Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining excellent with great food at the buffet. One of the main buffet stations changed themes every night. Mid shop promenade coffee house was always exceptional with great customer service throughout each location.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Our family enjoyed the bumper cars the iFly the rock wall rider and the C-Plex game area as great activities to participate in. One complaint a lot of the fun activities like three on three basketball tournaments and dodgeball were for 18 only with no exceptions we had a 16-year-old that would have been more than willing to participate but was not allowed to.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All of the featured shows were excellent. The shop was alive with music every night.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Great job by the staff. Our daughter is 6 and had some issues with following rules. The staff was able to work with her to behave and enjoy her time with other children.

Service and Staff

Close to 5 star hotel service.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
All parts of the ship were very clean

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Great for the four of us. We have 2 children 6 and 16. We asked our room attendant for an extra cot and it was roomy enough for all of us with beds set up. Portal window was incredible this is the best family ocean view on the ship.

Ship tip

Great pair of walking shoes and the royal Caribbean app on your phone

This has the most excursions to do. All are expensive. We went whale watching which was great but pricy the dick is fun with lots of reasonably priced shops.

Skagway, Alaska Did not visit port

Caught up on onboard activities.

Sitka, Alaska

Great transportation services. Town is five miles away so they have shuttles every 15 minutes. Took a city bus to fortress of the heat. Fun inexpensive tour not with the ship. Beautiful town!

Disembarkation
