Royal Caribbean, Serenade of the Seas Alaska Cruise

Just returned from our second cruise on Serenade - first was 2 winters ago to the southern Caribbean (without our son); this most recent one to Alaska (with our 10 year old).

Service and rooms were exceptional. Our 10 year old was NOT impressed with the kids club "Ocean Adventure" however; he felt it was too "babyish" as they lump kids up to aged 11 together (12 and older are part of "FUEL" - a kids club for the older ones). He would have liked to have been able to participate in some of the events the older ones were doing (scavenger hunts, etc.) However - the pool, excursions, arcade and shows kept him satisfied.

We LOVE the SoS and it won't be our last cruise!

Went on the Serenade of the Seas cruise with 4 couples. Everyone got sick the day after we returned. Some of us had rooms on different floors and we live in different parts of Vancouver Island... wonder if anyone else got the same bug (July 5-12 Alaska run)?

All in all, a good trip though. The cabin was comfortable and clean and we appreciated the handwashing stations set up. Next time though, we'd go for a room with a balcony so we could open a window.

Thanks to the hard working staff who really made the trip fun!

Overall an amazing trip to the southern Caribbean. Ship was clean and the food was really good most of the time. Good points, rooms with Balconies, friendly Service and activities! Entertainment was fantastic. Fairly good value! Customer Service Desk had a few people having a hard time with English and Spanish. Casino tourneys waste of money and not well explained. Stick to the regular games. We were supposed to sit with other honeymoon couples but sat with many other people out of our age group. Made dinner a bit uncomfortable with conversations.

The staff on the Serenade of the Seas Royal Caribbean Alaska cruise were very hospitable and friendly. If there is anything you want or need, they will do all they can to accommodate you.

There was a small menu selection for the formal dining, and I personally felt that the cruise was a couple of days too long. Maybe it was just me, but by the 5th day I was getting sick of the ship.

The Royal Caribbean, Serenade of the Seas Alaska Cruise was out first cruise, and it will not be our last! Royal Caribbean took great care of us, and every person on the ship was working hard to make sure this was a cruise of a lifetime.

Thank you to all the Royal Caribbean staff! See you next year!
