Also on the Allure in 2017. Didn't expect a lot from RC but was pleasantly surprised at their quality of ...
I booked this trip 17 months in advance for a surprise from my husband and I for our 10th anniversary and my 60th birthday and his 65th my bucket list trip to Alaska by cruise my 15th cruise. Overall, we left Seattle. Everything was beautiful. Had a beautiful day at sea, went to the icy straits was a beautiful location, which I wasn’t even aware of, we did not go to Skagway, which I was planning ...
