I chose this cruise because it was more aligned with my travel availability and I won't do a "party boat".
I've divided my critique into several categories based upon my experiences in other cruise lines as a comparison...
Boarding: We boarded in Seattle on a Monday...and yes, we had to make sure all our shot records were in the system and that we had tested negative for COVID within the ...
3rd cruise to Alaska, brought 2 Granddaughters. Rooms were Great. Ship was Beautiful with tons to do on Board. Main Dining food was very bad. Steaks were tough, grisly and way over cooked. Asked for medium rare twice and received well done. Then one waiter kept arguing that I had to have it cooked that way. Anytime Dining also. Complained to head waiter one night and received an I’m Sorry.

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 ...
This was the make up cruise from the canceled pandemic one. Loved the U.S. ports, however Victoria was a flop. All excursions got delayed because Canada wanted more paperwork than was originally prepared. That threw everyone's planned excursions into chaos. Not sure who to blame.
Also cruising out of port 91 Seattle is absolutely HORRIBLE. I have cruised from all Florida ports and have ...
I had been wanting to cruise on a Quantum class ship for years. After a couple of re-bookings due to covid we finally got on her. Quantum is a beautiful ship, very large but really well maintained. The crew was excellent and we had a fantastic cruise. I have very little to complain about. We royal-upped to a Junior Suite and loved every second of the limited but much appreciated amenities we got ...
My Husband and I have been fans of Royal Caribbean for some time (we are now Crown and Anchor diamond guests). When planning a family vacation for 13 people we chose an Alaska cruise out of Seattle on Quantum of the Seas because of our great past cruises. We booked 2, 2 bedroom grand suites and a regular grand suite. The cruise unfortunately did not live up to our expectations.
Our first ...
Embarkation was interesting, and not what we expected. We had 11am check in time. We had done our ArriveCan app and printed the barcode. We did rapid NAAT covid tests at Walgreens the day before flying and printed those results out as well. We got the Pier 91 around 10:20am. Dropping the luggage was easy and there were people there to help with this. We walked straight into the main building ...

Two years ago we found a good deal on an Alaskan cruise. Embarkation was fine. Main Dining Room Escargot not salty. Creme brûlée has custard consistency-great. Steak tasted like fish and was super thin. Windjammer food was okay.Jaime Oliver’s was great. Wonderland was a true fun experience. What turned everything into a dumpster fire was when one of the crew had a medical emergency and they had to ...
