Alaska - Inside Passage Cruise Reviews

We had a wonderful family reunion cruise. Our balcony room was outstanding. The food in the main dining room was delicious. The other included restaurants were tasty and fun to visit. The entertainment was great. Loved the cruise and family time!!!

Even though testing mandatory, and wore mask, got COVID anyway.

Good experience. Try to get more activities indoors. Things that were missing- 1. Pool tables. Get couple of pool tables. They don’t cost much and good activity. 2. Get an indoor cards room for families to play. We were sitting outside playing cards at midnight in cold weather 3. Make arcade room more easily accessible for kids and add some free games .

Great-Relaxing,all FOOD Great!Spa Amazing-CrewBest

We had rain in Sitka but this was not unexpected at this time of the year. The shuttle to the town center from the port had long crowded queues. Otherwise, the cruise was just as we expected and there was nothing extraordinary that we experienced.

Will never book Holland again. Everything was an up charge. Entertainment was boring and gaps between. Food was bland, wouldn’t eat anything twice. Food wasn’t available all day without paying extra.

over all it was a good vacation I don't like the fact that because the ship was down 1 engine that we didn't get to go to correct stops with no compensation for it! also there are quite a few large people on your ships but most of your chairs were not built for them I saw 1 woman so squished into a chair that she was in pain think about it!!

Overall it was a relaxing cruise, since I had been this route before, I didn't need to get off the ship or do excursions at every port. I read and napped, and sat out on the balcony. It was what I needed. Since I had been on this route before the pandemic, I can tell some things have changed and been a bit curtailed.

We enjoyed most aspects of this cruise, however we did feel a little limited by the lack of a quality rock n roll band and the mediocrity of the piano bar performer. We found the band in the B B King Blues club to be the best band on the ship and we enjoyed their performances immensely. We also caught the comedian one night and he was also good.

I love this Alaskan cruise. It was unfortunate that the weather didn't accomodate us as much as I would have liked. I may receommend doing a sailing earlier in the year to avoid the rainiest times.

Very disappointed from last year. Food was terrible unless you up pain to specialty dining. The onboard shop h no merchandise.The port stops were too short and disjointed . The testing for Victoria was a joke!

Great cruise with opportunity to enjoy Whales, Orcas, Bald eagles and other natural fauna in Alaska.

Would recommend for anyone that hasn't been on an Alaska cruise.

Our first cruise. Seward embarkation was not great at all. Ship was great. Cabin was comfortable. People maintaining cabin were nice. Wind Jammer was awesome. Formal dining was awesome. Need to have better Indian/South Asian cuisine that was repeated almost every day and was OK but needs improvement. Safety was ok. Programs are good but can cater more for kids in the age group of 9-17 as we felt very limited. Not much stage shows other than one comedy evening that got repeated twice. Pretty boring. Movies are only two for 8 days and that is also not having choices if you want to go for a movie. Cuisine in Wind Jammer was the best and the people serving are amazing. Please keep them happy as they did a great job. Interesting to see one Ping pong table for the entire ship is really not fun. We sat for 1 hour to get a table play. Hair salon and the crew are nice. Disembarkation was nice and easy. Temperature in the ship was well maintained. Overall a great experience and lots of good improvements to make.

I think royal is desperate to recoup its losses without thinking through treatment of its customers and having the right ratios of staff etc. After cruise calling in and being on hold for 1hour 23 minutes to sort out the lost luggage with no help once an agent picked up is sad.

The ports and excursions were excellent. The cruise took our extended-family travel party, which was initially booked together, and just a few weeks before the cruise decided to split us all apart, throwing us in rooms all over the ship. They still have not offered a reasonable explanation of why they did this. My husband and half my kids ended up on another floor. My siblings and parents were scattered all over the place. The cruise refused to fix the problem over the phone, and we were told just to figure it out on the ship. Having to go back and forth with guest services during what was supposed to be a relaxing cruise was frustrating, and they still didn't get our original rooms back. Also Cheap Cruises was utterly useless in trying to solve issues.

Our cruise was wonderful. The Ovation of the Seas is a beautiful ship with a lot to do and explore on the sea days. RC staff keep the ship clean, the safety protocols are very good, the food was very good in the WinnJammer and the dinning room. The staff made our experience very enjoyable. We are very satisfied and hope to take another cruise on RC.

A great overall experience with a different vibe than a hot cruise. Would recommend to anyone looking to relax in a chiller atmosphere.

We had a nice time and look forward to cruising again. The ship was nice and the staff was excellent. Every staff member we encountered said hello or good morning. Purchased the cafe select card for less than $40 and it was good for 15 specialty coffees.

The last day we couldn't do anything on the ship!!! Because everything thing closed at arrival to Vick at 11AM!! Bars closed, eating places open late 1PM or after, no shops, casino closed, nothing to do and they didn't open because we didn't leave until 9;30PM or later!!!! not a good day for us....
