Royal Caribbean Seattle Cruise Reviews

The noise level on the ship was outrageous. Every place you go on the ship there's horrible music blasting everywhere. Even in the Windjammer restaurant they had some lady singing (actually blasting) Lady GaGa - it was so bad that my husband and I left in the middle of our meal. There isn't a single area on this ship where you can just sit, relax and read a book. We had to stay in our room ...

The food is terrible. Not only that, but they constantly ask you how the food is. If you say anything other than good, the Food Mafia (or so if felt) shows up to interrogate you. Seriously, we were chased down the hall for more information about what exactly was wrong with completely flavorless mashed potatoes. They’ll offer to give you a different meal, but that will be horrible too. For example, ...

This was our 2nd cruise. Our 1st one was a Disney cruise, that put this cruise to shame. The beds were hard the maid picked up anything and everything that was on the floor onto the kids bed/couch. Not very good cleaning service. Plus my bling belt went missing and I know it was in my room because I didn’t change my clothes anywhere else aside from my room. When I went to report it they had ...

We figured this would be a really nice ship, we were so wrong! the jr suite we stayed in was right below the windjammer and so all hours of the night we could hear them cleaning. The beds are so hard we may as well be sleeping on the floor. They will even roll housekeeping carts down the halls at like 2am. There were hardly any activities and most of the shows were boring. We saw only one good ...

Chose this cruise to use up our credits from a previously cancelled cruise due to COVID. Chose Alaska since it wouldn't require us to fly to the port. As we were boarding, we were given an updated itinerary that stated we wouldn't be cruising the glacier due to "lack of sunlight". Royal should be able to figure out if they can offer a cruise or not due to lack of sunlight! It felt like a ...

This was our 31st cruise but our 1st to Alaska and 2nd with RCCL. We have sailed with all the major brands. We chose this cruise just for the Alaska experience and it didnt disappoint. The ship itself was beautiful. Plenty to do, nice venues and the staff was very pleasant. Food, not so much. Buffet food was industry standard but MDR food was not good at all. Over cooked, bland and sometimes just ...

I had been on Princess, Carnival, and Norwegian before my first Royal trip. All I've ever heard was jokes about the class of passengers on the other lines, the quality of the ships, and a general snobbiness that RCI just doesn't live up to. Boarding in Seattle is like watching sheep get pushed through a narrow chute to go to slaughter. No organization whatsoever. No help from the terminal ...

First, a couple of complaints, then some observations, and I'll save the compliments and wrap up until last. We booked this Alaska cruise and obtained a two story "sky view" suite with the express purpose of viewing the glaciers from the ship as advertised and as scheduled on the venue by RCI. We were notified the night before that the ship would make the glacier approach at approximately 6AM ...

This was my first cruise with RCL, but my 10th overall. I will make a concerted effort to go in timeline order here, and to also point out good things. First, the port of Seattle was probably the easiest port I have ever embarked from, we practically walked onto the boat from our drop point, so well done here! I booked our family of three a junior suite with an extra large balcony for our ...

My expectations vs the reality of this cruise were definitely not in line with what I expected. Long story short, this was my families 6th cruise and the first time we have cruised with Royal Caribbean (RC). The on board activities were seriously lacking. I understand it was an Alaskan cruise and so swimming might not have been an option, but maybe RC should have also thought this. The activities ...
