Alaska - Inside Passage Cruise Reviews

Great experience, will definitely do it again !!!

Friendly staff and beautiful views Might be a snoozer for those looking for night life

Cruise of a lifetime, unbelievable weather; crystal clear skies every single day!

Icy Straights Point should be taken off the itinerary. The hot tubs & ships food was too cold & not hot enough the entire cruise.

Overall, I enjoyed visiting Alaska. Such a lovely place. I have always preferred Royal Caribbean for the hospitality but perhaps the pursuit of profit via specialty restaurants etc. has resulted in less quality. While some staff members were warm and friendly, others appeared arrogant and not supportive. One example was the dining room reservation person who told me that if I didn’t have a reservation I would have to wait on line for an earlier dining time. He did not help me to make future reservations or inform me how I could make them. The hot dogs were tasteless and overcooked. A lot of the meat that was served was dry and tasteless and the lamb chops served at the Mediterranean dinner was mostly gristle and bone. One of the best meals for me was breakfast in the Windjammer dining room. This helped to offset some of the other meals. I also loved the snack and sandwich areas and the desserts were always excellent. I also enjoyed the shows in Two70. What a lovely space!

Incredible Honeymoon trip! Neither one of us wanted to come back home. From the service to the scenery to the excursions - Top Notch! We highly recommend Alaska with Royal Caribbean!

Title of cruise is a bit deceptive we thought we were booking a cruise were we can see glaciers from onboard the ship as the pictures browsed yet we were told by the Next Cruise department that wouldnt happen being Quantum was to large and we would have to revisit Alaska on some of their smaller ships.

The itinerary, food and service is superior to other cruises we have been on and more than makes up for the lack of cruise entertainment.

First HAL cruise (45th cruise). Expectations for ship experience were not met. Itinerary was great. Probably won't do HAL again.

Would do a cruise again, but would choose more wisely on which ports the ship is going to and how long the stay is.

We had a good time friendly crews and nice sailing .

Good service attitude, Good food quality, Clean public spaces.

Miserable! Since disabled and on scooter, couldn't go on excursions. Cruise line has their hand in our pockets for absolutely EVERYTHING! Never saw a whale, bear, dolphin, eagle, or any wildlife at all. It was loud and crowded. Unless you're a family or large group who like to do things together, stay up late and drink at the bars, or hike at ports, there really was not much to do.

The cruise was wonderful! The only criticism would be having too little time in Ketchikan and Victoria.

I really enjoyed the cruise. I was definitely one of the younger people there at 26 and since I went by myself I spent a good amount of time at the bar exploiting the 15 drinks a day drink package hahaha. But I was pleasantly surprised to find some of the best bartenders I have ever had the pleasure to be served by. I had my spots that I posted up at and started to be familiar with the amazing staff on board. The seated options for food that are included were great! 5 days is just long enough to feel like a vacation but not long enough for your health to stay suffering from all the booze and good food 😊

Not delivered what advertised. The menu offers vast choices of alcohol. All my orders of drinks priced $18 which are covered by my alcohol package were declined or cancelled. Instead offered $10-$12 substitution. It is cheating. This part was greatly disappointing.

Lucky cruisers! The weeks prior to our cruise showed rain, wind and cold weather in Alaska. We were ready for it, but got a great surprise all week long. One of the first days had clouds and wind, so we didn't get much deck time. The rest of the week offered either great sunny deck time or sunny excursions. The crew was gracious, polite and helpful, and they did all they could to make our trip as memorable as possible. Entertainment was fun, food was delicious -- pizza, burgers, tacos, hot and cold beverages on deck -- and the bartenders made us feel like family. What more can a person ask for on vacation?

This was the third Alaska cruise we've taken. It was to be a prelude to our connection through to Hawai'i. The day before the cruise, RCCL notified us our Hawai'i leg was cancelled. Apparently, the Jones act prohibits foreign flagged vessels from departing from, and arriving to, a US port. It didn't matter it was 2 cruises with a stop in Vancouver... They wouldn't let us go. So... Alaska was all we had. I would do it again. The more we visit, the more we find we want to see the next time.

Fantastic ship, fantastic itinerrary, Alaska is amazing and must do.

The Alaska cruise has must see scenery, the excursions are interesting and support a spectrum of activities. Ovation of the Seas and her crew made this trip most enjoyable.
