My wife and I have traveled around the world but have never taken a cruise in 32 years of marriage. We decided to take our first cruise and chose Alaska. After doing our due diligence, we decided to go with the Ruby Princess. The cruise was outstanding and everything exceeded our high expectations. We had a beautiful suite (L106) and the balcony views were outstanding. Our room was beautiful and ...
We [myself, wife and our two children] took the Ruby Princess Cruise to Alaska [with Glacier Bay] from Jun 29th thru Jul 6th. I had read reviews of Ruby Princess with 5 and 4 stars as well 1 star, 3 stars. I was worried when I had read 1-star reviews. Our experience was amazing. Here are the details:
Embarkation: I had read reviews on Trip Advisor suggesting that elite, club members ...
I had cruised on Princess before. Service by all staff was very good. Some processes could use improvement such as new 'intranet' event and messenger service needs to have extensive staff training so someone other than just internet staff can help you get set-up and get started. It could be a real asset, but only internet staff was able to help with set-up as directions have a couple missing ...
Had a wonderful trip to Alaska on the Ruby Princess. Was a little seasick the second day when we were in open water to Alaska. Other than that felt pretty good the rest of the trip. We had beautiful weather the whole trip and all the ports were so pretty. The service on the boat was top notch. We especially enjoyed our waiter for all our dinners. he was awesome! Food was good. Desserts were fairly ...
An Alaskan cruise was always on our bucket list, and decided to go for our 30th Anniversary We invited any friends and family that were interested in going and ended up with a group of 13. Of that group 7 were first time cruisers. They all absolutely loved it. Those of us that had something to compare it to were a bit disappointed. We’ve always looked forward to the entertainment at night, and ...
We chose Princess due to the Glacier Bay itinerary, for its amenities - 24 hour free room service, numerous choices for food inclusive in price, and for the long history Princess has with Alaskan cruises. We were in a group of 8 couples ages 40’s - 50’s and Holland America seemed to be more geared to an older crowd. We had an amazing time! The best we’ve ever had on a cruise I think! The weather ...
Organized a trip (my second to Alaska) for a group of 8 ranging in age from 16 to 80: Two teens, five adults, one senior. This trip was perfect for our family. We found a lot to do together and some alone time. Ship was big, but never felt crowded. We didn't really connect with any staff, but that's not what we were looking for. All the staff was professional and welcoming. Programming had a lot ...
My sister and I decided we needed to visit Alaska and thought a cruise would be the best place to start. Based on other recommendations, we chose Princess cruise line and we had a great time. There were times where we really didn't know what to expect, but that's sometimes fun when on vacation. Princess staff takes care of the details and we just went with the flow.
We made sure to get a ...
We chose this trip because of the dates, the itinerary and because it was round trip from Seattle. My sister and I have little cruise experience, so we weren't sure what to expect. The ship is beautiful and well kept. The itinerary was perfect (although looking back would have liked a shorter time in Skagway and a longer time in Ketchikan).
We arrived the day before embarkation and stayed at ...
Celebrating our parents 50th wedding anniversary. We had so much fun. The staff and crew were fantastic. Hardworking and deserve every penny earned, if not more.
Bravo to Princess for treating their employees the best out of all cruise lines!!! It takes a great management team to understand the value of happy employees. Forward thinking, nice work!
Our room was spectacular. We were ...
