This was our careful return to cruising after a 3-year pandemic hiatus. While both fully vaccinated, we were determined to exercise prudence and avoid crowds. We used Westjet credits from cancelled flights and traveled from Toronto to Vancouver, with pre-cruise stay at the Exchange hotel, 3 blocks from the terminal. We were very satisfied with this property. Dinner was at the Cactus Club Café ...
We chose this cruise due to the departure port (Vancouver) for a quick getaway. Vancouver to LA (stops in Astoria, Santa Barbara, San Diego).
Weather in Vancouver was perfect for sail-away, and it's always great fun to leave under the Lion's Gate Bridge. The seas were like glass the entire cruise.
The ship seemed in great shape, and the crew was by far the friendliest of any large cruise ...
This was our second cruise with Royal Caribbean. We chose Explorer of the Seas because of the pacific coast itenerary. It was just my husband and myself. Our previous cruise had been on the Oasis of the Seas so the Explorer was much smaller compared to the Oasis. We had priority boarding so check in was a breeze. We had an inside room. It was small but adequate. I was apprehensive about an ...
The wife and I booked this cruise about a year out, long before our son moved up to Tacoma with his girlfriend for a great career last March. Once we told them about our cruise plans her parents and the kids joined us. Embarkation was very easy arriving around 10:30am we were on board by eleven. We toured the ship a bit then down to check on our "first night done right" booking. We had been ...
We picked this cruise because it left from Seattle, we liked the itinerary and the price was good. We had not been on a Royal Caribbean cruise for many years because we are Princess elite people. But this was very pleasant. My husband has eating problems but the dining room staff were very helpful. We enjoyed the Windjammer Buffet. The selections were excellent. The Ice Skating Revue was ...
The NW itinerary is very relaxing and has lots to see and do. The weather can be unpredictable. This is the second year we’ve done this cruise.
The crew on EoS were outstanding. They did everything thing they could to make the event special and enjoyable. The ship has some great venues for a wide variety of activities.
We tried the promenade view room. It was fun but would probably not ...
we had been dreaming of a cruise for a very long time, we are both disabled and on a fixed income and almost seniors, the ad came in an email, what seemed like a good deal, we were booking an inside cabin when a balcony became available for the same price so we jumped on it, the first cruise experience was great and we met some amazing people, and the crew and staff were amazing and very graciouse ...
We chose this cruise mainly for the itinerary and secondly for the Friday to Friday sailing. We have never been to any of the ports of call and they didn't disappoint! We rented a car in Oregon and drove down the coast a bit and back. San Francisco we did the Ship tour- HoHo bus with the harbor cruise. Then in Victoria we did the ship tour to Buchart Gardens with the picnic. This was my ...
I always cruise with Royal Caribbean, and have many times. Among the obvious reasons, such as itinerary, food, and service, my main reason is the entertainment. I believe this is the only line that has a Pub on every ship. I have had the great fortune to be on several cruises where Robbie McNay has been the Pub Entertainer. Robbie is amazing in that he has been performing for what seems like ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary, but we were happy with so much more! Having come off of a very bad cruise experience with Celebrity, we were a bit hesitant to try Royal Caribbean (as we understand Celebrity is owned by them). That said - our experience with each cruise line was very different.
On this cruise, there was a wide variety of entertainment, the food was very good, ...
