Alaska Family Cruises Reviews

I chose this cruise for the region and Princess Cruise Line which I have cruised on in Alaska, Caribbean, and Mediterranean. The service and food on the past cruises were very good to excellent. This cruise has been a poor experience on the boat. The food in the dining room has not been very good and service was very slow. I visited the Explorer Lounge twice and had to go to bar to have someone ...

My husband and I chose this cruise to mark one of our dreams off our bucket list. We are in our late 50s and definitely felt like youngsters on this cruise. The service was fantastic and our Veranda room was nice. Food was the same inside the "buffet" as the dining room. Every day it was nearly the exact same menu with the exception of meats, soups and desserts. Delicious egg rolls and chicken ...

Originally we were to sail in May 2020, but rescheduled to May 2022. We chose the cruise for the ports. We spent a week in London and Southampton prior to the cruise. and due to the Jubilee, we were glad we did. First the good: unlike other reviews I’ve read, embarkation procedures were pretty organized. Through the Medallion app, I was able to get us to the green lane for boarding. (Weeks ...

Ports visited on the scheduled route is why we chose this cruise and never cruised on Princess so thought it would be of a higher standard. We were disappointed with several aspects including tendering in 3 ports which took away an hour on either end of touring and the ports were not near the attractions or cities of interest. The food was mediocre. Overall it was not bad but not worth the price ...

Our second cruise with Princess and both in the same cabin, seven years apart. The ship looks well used, inside and out, though it still functions well, thanks to the efforts and boundless enthusiasm of the hardworking crew. The best place for us on this ship has always been the Piazza. It’s central and has good coffee and cakes for a morning graze whilst you get to watch the world go by, hence ...

After two years of no sailing, we book the B2B Alaska cruise to kick start our cruising experience again. Alaska, what beautiful scenery, this was our fourth B2B for Alaska, it is a little earlier in the season then the previous cruises, but this was perfect as there were snow covered mountain tops which provided a completely different photo opportunity and visual experience. Embarkation and ...

I’m not typically a complainer but…. My parents were with me on their 18th Princess cruise. I was on my 3rd Princess cruise. Previously cruised Royal Caribbean. Medallion app is horrible. Worked randomly. This cruise was horrible compared to past Princess cruises. Did not always unlock the cabin door. Buffet food seemed to be the same most days and was tasteless and dry. Drink orders ...

It seems odd when we heard someone say that this was their worst cruise ever and at the same time, I felt this one was one of the best cruise experiences I have ever had. We chose this cruise because we were going to go to different ports than we had gone to on past cruises. We had high seas that slowed the ship making it impossible to visit the first port, Icy Point. As compensation, Katchecan ...

This is our first time visiting Alaska. We also had a train/bus tour following the 7-day cruise. The ship was older, but clean and well managed. The service was good throughout the entire cruise. Ports of call were good. The train bus tour following the cruise was good as well. We had excellent motel accommodations on this leg of the journey. I have only one complaint. The boarding process was ...

Princess Cruises had a great reputation, and our travel agent recommended them for Alaska. Things didn't turn out as expected: 1. During the land portion of our trip to Alaska, we stayed in three different inns, one of which was the Mount McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge. We had many problems opening our room door with our room key at the lodge, for which we asked for assistance from hotel ...
