Alaska Queen Elizabeth cruise.

We are in a princess suite. The food and service have been outstanding. I cant really find much negative with our experience so far! Breakfast has plenty of choice, lunch also has plenty of choice. Several meals are finished by the table which is a nice touch. Wine list is very good and I have had some great wine. The quality of service in the princess dining room couldn't be faulted in any way. From the moment you walk in, the staff are friendly and cant do enough. Everything is done to absolute perfection. The A la carte menu is also excellent and gives options if you want a change from the main menu. Dining room is tranquil and relaxing. Embarkation was great, quick and efficient. Afternoon tea was great, fantastic service. Our room Stewart was very attentive and visited the cabin Several times a day. All in I wouldn't cruise with anyone else but cunard!

Big Win on our Cruise to Alaska

This was a Christmas present to two of our grandchildren, ages 13 and 10, who never cruised before and wanted very much to see Alaska. Having recently returned from a disappointing and lackluster MSC cruise we were worried since we wanted our grandkids' very first cruise to be an extra special experience and it was! From the moment we set foot in the Seattle Terminal, it was smooth sailing! The enbarkment process was the quickest we ever experienced. Score! Our grandchildren were like little kids in a candy store when we had lunch at the Windjammer. I was impressed with the variety of food and surprised by how tasty everything was. The water stations even offered Vitality water which was a change from the usual watered down lemonade and ice tea most ships offer. And hot chocolate packets were available for the asking. Thumbs up for the Windjammer. Score again! We were off to a good start. After lunch we roamed the ship and even as seasoned cruisers we were able to take in the beauty of the ship through our grandkids eyes and were wowed by all the ship had to offer, especially on the upper decks and SeaPlex. Though the artwork on the ship, especially some of the elevators were a headscratch all in all, the ship was clean and never really felt crowded. Score again! With the goal of spending a whole week of quality time with our grandkids, we shared a balcony cabin which seemed larger than other cruise cabins and even had an extended balcony. We never felt in each other's way even with four in the room and we still had room to play card games when we were exhausted and needed time to ourselves. We brought plenty of magnetic hooks and over the door hooks to hang our coats, seapasses and sling bags. Another score for the cabin! We had a set time for dinner in the Silk Dining Room each night and we were not disappointed. The room was elegant and we had two of the best waitstaff, Joseph and Kharlos. They made each dinner a joy with their friendly demeanor and brought special drinks and treats for the grandkids every night. They even entertained us singing and dancing several nights. The meals, while not five star quality were definitely one of the better ones we've had on cruises. Score once more for great dinners! We also ate at Izumi and Chopped Grille which some liked better than others. There were a few disappointments among them the headlining shows. We skipped Sequins and Feathers since we didn't think it was appropriate for younger children; we left Starwater before it ended as it was just too strange and we couldn't get into it; the comedian, while funny sometimes, his pace with his jokes was off and kind of fell flat. The only show we all enjoyed was the juggler/comedian. For a 7 day cruise to only have one production that was enjoyable was pretty poor. Thank goodness for all the available activities on the ship. Ping pong, foosball, soccer, bumper cars, billiards, rock climbing, escape room, indoor pool, shows, trivia, silent disco, so much to do! And our grandkids did them all! Score again with the amount of activities onboard. Three last misses included how early the Windjammer and ice cream stand closed, so no bedtime snacks. After 9pm little food options were available except for the pizza, which was pretty good. Another total miss was the lack of clear communication from Royal Caribbean. Information was found only on the Cruise Compass and app, which usually did not offer much detail. RC should have been utilizing their onboard TV station more with info as to port times; weather; shuttles to ports; estimated time for glacier watching; options for luggage; disembarkment procedures and anything else important. Information regarding the RC shuttle to the airport was a huge miss. We were told it would be a 15 min wait with a 30 min ride to the airport. We ended up waiting over an hour to get on the shuttle, it took way over 30 min to get to the airport and then you had to sit on the bus another 10 min before you could get off. It was fortunate we had a late afternoon flight. You need at least 90 min to 2 hours lead time of when you have to get through security for your flight. Some people who paid for the shuttle ended up leaving the line to pay for a taxi to ensure they made their flights. Being frustrated and anxious is a poor way to end a great cruise. But for the four of us, we had the best time on the cruise. Even with the misses, there were a lot more WINS!!!

Highly recommended!

It's for sure above my expectations, the whole crew I met was friendly, the food is really good and every event is well thought to make an amazing experience for everyone on board. For me the best part is the fact you do not see the buffet everywhere with food boiling for hours, instead you have a menu on the table to order what you want to eat a few minutes later you have your food, which makes thing clearer, more hygienic and more special because it makes you feel you are being take care of. The no kids policy is also a amazing thing if you are looking for a chill experience The only complain was the fact the embarkation delayed about 1hours, but it's not a of a big deal given the pros Overall, I'm looking forward for the next one and I highly recommend it for everyone, specially with a bigger group of people because you have a lot of options to enjoy together and have a good time.
