Great Cruise Experience by scipoletta

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Explorer of the Seas / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

The itinary was great. Areas I have always wanted to visit. The cruise staff and activities were great. Had to wait too long at the Casino for a machine, but I guess it saved me money. The food was not as good as on other ships in the main dining room, but not terrible. The service was good. Entertainment was good.

Wonderful ports!! Should be more of these cruises. by barb4travel

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Explorer of the Seas / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

I love RCCL. I love ‘Voyager’ class ships. Explorer needs some big time cleaning work and every cruise itinerary should be treated equally. We truly felt like they were killing a week with us before their big 23 nite itinerary. PNW Cruises beats the heck out of repetitive Caribbean, Mexico, Bahamas etc. There should be more of them year round. Central to Northern East Coast would work too. Many don’t need 90s and sun and beaches for cruising.

Great Pacific Coastal Adventure by NanaCruises

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Explorer of the Seas / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

Once again Royal Caribbean does not disappoint. The crew on this ship was exceptional. The entertainment was fun and the performers talented. I typically cruise to the Caribbean and totally enjoyed this departure from my norm. The Pacific Northwest is a beautiful area of our country with so many wonderful and interesting places to visit. The weather was absolutely beautiful. I’ll definitely be returning.

Quick Friend Getaway by debmar

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Emerald Princess / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

I thought the onboard photographs were beautiful. But they were too expensive. $25 dollars each or $249 for everything. A lot of photos were left over. I would have bought a couple if there was some kind of special of 6 for $100.0, or something similar. In the end, I did not buy any pictures.

Ship: Emerald Princess / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

Loved that the ship dropped for us in Los Angeles rather than San Diego. This made getting how more convenient. We'll be back. Food was great, help was great.

Wonderful, a great getaway. by annelore

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Emerald Princess / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

Was a very nice cruise and would recommend. The ship was huge and there was so much to do but it was also nice to have a couple of sea days where we were able to relax by the pool. Even though the ship was full it did not feel crowded.

Ship: Celebrity Infinity / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

It was excellent! We booked this cruise through the CA Wine Festival and we were not disappointed. The wine events hosted by Drea O’Connell of O’Connell Wines we’re wonderful and Celebrity Infinity was a beautiful ship with excellent food, entertainment, and service!

Great friends, perfect weather and itinerary by mjm1219

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Celebrity Infinity / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

Overall we were glad we went. Calaifornia Coastal Cruise is wonderful itinerary. Celebrity is still our favorite. I think we prefer the Soltice class ships, but still a great time.

Great Cruise! Royal Caribbean is the Best!! by Eagle0127

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Explorer of the Seas / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

Royal Caribbean is outstanding and our favorite!! Beautiful ships and great service! We have sailed Carnival, Princess, Disney and NCL (all very good), but Royal is by far our favorite and exclusive the last five years. I believe the loyalty benefits are better also, in our experience.

Good cruise, great ports to visit, friendly staff but no WOW factor on the ship by RADixon

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Explorer of the Seas / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

We did enjoyed the cruise. The ports were interesting amd there was plenty of time in each port to experience them. The itenarary was the main attraction. The ship is well maintained and clean; food was good but not outstanding; the service was good but not outstanding; staff was was helpful and attentive but no WOW. However, I do recommend this cruise primarily because of the itenarary!

Great Destinations by rdromance

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Explorer of the Seas / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

The ship is old and it shows it. Unfortunately the food in the dining room was not the best. Luckily the specialty restaurants made up for it. The Italian and Japanese restaurants were very good. You never see the cruise staff around the ship, only at an event. Other lines I have been on, they were everywhere, which is great. You get to know them and they get to know you. The venues they used for some activities were not good. Having trivia in the Schooner Bar was not big enough for the amount of people participating. The last day they moved it to a lounge.

A great mini break and excellent value for money. We actually booked an inside cabin but Princess upgraded us the next day which was a wonderful surprise.

Not again by donnaandkarl

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Explorer of the Seas / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

This was our 14th cruise and our 8th RCCL. The ship was beautifully remodeled and very clean. We have never been on a cruise that had such a old crowd. Not that I ind old, Im no spring chicken but everyone was disabled. Everything we did therefore moved at a snails pace. Got a refund for our specialty restaurants because they were terrible and we didnt want to finish them out. Had to go to customer service 9 times to get our account problems resolved. Could not get steak and lobster in steak house but I could order it in the dining room for an up charge and got better service. Really felt the sales were very pushy on the ship and needed a watch refunded and the sales associate was genuinely irritated. Just not for us. We will stick to tropical destinations and newer ships,

Not a great experience by NonieB

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Explorer of the Seas / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

Disappointing. We have been on a lot of cruises, but this is the first with RC. For the higher price they charge over other cruises, we expected better. Probably won't cruise them again

Infinity West Coast by ras3104

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Celebrity Infinity / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

The staff was phenominal. Always there at your beck and call. The ship needs some updating. The Shore Excursions were unorganized and lacked in quality. Overall enjoyed the Cruise but would pick anohter location next time and another ship.

even though this was a repositioning cruise with no ports. I had a jolly good time.  Time seems to fly, with so many activities. Food was sumptuous. Service was excellent

Great First Cruise by MissCharid

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Island Princess / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

Great staff, clean ship, and lots to do...or not do. Easy to find activities, a good selection of food, or easy to just relax and do nothing. We missed one stop due to weather inhibiting our travel time, but the captain did a great job making us feel safe in gale force winds over two days.
