Royal Caribbean Alaska Cruise Reviews

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 ...

A complete review of 7n Alaska on Brilliance of the Seas. We had 3 staterooms and 8 people total for a 7 N cruise from Vancouver. The trip itself was great, but the cruise experience was sub par. The Ship Let’s be honest: The last time this ship was refurbished was a decade ago. It’s clean(ish) but in desperate need of an overhaul. There are only 4 outlets in a stateroom and 2 of those ...

Travelled with family to Alaska on RC. This was our first time cruising. We had a balcony which was great for viewing the scenery & wildlife. We had a soft drinks package & bought a few cocktails & some wine, which worked well for us. Paid for gratuities in advance, so we did not need to worry about tipping at the end. Enjoyed the photographer on board & purchased a package. The food was ...

Wife and I celebrated our 32nd anniversary on this trip which was our first Alaska cruise and it was amazing! Enjoyed everything on the ship but agree that the food at the buffet does get bland after a couple visits. We did buy the 3 extra dinners package and ate at the steak place (delicious), Italian (ok) and Japanese spot and it was good. Nice change of place from the usual buffet. Nice the ...

We generally prefer good views of the ocean, a chair in the sun for some drinks by the pool and a few activities to enjoy while onboard. We didn't love the layout of this ship as everything felt alot more enclosed than other ships we've sailed on. Views were often restricted and the dining rooms felt small with their low ceilings and cramped seating vs the multi floor dining rooms on the other ...

Just got back from Alaska on the Quantum of the Seas, from June 26th to July 3rd. This is going to be an extensive review of the entire vacation, including the ship, meals, entertainment, and the ports. If you are looking to book a cruise on RCA Quantum, this will be your source of real information. We flew into Seattle two days before the cruise and stayed at the Hyatt Regency. Since we ...

I had a good trip on Brilliance of the Seas! I chose it because i had future cruise credits but also as i've been on an alaskan cruise before and wanted to go on different ports. This cruise went to hubbard, tracy arm and sitka which i haven't been too before. It was good we went to 2 glaciers as hubbard was foggy and rainy. However, tracy arm was great as we got into 1/2 a mile of it. I liked my ...

We were a party of 9. 2 seniors, DH and myself, both with mobility issues, from northeast Ohio. This was our 15th cruise, 3rd on Royal, 3rd to Alaska. One professional couple, mid-late 50's, from the DC area, Diamond on Royal, 4th time in Alaska. One family group, parents mid 40's, 3 kids ages 12, 10, and 8, from the Bay Area. This was the second cruise for our daughter, 2nd to Alaska, 1st ...

This ship was old & the rooms weren't very nice? - need some major upgrades! - the sink in our cabin was awful? - they offered to move us but the next cabin - the sink was not much better? - so we just stayed where we were! There were way too many kids - as I mentioned 600 on a ship of 2,500 passengers - but I guess that's because "Royal Caribbean" is more Family Oriented!? - I am "Elite" with ...
