My mom chose this cruise for me, and I had been on it before, so despite me trying to have little to no expectations I got more excited as it approached, and prepared and packed gleefully hoping it would be as good as before the pandemic. Leading up to the big embarkation day was a bit stressful with COVID tests and going into another country, not to mention packing smartly and everything ...
We had FCC to use so picked a fun and relaxing cruise and we were pleasantly surprised by the gorgeous weather and fabulous crew.. Vancouver and Victoria were so beautiful, and had great time in San Francisco. The crew was amazing. Everyone was so friendly and caring and it showed. Really made you feel appreciated and special. I think everyone was just so happy to be back to more regular cruising ...
Okay. Y'all had me really worried after I had booked and read your reviews. Like, I was even calling Royal Caribbean to ask about their cancellation policy. Turned out that we had an absolutely amazing time and agree that it was one of our best cruises yet.
We selected the 11am boarding time (first available) because we have a three year old daughter and didn't want to risk waiting in line for ...
This was a great cruise. Loved the shows, the food was great, they cleaned our cabin daily with fresh linens. The crew and staff were professional and friendly. Loved the spa but the only thing is I bought some products to take home and got to the airport and they made me take out the big bottles and pitch them cause they were too big and these products weren't cheap. I wasted my money. I feel ...
Hubs and I had originally planned to take this cruise in August 2020 to celebrate my MBA graduation, but obviously that did not happen! So here we are two years later, almost to the day, finally able to sail. We were excited!
I was a little worried based on the reviews I have been reading about poor service, poor quality food, problems with ports, you name it. Lots of complaining everywhere. I ...
We wanted to see as much of Alaska as possible and this was the perfect itenary. We saw almost All the big places except Glacier Bay as Royal does doesn’t travel there. We missed two years of cruising and received bonus FCC so we leveled up to the Royal suite. That suite is amazing, so amazing that we rarely left. We ate in our suite in front of the open sliding glass doors or on our huge deck ...
We sailed from Vancouver (what a great city).
Boarding was straight forward and efficient and went without a hitch (including a pre-cruise test for our daughter at a hotel immediately across the road).
Overall we loved the cruise. I had been slightly worried, given a lot of the recent reviews in this forum. I needn’t have. Service was excellent and the food is on a par to our previous ...
I just got off the Quantum a few days ago. Here are a few observations and my own personal perspective.
The ship is beautiful and the staff was awesome. Each and every crew member I interacted with was friendly and helpful.
Getting on board was easy and well managed. Getting off at the end of the cruise was also quick and easy. Be advised that if you intend to use Uber after the cruise ...
We spent 7 days on Ovations of the Sea on a round-trip cruise to Alaska from Seattle.
This was the first time on a cruise and the first time to Alaska for me and my 2 girls - such an amazing place to visit, with beautiful views, wildlife and lots of fun stories from locals :)
The ship has very many entertainment options and is definitely a great choice for families with kids. Climbing wall, ...
First, let me begin by stating that we had an amazing vacation that included gazing at glaciers, whales, eagles, and other fantastic sites in the Last Frontier.
I have written a very long and detailed review [https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2864103-a-journey-to-the-last-frontier-serenade-of-the-seas-alaskan-itinerary-review/page/10/], but to summarize:
