Chose this cruise to see more of Alaska since covid postponed it so long and it was on my bucket list.We had 3 generations on this cruise and we all fell in love with Alaska and all would move there if it could be for 4-6 months!!Royal caribbean is def price cutting more with each cruise and unfortunately cruising no longer feels like what it used to and that is so sad.The long times in port and ...
With the assistance of our Travel Agent, we chose this cruise because of its value to length ratio. Where else could you get 12 nights in Alaska for such great prices. As I elaborate on the experience, keep in mind that our views and experiences are influenced by a large number of previous cruises on Princess, Holland America and others. This was our first time on Cunard--therefore we have zero ...
I always choose Cunard for their high standards of service and overall relaxing and quality experience. This one, a trip from Vancouver to Alaska generally followed that trend. There were a few things that we particularly loved and some that were not quite up to scratch...
The headline guest for the first few days was Bear Grylls-well what a disappointment. He did a couple of presentations ...
We have been cruising with Regent Seven Seas for years but wanted to try Silver Sea for this trip. The ship did not disappoint. While there are fewer suite options and the Muse is a very small ship, the number and variety of restaurants and service staff really made this a near equal with the super luxurious Regent ships. We were in Suite, which was a great location. Our butler and house ...
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 believe that the cruise industry as a whole has taken a don't ask, don't tell attitude regarding health of passengers and crew. We were on a 10 day Alaska cruise. Sickness seemed to be engulfing the ship and by disembarkation you could not escape it. I did an unofficial survey post cruise from a group Facebook page asking about those that became sick either on board or shortly thereafter. Of ...
I chose Baranof Dream cruises after some serious Google searching. As I’d never been to Alaska, or on a cruise/ship, I knew I wanted something small, casual, and laid back vs a shopping mall on a boat. I went on this trip solo, but never was alone as the staff and guests made me feel right at home from Day One.
Pros:
The excellent crew - everyone was amazing. Aside from the normal duties, ...
We chose this cruise because of the ports of call and weren’t disappointed. I love this size of ship, not overly crowded (except the elevators occasionally when everyone is trying to go to the same place at the same time). The staff (and most of the guests) seemed happy and were friendly. We also enjoyed all the entertainment around the ship. The headliner shows were fabulous and quality ...
