Review summary

It was great cruise except for the bourbon issue. Scenery is so beautiful and the waterfalls!!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
We bought the premium drink packages and they had only a few servings of bourbon. Crown Royal wasn't available at all, Makers Mark and Canadian Club were only available a couple of days. One of the reasons I booked this cruise was because of the drink package. Must just be bait to get you on board then there is nothing you can do about it. I had great expectations for Royal Caribbean and was very disappointed. Food was good throughout.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Bingo was fun as well as name that tune which was played in multiple venues on the ship.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Entertainment was good. The bands were good also.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Stateroom attendant, Rafael was great! Ni the casino bartender was excellent! Charmayne at Jamie's Italian was also very good as well as her helper!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was clean. Signage was very good. Bathrooms were clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
For two people it was perfect. Rafael took very good care cleaning the room.

Ship tip

Make sure they have what they advertise if getting a package!!

Ports of call

Seattle, Washington

5 out of 5
Seattle is a beautiful city!

Ketchikan, Alaska

4 out of 5
Loved Ketchikan, went on a crab feast, it was okay. Not a lot of time to eat and the crab was good just not the best I have had.

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
Skagway was great. Took the White Pass Scenic Railway, I recommend it! The scenery is breathtaking!

CRUISE ENDICOTT ARM & DAWES GLACIER

5 out of 5
We cruised through here and it was beautiful!! We saw seals that had just given birth!

Juneau, Alaska

4 out of 5
Juneau was beautiful. We went whale watching and they served food on the boat. We did see whales! The food was marginal as there wasn't much left by the time we went through the line.

Victoria, British Columbia Did not visit port

Masks were still required, and I had been there before.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Being able to take your own luggage is so much faster!!! Needed a little more direction on where we were supposed to go to get off of the ship.

Glad you enjoyed your Alaskan cruise. Seems the ships are NOT getting good alcohol deliveries. Sure hope that improves. Thanks for letting us know.
