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 ...

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 ...

We chose the ship because we had friends in Sitka and wanted to visit them and wanted to leave from Vancouver where we also looked forward to meeting old cruising friends. We were 4, Dad, son and two faughters, all Seniors but all Diamond on RCL. I was in a wheelchair for getting on and off and for longer on board ventures. We booked a 2 bedroom Grand Suite because it met our needs for separate ...

Booked Quantum for AK glacier cruise. Unfortunately didn’t read post about ship not being able to get near glacier. Sailed into Endocot arm and turned around before glacier. Ship is nice, RCI food quality has declined significantly since Feb menu changes. The production shows, Starwater, sonic odyssey are both very strange with no real plot. Northstar broken entire cruise. Icy strait point was ...

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 ...

Not a bad cruise, but definitely our least favorite ship

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 ...
