To be honest, 14 days would have been plenty enough aboard this ship. Also, my first time sailing with RC, I can tell you beforehand I'm extremely satisfied and booked another RC cruise with a shorter duration,
Getting on in Honolulu was easy enough, they had me apply for NZ and AUS visa on my phone in the cruise terminal before boarding, they informed me that I would need to disembark without ...
This was our 5th Royal Caribbean cruise and first on Quantum. We chose ship due to North Star, bumper cars and itinerary etc BUT North Star was broken and inoperative entire cruise and out of the 4 stops we only stopped at 2 due to Cyclone Lola. Cyclone Lola was known to the “sailing/cruise experts” however we were not told until after boarding. North Star not working and bumper cars were open 3-4 ...
I chose this cruise for 2 reasons firstly I wanted to go to Hawaii and shop and cruise back to avoid excess luggage charges from all my purchases, and secondly I wanted the package deal that included the flights hotel stay pre cruise and for the right price of course, I found what I wanted with cruise away, can highly recommend them. Anyway our first 3 cruises were with RC, and only started ...
I have been cruising every year since 2010, as my mother and I share a birthday, we like to celebrate with a trip, making this my 12th cruise (took 2 yrs off for Covid) and other then the first 3 (which were with Carnival) I have been a die-hard Royal Caribbean loyalist. I tell EVERYONE that although more expensive, they have better food and more comfortable beds. However that all changed 2 weeks ...
Always wanted to visit Hawaii, but waited too long. Should have gone when we could have enjoyed a more active experience on land. The cruise was a compromise, as we love cruising, and we could at least have a short land visit on several islands. Really, really wish there had been more island time in the itinerary.
The cruise itself got off on a terrible foot, with the worst-run embarkation we ...
We had wanted to do a transpacific for many years and when Australia finally allowed us to leave the country again post covid, the first thing we did was book a cruise!
This was our first cruise on this class of ship and Quantum did not disappoint. Big and beautiful and spotlessly clean with so many venues where we could be in the thick of the action or find a quiet corner depending on our ...
The Transpacific cruise had been on our bucket list for a while and we booked it in 2019, then Covid hit and we kept pushing it forward until Australia opened up their borders.
The Ovation of the Seas is a lovely ship and the largest we have ever been on. Overall the sailing was good, although having 12 sea days (only 5 ports of call with one stay over) is a bit tough. We love cruising, but ...
A family of 3, including a 9 years old child, spent 11 days on board of Radiance of the Seas: 5 days with stops at various Hawaii islands, the rest at sea cruising back to the mainland (Vancouver). Original itinerary included 6 port-of-call days and 5 days at sea, but after collecting the full payment, RCI suddenly changed itinerary to 5 port days and 6 sea days. They offered no compensation ...
I was really surprised at how easy embarkation was, after having stood in long lines with other cruise lines, this was really easy if you had done the electronic "pre-check in". Great idea RCCL, keep it up.
The cruise itself was good, but as it was a relocation cruise, there were a lot of sea days. I have done such a cruise before (with a different cruise line), so I knew that it was very ...
We’ve done many transatlantic and transpacific cruises, most of which offered many activities and good entertainment for the many sea days. Unfortunately, this 18-day transpacific cruise was sorely lacking in both entertainment and enrichments opportunities, and was a boring experience overall. This was made all the worse by inclement weather that forced us to spend a lot of time indoors. And the ...
