Review summary

Terrible value for the experience. Cruises has really gone downhill. Everything cost extra now and the ships are too packed with passengers to enjoy anything. Food quality continues to get worse. Greed has consumed the industry.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

All the food tasted the same. Pretty much a golden corral on water.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

The planning on this trip was awful. Every event seemed to be scheduled at the same time as dining so you have to chose one or another.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Singers were OK, musicians not so great.

Children's Programs

1 out of 5

Age groups were too broad.

Don't waste your money on Royal Caribbean, they charge for literally everything on board.

You didn't even seem to enjoy the ports very much. Maybe cruising isn't for you. Most people really love that ship and Alaska cruise.

Glad I have been to Sitka before. Despite this negative view, I am looking forward to going again.

You state greed has taken over the industry, but the industry was shut down for almost two years and spent millions to maintain the fleets

Sorry you did not enjoy your cruise. We did this same itinerary last year and we had a wonderful time. It’s all about what you are looking for and what’s important to you. Food is not on top of our list but the experience and relaxation is our top priority..
