I chose this cruise due to what seemed like a great price without the 100% single supplement that Princess usually charges. My cruise was 14 nights in duration, not 7 nights, so leaving Vancouver and returning home at the end.
My criticisms are mostly to do with all of the hassles prior to the cruise, plus of course the unilateral policy changes after I had already bought my ticket. It seems as ...
I just had the time of my life on a Majestic Princess Cruise Tour to Alaska. I admit my cruising experience is limited, having taken one deplorable Bahamian Carnival cruise in the early 1990's, but I think thought Majestic Princess was elegant, our balcony stateroom was plenty roomy for our needs and the staff, even this late in the season, were friendly and accommodating, and some were downright ...
The itinerary was shortened at two ports: Ketchikan and Victoria. Apparently to accommodate other ships. Victoria excursion came so late on the last day that it was virtually useless. Entertainment was below average overall. Music was often too loud in the midship plaza area which made conversation impossible. Food was OK but not as good as Celebrity or Royal Caribbean. Seating in the buffet ...
I am impressed with Princess. We sailed on the Enchanted Princess in February and just did the Majestic Princess in a 12 day Land/Sea cruise. Ships are almost identical. Everything was great--good food in the dining room and buffet, good comedians, great Enclave spa, good ports, no trouble disembarking or embarking, great bartenders, great room steward, etc. We especially liked the Medallion. ...
My wife and I had done Alaska about 15 years before and loved it so we decided to return. We flew in the night before and stayed at the Blue Horizon on Robison St. It was one of the more reasonable places to stay and there are lots of restaurants nearby and a nice walk to Stanley Park or lots of shops. We took an Uber to the ship and the embarkation took some time but the line never stopped ...
The first 4 cruises with Princess were great. Then we did a Norwegian cruise in the Mediterranean and came back to Princess on an Alaskan cruise. If something could go wrong, it did. To start, there were no warnings that covid was present on board, so we did not take the proper precautions and we both caught covid halfway thru the 11 day cruise. We brought two covid tests with us...just in ...
This was our first cruise on Princess. We have sailed with Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity before. We were very excited to go on an 11 day Alaska Cruise!
Let's start with the Pros. Main dining room food was excellent, drinks and specialty cocktails were delicious and the itinerary was wonderful. Big production shows were outstanding and I was able to perform the last night in the Voice ...
We wanted to tour Alaska and this 7 day, 6 night cruise showed interesting ports. What we didn't understand was that out of 7 days, there were only 3 port days (except for the day we embarked and disembarked. Two of those 3 port days, we had to return to the ship by 3:30-4:00, leaving so little time to schedule any interesting excursions.
The ship was clean, the pool area nice, the food ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. We went from Vancouver, BC to Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, and Whittier in the cruise portion of the trip. In Ketchikan we did the Aleutian Ballad and the tour operators were very knowledgeable and informative. They are/were actual Bearing Sea crab fishermen. It was a great tour. In Juneau we chose a combination Mendenhall Glacier hike/Whale watch ...

Ok, now for the bad, there is no bad! all nice and good. we liked the Alaska stops. ...
