Alaskan Inside Passage

OCTOBER

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Many activities, beautiful ship, friendly attentive staff

CONS

Huge ship. Lots of walking to cross back and forth to restaurants, bars, cabins etc.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Beautiful ship with a very friendly attentive staff and crew. It’s also very big so it took time and energy to cross to restaurants, activities, and cabins. No regular RC shopping was available. All the shops onboard were extremely high end. Cartier etc. Entertainment was either absolutely wonderful to just “so, so.” Sight lines were a problem at times in certain venues. We enjoyed eating in the dining room. Our waiters were wonderful. Overall though, it was a wonderful cruise.

Alaskan Cruise

OCTOBER

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

The staff is amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable, willing to help

CONS

The ship is huge, so there are a lot of people, about 4500. Long lines at elevators and Windjammer at all hours. Bars are always full, so seating with a larger group us a challenge.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Lots of fun games, but be there 15 minutes early. They keep a tight schedule. All the dance classes are full, everyone wants to participate, so be early to get a spot. The food is delicious, well prepared and attractive. Wait staff very accommodating to dietary needs. If not happy with meal, let them know and get something else, it's ok. The ship has so many different locations to relax or gather. Very clean and sanitized constantly. Try to attend as many shows as you can. The dancers and singers are top notch professionals. The Specialty Restaurants are quite an experience and unique in their own way, so be sure to try them. The shops have lovely jewelry, purses, and other nice items. No discount except on last sail day. The art auction is fun, even if you don't buy, very good artwork and lots of information on artists.

Altered Itinerary

AUGUST

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Big ship designed well to hold 4,600 passengers.

CONS

Loading and unloading 4,600 passengers.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

I recently sailed on this ship for a trip to Alaska. Because of engine problems, the itinerary was changed. Something out of my control, but disappointing anyway. We missed sailing into the glacier area, which was one of the draws of this trip. Also, pulling into Victoria, Canada at 1630 was a waste of a port. Couldn’t they have arrived at 7 or 8 like at most ports? Service was excellent as expected on Royal Caribbean. We never felt that is was carrying 4,600 passengers, so it was designed well. One nit pick though: why, when the average spent by each cruiser is close to $1,500, is the toilet paper so poor? C’mon RCL, spend a little on two ply.

Maxwell Cruise

APRIL

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Everything lived up to the "WOW" factor. I loved the dynamic dining most of all.

CONS

The reason they didn't get 5 stars: I and many others were terribly disappointed in the "Barbados Beach" shore excursion. The place looked like it should have been boarded up. They did not tell us about the seaweed until after the tickets were purchased. The seaweed was so bad you had to find a place to make a path to get to the water. If you weren't in the water the stench was so bad I would rather have paid more money to go to some place decent.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Overall it was our second best vacation ever, second only to Hawaii! Thanks for your help in the planning process. I told you when we met I was impressed and will gladly supply you with "word of mouth advertising". BTW: I didn't forget the "Martini". They had a Mix and Mingle with complimentary champagne. Being the good sport that I am, I drank one for you and one for me! Thanks, Lee

Good cruise overall

APRIL

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

The staff was wonderful and very helpful with any issues. We had a really good stateroom attendant. We ate at all the complementary restaurants and the service was excellent. It was nice trying out new resaurants but we would forget each night where we were eating and the times.

CONS

Trying to get reservations for dinners was a nightmare at times. We waited hours in line to book our dinners since the computer showed everything was booked. Not enough staff regarding booking new cruises. Normal wait time was 1 hour to see a staff member. Half the time the RC App would crash and did not match any of our reservations.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Overall we had a great time on the ship. We were aware that this is a brand new ship and they need to work out some of the kinks.

Perfect Cruise

APRIL

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Excellent Service, Great Food and Entertainment and Fun Excursions

CONS

Grumpy Old People

RECOMMENDED

Yes

We had a wonderful time on Quantum of the Seas. Not only is it a beautiful ship but it was full of service oriented staff that went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and took care of our every need. We loved the easy access to reservations for the restaurants and shows through our phone and being able to keep track of what we had planned everyday. The Vitality Spa was a favorite of ours and the staff there was beyond wonderful. We enjoyed the variety of food that was served in the several complimentary restaurants and again the service was beyond anything we are accustomed to in our daily lives, so very special. Even regarding the few issues we ran into, or thought we had it only took a quick trip to customer services and it was all cleared up and we were happier than before. The only thing that got on my nerves was the complaining I heard from the older passengers who obviously don't adapt well to change and didn't like the differences they found on this cruise compared with their last, but ourselves, well we thought it was perfect and can't wait to do it again!

PROS

CONS

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Overall enjoyed our cruise but disappointed in the general level of service. There were some times we received expectional service & other times service was below average with general service average. I expected exceptional service to be the overall standard offered. Disappointed in some of the food offered - in particular those restaurants featured as " fine dining " - The Grande & Coastal Kitchen Many issues with the general response being " ship is new " - I do not feel this is adequate as we paid for full service not a rebated price for "new ship"

Beautiful Ship

MARCH

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Beautiful ship, well maintained, plenty of space to relax, staterooms had plenty of storage areas, room attendants were courteous,helpful and polite.

CONS

Entertainment areas ( aside from threater) were too small for such a large ship. Deck 6 should have never been designated as a partially obstructed view w/balcony stateroom. We were very disappointed with a total obstruction of the lifeboat parked on the balcony. The dining rooms were very disorganized. The dining personnel were inexperienced and in some cases impolite. Not enough help! Food was not up to standard. Very disappointing for any dining experience.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Would liked to have seen a Welcoming Show and Departure Show as well as a show every evening. (Perhaps one of the ice). The entertainment we did see was excellent. The technology was incredible, the music was incredible, the Robot Bar was something to behold, we were glad to experience this technology, but as Senior Citizens will not seek it out. Both boarding and departure procedures were very well organized. Our Thank You to Royal Carribean "Quantum of the Seas" for this unique experience. Our Thanks also to the Captain for keeping us informed about the weather conditions and how he was making our journey home a little more comfortable.

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

The entertainment was wonderful. The ship was spotless. The food selection was very good. The staff was friendly and helpful. Liked north star, rock wall

CONS

No wifi. No daily news paper. TV selections limited. Not fond of Dynamic Dining. Hated the wedge and ottomen seats in Diamond Club.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

The Diamond Club was very good. We met a lot of nice people. The storage in our cabin was a pleasant surprise, as was the bathroom. Lots of room. The dance music was very good. However the smoke in the casino was awful. I ended up with a sinus infectin and my wife couldn't even stay there. You need to rethink that. Maybe one bar and a section of the outside deck. Similar to Celebrity. The ship is beautiful. My wife commented on how beautiful the artwork is.
