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 ...
Great itinerary from Sydney to Honolulu. Headliners entertainment was very good. As for spectrum cabaret was just a waste of time..
As for the dining room tables are pushed close together we spent most of our time eating in the Windjammer for breakfast and lunch. If you’re lucky enough to have eat at the coastal kitchen, the food was outstanding. Pool area was crowded. There is a rule posted ...
This was by far the largest ship we had ever been on, and the longest cruise, so we were a little apprehensive.
By and large the ship handled the number of people well - it was only the first day when everyone was out and about exploring that we felt a little jostled by the crowds. The other time was getting off and on at port stops. There were lines to get off, even as an independent ...
Longer cruise than the usual 7-14 days, expected more bang for your buck as we are diamond plus but this voyage fell well short of the mark.
We ate mostly in wind jammers as the main dining food was not up to standard, so menu repeated for the entire cruise and not a lot of anything decent to choose from. ( you could go to wind jammers and get the same food) without having to wait for slow ...
We booked this cruise because we needed a relaxing getaway. We had a great time apart from a couple of minor irritations.
This was our third cruise with RCI, and we had even travelled on Quantum of the Seas back in 2018 (see my review of that cruise here: https://www.cruisecritic.com.au/memberreviews/memberreview.cfm?EntryID=606582) Fortunately for us this was a very different ...
We sailed from Brisbane to Alaska on the Quantum of the Seas. The staff as always were efficient, hard working and kind. The food, however was disappointing and certainly inferior to pre covid days. Poor quality cuts of meat were used, any chicken dish in the Windjammer was inedible as the chicken pieces were just grizzle and chewy, as were the stews, having fatty grizzled meat in them. The ...
We (7 adults, 5 kids) have just completed an 8 day cruise around the South Pacific out of Brisbane. One of our 3 ports, Port Vila, was cancelled due to the recent storms, meaning we had just two stops - Mystery Island and Noumea. Mystery Island is a beautiful stop, crystal clear water and nice little beaches. Noumea not so great, especially when all the beaches were closed for swimming due to ...
Chose this cruise as needed to use a FCC and decided an Islands Trip would be great. Never happened though as due to a cyclone we got diverted to Tasmania and one day in Sydney. The ship embarkation process at Brisbane International Terminal was seamless. Couldn't be better they were professional and knew what they were doing. Bags dropped off all forms in my hand and off we went. Once onboard ...
