Princess kept their end of the bargain here - we went to every port scheduled, all the restaurants, bars, shows, casino and everything else they promised was delivered. I am giving this review as a guide to anyone else thinking of this itinerary.
First thing - the cruise tour package is stressful. There is a lot to get to see in a short time, and hopping from one to resort to another three ...
Wanted a great experience to Alaska after 9 Caribbean cruises with various cruise lines. Chose Princess and invited 6 first time cruisers to come with my wife and I. Princess transfers, Princess plus package, balcony rooms, and shore excursions all through Princess. I thought choosing Princess would be nicer than other Cruise lines, it isn't. Transfers on and off ship smooth, embarkation was ...
My husband and I went on this Alaska cruise as a celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary (which occurred in 2020, so it was actually our 53rd). We have been on other cruise lines; this was our first with Princess. We were so impressed with our trip that we wanted to share this information.
Our stateroom was very clean and spacious....and we loved our balcony! Great to have the balcony ...
We chose Princess for Alaska because we wanted to do land and sea; Denali and Glacier Bay National Park. Princess was impressively responsive in regards to assisting after flights got canceled.We had a mini suite room onboard and it was definitely the best cabin we have ever had - spacious with a beautiful balcony, which you 100% want for an Alaskan cruise if you can at all swing it.
On the ...
Since we are older, we wanted to take our children and grandchildren on a land tour of and cruise along Alaska. We chose the Sapphire Princess because it had a Grand Suite that could accommodate all 13 of us when we got together. We have sailed on various cruise lines and had different suites. The Grand Suite on the Sapphire Princess was far and away the best suite in which we have stayed. ...
I have wanted to go to Alaska for many years. This trip did not disappoint. We first took a 6 day land tour. The princess lodges were all beautiful, and the excursions so much fun. Our only issue was how expensive the food was in the lodge restaurants. $22 for what was the same kind you would have a nice hotel offer free seemed a little high.
We had only cruised Carnival before, so we weren't ...
We sailed Majestic in June 2023 on the Alaska southbound cruise. We chose this ship for its itinerary, wanting to see Glacier Bay (GB did not disappoint!!). Overall, it was an amazing vacation (as our naturalist Mark said, This is Alaska, This is Why You Came). First, the positives of the ship…excellent staff, great food (Catch by Rudi was by far the highlight meal of the week), the ship never ...
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary on this bucket list trip. We had sky high expectations and were not disappointed. This was our first time cruising on Princess and will definitely cruise with them again. Our itinerary took us to both great natural wonders at Hubbard Glacier and Glacier Bay National Park as well as fun adventures like dog sledding in Skagway and whale watching in Juneau. ...
First time cruiser. We did a pile of research and determined that Mrs. Cruiser and I wanted to be on Princess on the southbound sailing from Whittier through the Alaska Glaciers (Hubbard Glacier, Glacier Bay). We also stopped at Sitka (Skagway was closed), Juneau, and Ketchikan.
All in all, everything was done very well by Princess. Embarkation was very smooth, but in Whittier, there was no ...
We had taken the Inner Passage cruise in Alaska many years ago and always regretted not having gone to the interior, so this time we took the 7 day land tour before getting aboard the Grand Princess for the 7 day cruise back to Vancouver.
The Land Tour:
We started out in Fairbanks, where we enjoyed a train excursion to a gold dredge, where we panned for gold and I got enough gold to put ...
