The food was terrible. We ate at Chops and had to send our steaks back 2 times and finally just told them to keep it. It was so tough you couldn't cut it. The meat served in the Tides was not good. There was too much time at sea and the excursions were way too long. We signed up for the beverage package for $55 per day per person and was charged $65 per day per person. We were also charged 4 ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

Was recommended to RCL by our travel agent, was looking for 'fun, active, family friendly' trip for our first cruise. My husband is 47, myself 45, daughter 26 and son 10. We booked an inside quad stateroom (I tend to suffer from motion sickness) and it was quite cozy. nothing luxurious, but bedding and pillows were comfortable. There was not a lot of unpacking room for 4, plus then there was ...

We sailed on Jewel of the Seas just this past week. We are Diamond RCCL members, (have sailed on 15+ cruises with RCCL) and DCL Platinum as well. Usually we love RCCL--we do usually go on the big boats. Oasis and Allure, but have sailed on the sister ship of the Jewel to Europe. Embarkation was no problem--sailed through quite quickly--although it was confusing with 2 ships from 2 different ...

I have cruised 13 times over various cruise lines. This is my second Royal Caribbean. This first time was pretty good with some issues but i thought we would try a different ship and destination. Maybe I would have a different experience with RCL. . . WRONG! Good Room was nice and roomy. Diner service and cleaning crew was excellent. Bad Food was terrible. Something that you would ...

After fifteen years of sailing exclusively on DCL, we finally decided to try a Royal Caribbean cruise to Alaska because of it leaving out of Seattle, and the Wonder leaves out of Vancouver. Basically, we knew it wouldn't be Disney, but after the first ten minutes on board we realized just how much it wasn't Disney. From the very vulgar cruise director, to the lack of decent shows, staterooms ...

We had cruised to Alaska 2 times. We were looking for a summer cruise and our choices were Bermuda or Alaska. We decided to do 3 days in Seattle and then take the Jewel on 7 night round trip. We mainly chose this cruise because it spent a full day in Victoria, and we had never been to that port. We are in our mid 60's and are Diamond level. Pre-Cruise: We stayed at the Mayflower Park ...

I have cruised about 3 times before off the east coast, but nothing compares to Alaska. I plan on going back for an more extended tour soon. The Jewell needs to change their carpeting because it looks like worn out carpet from an old Las Vegas casino. The theater seats are worn velour, but still comfy. The Windjammer food was good, what you would see in a Las Vegas buffet. It seemed that ...

At the outset of this review I will note that this was our 28th cruise and we do not limit our selves to any one line. It is the destination and/or activity we cruise for, in this case taking out two grand daughters to ride on the WHITE PASS & YUKON RAILROAD and the glaciers. Both of those goals were met and outstanding. It had been at least 10 years since we had cruised with RCI and we had ...

Even before we traveled, I was starting to have mixed feelings about Royal Caribbean. The first surprise came when I tried to book an excursion and the second was an extremely unfortunate situation with an event. RC’s approach to excursions I had found a tour company I wanted to use for a Whale Watching tour because of the type of Safari boats they use. I wanted to book the excursion ...

My husband and I planned this cruise a year in advance to spend quality time with our siblings. We wanted everything to be perfect. We booked 4 rooms on the 8th deck in the back of the ship for panoramic views on the Jewel of the Seas as soon as the ship started taking reservations. We booked Whale Watching Mendenhal Glacier and Salmon bake in Juneau, Alaska. We booked dog sledding in Skagway, ...
