Royal Caribbean Vancouver Cruise Reviews

We had signed up for "anytime dining", not realizing that this meant we had to re-confirm our reservation each day. We were given a hard time when we asked to be at the same time each day, but eventually the maitre d' complied. Head waiter's English was so bad, none of us could understand him. Formal night wasn't formal at all, with some men in short sleeved plaid shirts and other very casual ...

After sailing with Royal Caribbean on several occasions (member of Crown & Anchor) my husband and I were very disappointed with many different items with this particular cruise. First off, we booked a balcony suite #9606. When we arrived of course we went directly to the balcony and I was surprised to find rust dripping off the pipes overhead. Not a very good first impression. Secondly, the ...

I don't like to leave poor reviews, but here goes and hopefully this will help out someone trying to decide on a cruise line in the future. My husband and I have always sailed Carnival and after many times of hearing from other cruisers that Royal Caribbean is so much better we decided to give it a try on our trip to Alaska. We did a northbound inside passage cruise package leaving from Vancouver ...

We just completed our 7 night cruise aboard the Radiance of the Seas and while it was fresh, writing a quick review. I'm a rookie "cruiser" with this being my second cruise ever. We went with our family and enjoyed two balcony staterooms. For two people, found it plenty of room with a comfy bed and storage areas. I was surprised with the lack of basic amenities (lotion, conditioner, etc) - even ...

I will start by saying this was my first cruising experience, so I cannot compare this other cruises. Our cruise departed from Vancouver at Ballantyne port. We were to board between 11am and 3pm. We arrived at the port at 2pm and assumed about a 45minute wait which we were told by previous cruisers was normal...we were completely wrong! All in all it took 3 hours and 1o minutes from the time we ...

This was our third cruise on Royal Caribbean and we’re sad to say that we were disappointed in the Rhapsody.StateroomA few days before we were set to leave the Upgrade Fairy paid a visit and we were moved from a D1 balcony on deck 7 to junior suite 8010, which is an accessible room. This was our first time in a suite (if you really want to count a JS as a suite) and the room was huge compared to ...

We sailed with Radiance of the Seas' May 4th Alaskan round-trip cruise from Vancouver. The staff and their services were exceptional. We only have compliments for the staff as they all looked after us very well. The ship itself was nice but not "wow". I read that they underwent a makeover last spring but I did not see anything that stood out in the public areas that had a wow factor. Our ...

This is our sixth cruise on Royal Caribbean. We are Diamond Members and really love the Royal Caribbean brand. However, this last cruise was a bit disappointing. Embarkation was smooth and easy. Vancouver is a beautiful city and we enjoyed staying there very much. The port in Vancouver is very well organized and we had no problems checking in and getting on the ship in a timely ...

Our vacation cruise on Royal Caribbean began on July 22, 2011 and continued on shore with a 7 day add on package. Radiance of the Seas has been totally rehab'ed, so everything looked new and beautiful.Our Junior Suite with balcony was definitely the way to go. The accommodations and activities, though are not without fault. The in-room coffee pot was a disaster--very messy. Royal Caribbean's wine ...

My wife, my parents and I took a much needed holiday to Alaska, spending a couple of nights pre-cruise at the Delta Suites Vancouver. The hotel was nice and my first experience with Priceline. I'll do that again. On Saturday we made our way to the pier, and had a decent embarkation. Once on board, we found the Windjammer and had a little lunch. It was better than most we've had on Royal, and ...
