After doing months of research, I chose this cruise for my family to celebrate my dad's 90th birthday and for him to see the B.B. King show. Well, this cruise was a big disappointment. Before we even got to go onto the ship, I had to argue with one of the staff about getting (5) five wheelchairs for us. Then after that was finally settled and no, I only received 2 wheelchairs, we walked on board ...
hi all.
This was a 10 day cruise from vancover to hawailli as she goes to the land of the aussie. a good mix of people and we all were looking forward to a cruise cruise to an amazing place.
we arrived at the ship and were shocked at the state of the exterior of the ship, Rust, peeling paint around those once pretty blue window frames arouns the pool area. glass looked like it had not been ...
This was our 2nd cruise on Holland and 4th Alaska cruise. Last year we were on Royal Caribbean and were in and out of the glacier in an hour. This time we were there for several hours and got to within 1/3 of a mile of the glacier. Lost count of how many times the glacier calved in front of us. Weather for the cruised ranged from the roughest night I have ever had at sea the first night out to ...
We booked Aqua class, as had done several times before. Not worth it, and for much less, you get almost the same in other categories, like Veranda or Concierge.
Blu restaurant was always full, had to wait 15-20 minutes every evening, no matter what time we arrived. Breakfast is available between 7.30 and 9. Good but very slow. Seems they are short on personnel. Menu not as good as it used to ...
My wife and I are experienced cruisers. First cruise with NCL on a 14 day Cruise from Vancouver to Alaska return. The entertainment was excellent. The food quality in the Garden Buffet was very good. We went to the dining room on three occasions and found the food was below standard from what other cruise lines offer. The onion soup being served was poor. The salad was over dressed with salad ...
Spent far too much time and energy planning this cruise and cruise tour. The web site and app. is not user friendly and response time is hit and miss likely causing us to book our next cruise with another company. Otherwise I would have rated this cruise a solid 4, maybe even 5.
However, The logisistics and on board and on land service was excellent at all levels. This was our 2nd Alaska ...
I had traveled to Alaska with Holland America 10 years before. This time it was my wife, sister-in-law and myself. Fall can be tricky with weather going to Alaska, but we only had rain the first day in Juneau. By the next day the weather was mostly sunny, and our trip on the Yukon Pacific Railway shore excursion was the highlight of our trip. This is a MUST do if you take this trip. We hit ...
We have travelled with Celebrity several times and always found it to outstanding.
Unfortunately we did a back to back sailing from Vancouver to Alaska and then back to Vancouver.
The second leg of our trip was most disappointing. There were changes of crew in Alaska, who weren't as polite or friendly as those on the northbound trip.
On both north and southbound trips the food in the ...
We got quite a bumpy start,,, our first stop in Alaska before heading to Japan was cancelled. I was really looking foward to see the inside passage and Ketchikan. That stop has been replaced by a stop at Victoria, beautifull city. We did an unplaned 12 hrs pit stop for fuel??? at Dutch Harbor in the Aleutians with interdiction to go ashore, grrr. But we been blessed by the sight of many dozens of ...
