To begin, we love Norwegian. They are great. This past trip was not. We chose this trip because entry requirements back into the US were still highly restricted at the time we picked it and since the ship would be leaving and returning in the US, it was easier. Also, the original itinerary had limited at sea days. Several itinerary changes later and we essentially spent every day on the ...
Regent Alaska review
Short take - Alaska gorgeous, ship lovely - cabin excellent, bed wonderful, service excellent. Crew professional and friendly. Food excellent. Denali pre-cruise poor value - disappointing. Administrative contacts with Regent office unhelpful and annoying,
Ship and cruise portion of trip
Ship Immaculate
Cabin concierge level. Was roomy, comfortable. Bed ...
Had somewhat chosen this cruise as a last minute adventure, as some much needed work was being done in our condo that made it required to find a quick and easy getaway. And we figured as we are top tier status with Princess (Elite/Platinum) we had high expectations as we had frequently travelled with Princess. But sadly we were very wrong, as the Crown Princess is in serious need of not only some ...
I can say amazing, but that word means so many things to people. Here's what it means to me and why this cruise was absolutely amazing for me:
- surrounded by incredible views from anywhere on the ship. From watching whales on our balcony, otter seals swimming by that looked like they were waving, sunsets and majestic mountains and glaciers - it was like sailing in paradise.
- outstanding ...
We have cruised on Celebrity, Carnival and Norwegian and this was by far the worst ship and most poorly managed cruise yet.
After we booked and paid, we were then sent the notice that the ship was having engine troubles and therefore one of the listed ports was eliminated and the time in the existing ports were being cut down to a few ours instead of all day. This is a classic bait and switch ...
We boarded Solstice with a group and looked forward to an amazing trip. While Alaska was fantastic, the ship was hardly adequate and there was little concern about service and food. We should have known it was an omen when we checked in at the pier for our Concierge Suite. The kid checking us in knew little about how to go about it. He NEVER asked for our negative Covid test and when I asked if he ...
We were excited to go back to Alaska and visit new ports. Icy Straight Point was a great place. We loved being able to walk through the forest up to the shopping. Prince Rupert was OK - not really anything to do if you don't take an excursion. If they want to make this a more permanent port they need to put in more tourist shops. But the Fire Dept Museum and nice and I was able to get a ...
We had so much fun taking Princess North to Alaska again. Star, Grand, now the Ruby has taken us to visit popular ports of call in Alaska. Due to covid our ship was not full. Almost full but not entirely. Sailing 07/22. I am not sure if capacity was limited due to staff availability or simply not enough staff ready to get to full levels. My DW and I are vaccinated (not boosted). We got vaccinated ...
This was the fourth cruise on Celebrity for my wife and me. We have been on this class of ship each time with Celebrity and like the cabins, ship amenities, and size. This was our second cruise with Celebrity this year after a Caribbean cruise in the spring. I had previously done the Alaska itinerary, but it was the first time for my wife. Due to the summer timing of this cruise, the ship had ...
We chose this cruise to take our adult grand children to Alaska. They seemed to endure it as it was their first cruise ever. We, on the other hand, have cruised with Princess 9 times previously. This cruise was a complete disaster for us. We were charged for drinks we DID NOT ORDER; Waited over 45 minutes to have our order take in two of the seated area restaurants; drink orders, when we received ...
