We chose this cruise ship because it sails along the inside passage in Alaska, and it is the only ship that has the permission to approach glaciers. The weather was not cooperative, yet we still got to see the beauty of Alaska.
In terms of the ship itself. The embarkation and disembarkation was smooth, including all disembarkations for daily visits. The ship is not overly large, which is a ...
We chose Princess Cruise to Alaska because of their reputation and presence in that area. We found our mini suite to be clean and comfortable with ample room for the two of us. The Bordeaux dining room was very pleasant, the service first rate and the food was excellent making dinner each evening a real treat. There was more than enough to do on board, we particularly enjoyed the evening ...
We chose this cruise because it fitted with the rest of our itinerary, & excursions which were much more varied & cheaper. We gave Coral Princess a low rating because you had to go through multiple corridors to find a lift, & then not every lift went to all decks. The floor of our corridor was very uneven causing me to have a hard time walking in it. Only 1 out of 3 washing machines/dryers were ...
I chose this cruise based on recommendation of travel agent. The cruise did not meet my expectations the shore excursions were both expensive and and were not interesting or worth anywhere near cost,the food especially the buffet did not offer a good selection but the service on the ship was good.formal nights were nothing more than an opportunity for the ship personal to take pictures for sale at ...
This was my first time on a cruise. Embarkation was organized and quick, as we entered the boat we felt the energy and fun that awaits us. Our room door was decorated with balloons to help celebrate my buddy’s birthday as well as a card placed in the room for her with a special treat at the dinning room. Everyone was so wonderful and happy to serve with a smile. They worked hard to make sure are ...
We did the 7 day land & 7 day cruise & 3 day Vancouver Cruisetour! We did the land first so we could see the interior of Alaska first. The scenery is breathtaking!!! One of the highlights was taking the tour boat out of Homer. Great scenery & saw a lot of wildlife. Saw glaciers up close & glacier calving up close & the scenery was OUTSTANDING. Our tour director on land was outstanding. He provided ...
Great cruise. Wonderful side excursions. The sailing was very smooth with no rocking. The food was plentiful and delicious. Staff was excellent, especially our steward and the entertainment staff that ran the trivia contests (a favorite of mine). We travelled with a party of 37 including 5 children under 10 years old, and the ship made our dining as group very easy. Boarding and leaving was ...
Traveling with five small children, I was initially wary of an Alaskan cruise, but the Coral Princess and this experience overall has far exceeded my expectations. We were part of a large family trip - 37 of us! And, had my aunt not arranged this trip, I’m not sure I would have spent this time in Alaska. I’m so thankful that my family did the research to put us on this trip - specifically ...
We chose the Coral Princess for it's passenger size (2000), the itinerary, timing for our 37 family members, the land tour option, accessibility and wide variety of shore excursion choices.
The Coral Princess looks good, she's clean and the cabins are comfortable. The entertainment was fun, especially the trivia for my family members.
Our service in the cabins was great, but the dining ...
Our first time sea cruise with mix of land and sea experience.
Highlights: excellent logistics - Princess is a machine; attentive staff, quality of onboard shows (comedian, magician), scenery, access to Denali, cabin bed comfortable and shower hot (but tiny!). Demos by chefs were great, informative and humorous. Naturalist briefings were excellent. Train trip to Denali was very good but ...
