Last perk of The Key! Farewell, Anthem! See ya soon! 6/27/25
Joanne P.

Our first time in a new cruise line. We've been on many Carnival cruises and felt it was time to explore other lines. I wanted a destination that'd be new to us as well, to enhance the experience. Since we booked the Alaska 7 day via Costco travel- we got an on board credit added and a Costco shopping card that's be received 30 days from the return of our trip. I have a friend that has done some cruises on RC and she gave some tips. But, once I started looking on You Tube- I've received additional tips from frequent RC cruisers. Install the RC app and about 3-4 months til your sail date- plenty of shore excursions will have discounted rates (10-25% off) and specialty dining experiences as well. We purchased The Key- which You Tubers have mixed reviews on. Special perks for The Key: special lane to enter cruise terminal (earlier entrance- 9:45am). Key group is allowed first along w/ Pinnacle & Suites. Day 1 on ship- special lunch in main dining room & ordering from Chops (specialty restaurant) menu. If you have a carry on- another perk is that staff will deliver your carry on to your stateroom. Lunch is served for Key members at 11am. So, regardless of what time you enter your boarding time on the ship- take advantage of early on board perk. Rooms are available at 1:30pm. Day 1- many staff are like vultures trying to sell you specialty dining packages. We decided to bee line to Guest Services- then they pointed us to Bolero to have a North Star reservation revised. While on Deck 4 (Royal Esplanade) on Day 1- we even signed up for the week long Thermal Spa couple package $238. Which allows guests to utilize the thermal room, dry sauna, and steam room- along with the variety of cold showers/ cold mist/ tropical rain features. Reason I knocked a star down is, (comparing to Carnival 7 day cruises & larger ships)- there is no salt water pool in the general area of the Vitality Spa. Also- no Vitality Cafe is also n Anthem of the Seas. Such a bummer because it'd be refreshing to have a fresh squeezed juice after enjoying the thermal spa. In the ladies locker room- one toilet is provided. Yikes. If you get the thermal spa package- we made sure to snag some bath robes. The relaxation room, is spacious and provides citrus infused water. As with any cruise- monitor your bill daily because we were billed for services at the spa and some beverage charges at Windjammer that we didn't purchase. The ice cream machine isn't readily available on Anthem- like it is on the Lido deck on Carnival. The ice cream machine here gets locked up at 8pm. I didn't get a chance to enjoy one cone. Womp womp. The solarium (+18 up) pool area was great. We did this on the very first day after our Key lunch. Frustrating that the towel pick up is on one side of the solarium area. And there was no signage at the opposite side/ Solarium where to get them. I like to do some of the trivia activities. What's annoying is Schooner Bar has cramped seating and the trivia activities are back to back. Which makes it difficult for others to snag seats. But, the Desert Pear margarita is delicious! The North Star experience is definitely worth it. Since we didn't do a whale watching excursion- it was so cool to see orcas from our 300 feet vantage point! I loved how Windjammer staff was on point. I had some questions and so did some guests about ingredients in dishes. If the immediate staff manning that station didn't have an answer- they would politely excuse themselves from their station & ask another employee. Music Hall was my absolute favorite venue. Even if there was no show to catch at the moment. But, the upper level was so spacious and it was great to stretch your legs out. Dress Your Best has 2 nights on the ship. And we never rush ourselves to get dolled up on the first occasion (Day 2). We prefer mid cruise- Day 5, I believe. We snagged our photo oops before long lines start. Although we haven't been cruising (Carnival) since 2018- it's cool to see RC offer digital images to view versus printing out every image taken. And if you find an image(s) you wanna purchase- it gets sent to your phone/ device. No SD card! We did book Wonderland which was a great experience. We're sold on Royal Caribbean and look forward to our next sailing.

This is my experience. My husband and I went on our first cruise. We called the Royal Caribbean reservations the representative booked us for an Alaska cruise. She suggested we pay for gratuity that way we won't have to worry about it on the cruise and pay for travel insurance. I did pay for both, I added a drink package, the Key package and an haircut at their salon. None of them are worth the money. If you want something special to drink just pay for it. The gratuities, some of the places even took gratuities from us after we paid for the package so don't get it. The key was supposed to be some kind of upgrade on Internet and getting on the ship in and off the ship at a special location and it really didn't work out very well. The Key also had the benefit of getting VIP seats for the show and the first show we went to the girl just told us go up the stairs to the left. We found better seats right in front of us so we went there instead. I'd say 97% of the staff were kind, professional and helpful. when asking questions to some of the staff they were not very helpful and were rude. Guest Services would send you away without being helpful and they were actually pretty rude. By the fourth evening. I was kind of fed up with not getting the Internet I had paid for, and I went into a guest services and demanded, waited to see someone that would help me. The guy from guest services took my phone from me told me I wasn't set up correctly and he began going into my phone. He said do you know your password to the Royal Caribbean app. Yes I did. The first day we were invited to go to an art auction on the second day. We did go and bid on some art, one of the pieces the auctioneer/director said if we paid for the frame we will get free shipping. Also we had been given a coupon of $100 off. The person we were assigned to said we could not use the coupon then said we can't get free shipping. I said the auctioneer specifically said this piece and we are paying for a frame. Shipping was over $300. Bait and switch for sure. Be careful. The salon, I don't go to salons here at home but I was so excited to go get my hair done. The guy that cut and styled my hair he first told me my hair is bad and I need a treatment. I said ok. Then he still told me throughout my haircut how bad my hair is. At the end of the haircut he said I needed these products so I bought them $236. I felt so bad about myself and how bad my hair was and that's why I bought the treatment products. The food was mediocre for the most part. Some of the meat tasted different and we both would leave it on our plates. My husband lost 8 lbs on the cruise and I stayed the same weight, I like sweets. lol. Again be careful and don't get taken advantage of. If you enjoy cruise that's awesome but we won't ever go on one again.

Dessert in Wonderland
Melanie P.

My very first cruise ever and I was lucky to book the The Presidents Cruise in Alaska and Canada. Each year one cruise is chosen to be The President's cruise. During this cruise, there's celebrations, block parties, and gifts with Presidents cruise emblazoned throughout. Of course, the Royal Carribean President is onboard and can be spotted walking around the ship. I'll break down my experience by category. FOOD - Windjammer free buffet was just okay. Alot of the food lacked flavor and were the same items throughout the trip. It gets a little tiring eating the same thing over and over. My Time Dining is also free, but you are able to reserve a dining time and be served. It definitely was a step up with lobster being served for free on one of the nights. I did enjoy the escargot, which was surprisingly good and the hubby loved the seabass with truffle sauce. For paid dining, we tried Wonderland, which was a fine dining restaurant dressed in a whimsical Alice in Wonderland theme, coupled with amazing food artistry and daring entrees. I loved this place! Easily one of my favorite dining experiences on the ship. CUSTOMER SERVICE - Amazing! From wait staff, housekeeping, bartenders, etc. Everyone was always happy and cheerful. ENTERTAINMENT - Some of the shows were Vegas worthy! The lighting, dancing, singing, acting and technology reminded me of watching shows on the strip. The performers are top notch. INTERNET - Overpriced for internet that barely worked. I would not recommend purchasing this. The best internet was when we were at a port city. PORT CITIES - We ported at Juneau, Skagway, and Victoria. The Alaskan cities were cute and rustic with alot of history and beautiful scenary. Victoria was bigger and was bustling with tourists. All cities were very welcoming of cruise ship tourism as many business owners have stated they had been struggling for the past two years to get back on their feet. The tender boats to go into Skagway from the cruise ship were super crowded and to get back on was a very long wait. I think they were manning 1-2 tender boats at a time. Very uncomfortable process due to the wait and blazing heat with no shade while waiting. CHECKOUT PROCESS ON LAST DAY - Absolutely horrible. We had an excursion in our port city and had to wait in a long line with one person manning the line - 2 or even three ppl would have been better. So many ppl were upset because it was so slow. Afterward, we had issues getting through security, my son's luggage was lost, and lines to exit were crazy long. We barely made our charter bus for our tour! I overheard some passengers complaining that the disembarkation day is always chaotic and unorganized, even before Covid. Therefore, my review for my experience was mixed. I definitely had some highlights and disappointments. I think this experience deserves a solid 3.5. I also did get sick as the cruise was ending :(

First and foremost: Do yourself a favor and book a cruise on Royal Caribbean! If you ever wanted to be treated like you were the Queen of England, then book a cruise on Royal Caribbean. Wannabe Kings also welcomed. We just came back from back-to-back cruises to Alaska, with Card Players Cruises (yes, we played tournament poker every day and cash games all night long for TWO weeks!), on Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas. Talk about luxury! Talk about service! The ship is massive -- pool halls, multiple bars, dance halls, musicians, Broadway style shows -- a week on the Quantum of the Seas is a vacation of a lifetime. Two weeks? Sublime! We think we'll go back next year -- when Card Players Cruises (www.cardplayerscruises.com) -- has another weeklong trip to Alaska. Be sure to visit "Creek Street" and watch the sea otters each the salmon; and take the excursion in Ketchikan to see the bears feasting on the thousands of salmon who took their last swim up a shallow creek. I thought I was on National Georgraphic! I must give a shout out to the tremendous staff on the Quantum of the Seas (because we bought the unlimited bar drinks, and felt we need to get our money's worth, most of the following are bartenders): Melissa (our room attendant), Yuki, Tracy, John, Kenneil at the Schooner Bar; Liu, Riska, Federico, Muamer and Xiaoxin at the Italian restaurant; Wu at the Izumi restaurant, Rajiv, Bob, at Chops restaurant; the service staff in the poker room: Jefferson, Ajay, Joey; Dadang and Zakhe in the Casino bar; Ali in the Liquor Store, Melvin at the Windhammer, Anna - store clerk from South Africa, and who did I miss? Oh! Thanks to Mickie and Loki on the bear country tour; and Johavanny (bar tender and waiter) and Jennifer (Waiter at Bing). Special shout out to Zelma. Everyone was special. Heather and I were the givers of $2.00 bills.

Quantum of the seas
Dani D.

I'm going to start this review with the bad. Their food has gone downhill. It is only edible, sometimes okay, sometimes not good at all. The plus, you have tons of options to find something you like. The service on royal is beyond compare! From the servers to the stateroom attendants, the service never fails to wow! Royal upcharges considerably for their excursions, but they also go above and beyond to vet the companies you tour with in order to ensure an incredible experience. In 2023, I sailed on Anthem to the Bahamas and Quantum to Alaska. I only wish their good quality matched the service and experience they provide.

We sailed aboard the Royal Caribbean Quantum of the Seas and we had a phenomenal experience. The ship is beautiful, the waitstaff in the restaurant was attentive and remembered what we liked to drink and different things that made us unique from other guests. The Flow Rider and rock wall were both really cool. Good food selection as well. If you have kids and they like sports, I highly recommend the Sea Plex. They have pickup basketball, soccer, dodgeball, bumper cars, some Xbox's, cornhole, air hockey, an arcade, and foosball.

If I could give no stars, I would. Our 4 year old daughter came out of their child care, Adventure Ocean, with scratches up and down her left arm. The staff gave absolutely no explanation and the management team said it must have been the carpet. They are nail marks, not from a carpet. They offered money off another cruise. Are they out of their minds?? No, I don't want money off another cruise with you. My daughter was hurt in your care and you can't explain what happened, and she is afraid to tell me what happened. Someone better call and resolve this with me soon.

Huge mega ship
A Hart E.

Our first cruise in 19 years, Alaska on the Ovation. This ship is outstanding and HUGE. The management the workers the rooms the food the entertainment all top notch. I can't say enough about this cruise line. Everything they did was perfect. There is some negative but not enough to bring down my 5 star rating. Let's dig into it. Food was great. We did Our Dining Time, the Windjammer and off the boat. Love the Windjammer because they have all different kinds of food and it's different everyday. Of course some staples are the same like eggs and rice and such. If you drink a lot of soda the drink package is probably worth it but for us it was useless. I think that was about 200 bucks. We also paid for the internet package VOOM and that was absolutely the worst. Especially in our room. It was iffy and at over 200 bucks it should in 2023 work better. Even the VOOM guy working there made excuses for it. Drinks were 17 bucks. REALLY? LOL The one thing I don't like and it's probably the same on all ships is they nickel and dime you to death. Digital photos are 10 for $160.00 You are forced into Gratuity(tips) for your room and MY time dinner. The rooms are great. Clean well kept and with the deck we loved it. The bathroom is great. Not sure why some people complain about that. Yes it's not like at home but I am on a ship. They have a baggage service that takes your luggage and gets it on the flight you are on and it's there when you land at home. GREAT!!! Shuttle I think was about 35 bucks each to the airport. You can do an Uber for 50 bucks. Tour of the ship 200 bucks. The I fly we got for free one day. All in all this ship was fantastic!!! One morning you will wake up in Endicott Arm Fjord Oh My God! I think this is where God lives. This was worth the whole trip.

Example of a Royal Caribbean "unobstructed" view.  Buyer beware!
Steve L.

We paid for an unobstructed view and this is what we received. Customer service said nothing could be done in terms of moving us to another cabin or giving us a discount or package upgrade for our trouble. I will never travel with them again. Do not trust what they tell you about whether or not the view is obstructed.

Beef Tenderloin - dinner highlight!
Courtney L.

Itinerary: 4-day Pacific Coastal, Seattle round-trip Ports of call: Nanaimo, BC & Victoria, BC My family enjoyed our four-day vacation but it passed by way too quick! We had a wonderful time on the Explorer of the Seas and would have loved a few more days on the ship. I could write pages about our trip, but will keep it as concise as possible, focusing on a few key areas. STATEROOM: My family of four was lucky enough to reserve two connecting inside-cabins, with two of us in each. Our rooms overlooked the Promenade housing a few shops, bar and the 24/7 Cafe. Despite all the action below, we were never disturbed by noise. At night, the Promenade's lights continue to glow, which I personally loved, but they can be easily blocked out by just pulling the curtains. The bathroom is pretty tight, especially the shower area, but that's expected with an inside-cabin on any cruise. For two people, the cabin was comfortable overall and felt more spacious thanks to the window. FOOD: We ate at the Sapphire dining room daily for breakfast and dinner. The dinner menu offered a wide variety of featured appetizers, entrees and desserts each day along with a few "classic" options to choose from. While I enjoyed each of the entrees I ordered, I considered the appetizers to be better executed overall in terms of flavor, with the most memorable being their chilled fruit soups, pan-seared scallops and escargot. For dinner, their duck breast and beef tenderloin were a couple highlights. Unfortunately, the entrees only included a small portion of veggies, so it was somewhat challenging to meet the suggested daily intake. Also, just a note that the full-service breakfast menu is the same everyday and it would have been nice if they offered a daily special. However, there's a buffet set up in the center of the dining room with a selection of hot and cold options if you're looking for more variety. We also dined a couple times at the Windjammer buffet for lunch. The selection is pretty wide and varies daily, so I'm sure everyone can find something to enjoy. They offered burgers, tacos, fish, a carving station, Indian and Asian cuisine just to name a few items, and seemed to have a featured theme each day. We personally preferred to dine at the Sapphire since we enjoyed the full service and gourmet menu, but the Windjammer is a good option for those who are looking for a quicker meal. With respect to desserts, sadly nothing wowed us. I appreciated how they weren't overly sweet, but many of them were very light. For example, while all was fine with the flavor of the "Chocolate Decadence" cake, it was not as indulgent as its name implies. SERVICE: Whenever I cruise, the level of service always exceeds my expectations, and the Explorer was no exception. Even after a long day, the hardworking crew always greeted us with smiles and made us feel so welcome. Whether it be the cabin stewards, waiters or staff we passed by in the halls... they all made our trip extra special. Our cabin steward always left our room spotless, ensured our amenities were fully stocked and left a cute towel animal each night. We also loved getting to know our waiters (set dining), who even remembered our names and dining preferences after just a couple dinners! ACTIVITIES: On any given day, there were many complimentary activities offered, however they became somewhat repetitive. For example, there were always trivia sessions, movie showings and open play time on the Sports Deck. We enjoyed challenging ourselves on the rock climbing wall and played a round of mini golf. Plus, the Activity Staff always ensured guests were enjoying themselves! Unfortunately over the course of four days, they only offered open ice skating for two hours which happened to conflict during our set dinner. We never found ourselves bored though... if not taking part in an activity, we enjoyed relaxing on the deck or grabbing another bite to eat! ENTERTAINMENT: They featured a headliner every night, which included a production show with ship's singers and dancers, a magician, comedian and a musical performance by a group of tenors. Additionally, we attended their ice skating show, which was extremely impressive! The performers are clearly professionals and they executed many fascinating stunts that I had never before seen in-person. During our Pacific Coastal adventure, I was happy to call this ship home as we escaped the real world for a few days of pampering. Happy cruising!

Glacier. This was the closest we could get to it. Still breathtaking

Booked ahead of time and made my way here at the time I chose. Once here, scan your QR code, get in line and wait until the boat is ready to be boarded. Don't do like other people, walking up to the loading area in the wrong direction expecting to be let on the boat because you are entitled. Once onboard, you will get the safety messages. There are a lot of places to go on the boat. Most will automatically go to the third level, the top deck with all the chairs. Where one might think that you would get the best views. I did this, that is until I felt boxed in and realized I could walk around at free will. Instead I found a place at the stern that gave me better views. I also would transfer to the bow every so often depending on where we were on the tour. This would be the second level, where you could purchase food, drink and souvenirs. The best part of this cruise/tour, I learned more about the history of city than I did on just wandering around. Learned about the history of the city on where things were, why they are there, and deep dives into buildings and companies of the city. The tour starts at Pier 55, and heads north. Going past other piers, waterfront landmarks, and neighborhoods. Seeing corporate campuses, industrial piers, islands, bases, cargo ships, and much more. An hour cruise sure did pack in the history for the city. Plus the captain was entertaining and knowledgeable. Be sure to pay attention during the tour, you'll get the inside scoop on the city and what to seek out when you are exploring.

8/22/2026 Party of 5 Omg, what an experience of a lifetime!…read moreI loved every single moment of this day. This trip was a 17th birthday gift for my grandson because we wanted to do something completely different and memorable.The entire process was seamless. Checking in was easy, convenient, and very easy to locate. Plus, all the information on their website was perfectly clear. There were absolutely no hassles, no stress, and nothing to worry about--we could just sit back and enjoy ourselves.The service was top-notch, and I am so grateful for the captain and the amazing crew! They were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and just very nice people. If you are a local, you don't even need a tour guide; this is the perfect way to get some peace and quiet, listen to the waves, feel the boat rocking, and enjoy the sun, wind, and nature. It is a wonderful way to de-stress.Logistics tip: We took the light rail, walked down from Pike Place Market, and grabbed some food to bring and eat on the boat. For convenience, there is a restroom at the dock office and two right on the boat. They also have some great souvenirs downstairs by the boat restrooms. The surrounding waterfront has lots of fun things to do, too.I am well satisfied and happy with how our trip turned out. We will most definitely do this again! Things to remember: Check the weather for the day. You can bring food and drinks. Have your transportation route, parking and plan accordingly. Look up things and any events you can do while your at the waterfront. Most importantly plan out your day and enjoy yourself

There are some differences in their price tiers dependent on the time and type of sailing. Prices can range between $39-$79. Their email notifications are thorough and provided recommendations on parking, things to bring, and what to expect onboard. Snacks and non-alcoholic drinks are allowed. Alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, and mimosas are available for purchase onboard the ship. The check-in tent is located by Anthony's on Pier 66. Boarding started at around 10 minutes before departure and crew members walked us down to the marina. The ship is an 85 foot long schooner named Bay Lady and features an 87 foot mast and bench seating with backrests. This ship also has a cannon which they did fire while out on Puget Sound. The tour was 2 hours and unnarrated and bar service immediately started as soon as we cleared the marina. About 30 minutes into the voyage, crew members asked for volunteers to hoist the sails. Overall, I highly recommend this experience. The crew were attentive and consistently checked-in on our group.

If you want the best spot, make sure you grab a rooftop seat quickly -- it fills up fast, and for good reason. Watching the water and scenery from up top was unforgettable. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made the whole trip even better with fun facts and great storytelling. They also had some really cool souvenirs on board, which was a nice touch. And even better -- they pour a great drink. The perfect combo of views, vibes, and a solid pour. Highly recommend this tour if you're in the area. I'd definitely come back!

The experience was worth every penny and then some. The luxury, quality, and attention to detail is unmatched. Mark, the owner, was so attentive and a pleasure to work with. He took care of all the details and answered all my questions. The boat was beautiful and spacious for the two of us. We enjoyed the views and conversation with the crew immensely. My husband is a huge Sleepless in Seattle fan and the highlight of the evening was passing the floating house. The food was amazing. Everything was farm to fork fresh and prepared by a chef onboard. I highly recommend the crab cakes and homemade bourbon ice-cream. The pace of the evening was lovely, it didn't feel rushed or lagging. You could tell Mark worked hard to make sure that our experience from the moment we stepped aboard was seamless. He thought of everything, even providing a cozy blanket when the wind became a little chilly towards the end of the night. I cannot recommend Enchantress Cruises enough! Thank you for a lovely and memorable evening!
