2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

This was our second cruise, with the first being with Norwegian. The disembarkation process was excellent. We were assigned a color and number (Pink 3) based on our desired disembarkation time (we chose 9-9.30). We could not hear the speaker calling our ticket so we could go to the gangway. We happened to hear them announce that all tickets had been called (this was at about 8.30), and we were ...

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We are in our late 60s and love cruising. We usually go to be on the ship and not for the ports. As a result, we seldom book excursions. Alaska and Hawaii are the exceptions. Europe would be an exception if we went there but so far, no go. We are on a fixed income, located near the west coast and by budgeting carefully and shopping for deals, we manage to take 2-3, 7-night or longer cruises a ...

10+ Cruises • Age 20s

BACKGROUND: I am 60 years old, and have cruised on dozens of ships. I was solo for this trip. It was my sixth cruise to Alaska and I was looking forward to a relaxing cruise. I was not disappointed! EMBARKATION/DISEMBARKATION: Both went smoothly. The disembarkation might have been the quickest ever. I had a delicious breakfast, disembarked, found my suitcase and was out the door in a matter of ...

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

My husband and I usually cruise on small luxury lines like SS, Seabourn, or Regent. I signed up for this one-week cruise because it was sponsored by a group I am interested in, with group seminars on board on sea days. I was a bit nervous going "down" in service level from a small luxury line to a bigmainstream ship, so I booked a spacious Neptune suite with a bathtub and a big balcony and a ...

Flew to Seattle the day before the cruise and stayed in Pioneer Square. A few homeless around, but the cafes and restaurants around were open late and accommodating. Our hotel had a more than continental breakfast so we ate their prior to calling an Uber to take us to Pier 91. We arrived with our party of 9 around 11:15 am and were called to board prior to noon. By 12:15 we were in the main ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

This was our first exciting cruise to Alaska and we opted for the inner passage. Decision was made to start from Seattle because our friends were there, could have started from Vancouver and saved a sea-day. Ports of call: - Juneau, was surprisingly small for us. Booked a shore excursion to view the whales and was not disappointed. Coach to a smaller port where we boarded a 50-60 ...

Flew to Seattle the day before the cruise and stayed at the Marriott Waterfront which was nice and convenient. Hotel arranged a shuttle to the terminal the next day. Very easy embarkation due to the fact that you can carry on your own bags if you wish and that saves waiting around for your suitcases to arrive at your room. Ship was very well maintained and our room on the fifth deck was ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s

We were first time cruisers and not sure of what to expect but we had always heard about incredible food and top-of-the-line service. We didn't experience either. The food was mediocre and room service took a minimum of 45 minutes, when the food arrived.. it was cold and far less quality than what was in the dining room, and that's not saying much. The restaurants, however, were great! The ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

Since this was my first cruise and my wife and I were sort of celebrating my 65th birthday during the cruise. Service in the Lido Dining room was good however the portions were sort of small and if you wanted soda with meals they cost extra. And at every place you could get a soda they have to put it in a glass instead of giving you the can. Cabin steward told us when we got on that we ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 20s

We have been to Alaska before on a land trip, so we did not feel the need to do many excursions. What we did need was a relaxing trip, beautiful scenery, and everything taken care of by someone else. In that respect, the trip was a big success. We took the train from Portland, where we live, to Seattle and spent the night at the Maxwell Hotel which had a good pre-cruise special. We are ...
