We did the Inside Passage trip. We chose this trip mainly because of Glacier Bay and this one location made the whole trip worth it. Overall, the scenery and wildlife on this trip cannot be beat. However, I was very disappointed in the organization and planning of this trip. For as expensive as this trip is, I do believe that the customers deserve more.
The trip started in Sitka. The transport ...
I wanted to escape the heat and stay in the USA. I thought it would be safer. This is a crummy, cheap company and they get away with it because their repeat clientele knows no better. They say they have wi-fi. Don’t believe it. Not enough bandwidth to download anything. No decent films. They have DVDs that are antiques and I had no player. When people contracted COVID, they took too long to tell ...
Our family of eight, two of whom are physicians, took an Alaskan cruise with American Cruise Lines on the American Constellation from Juneau, Alaska starting July 4, 2021. We were told that all passengers would be vaccinated, and we were led to believe that all crew would also be vaccinated for COVID-19. However, while we were tested prior to boarding, passenger vaccination status was never ...
American cruise lines is dishonest. Oh my companion and I were on the cruise that was cut short bye covid 19. There were many problems on the cruise that were creating disappointment I had discussed among the passengers before the cruise was abruptly cut short by an announcement that four members of the crew had tested positive for COVID-19. How we were treated from that moment on until we were ...
I have held off submitting this review to get a bit of perspective and to wait for the cruise line’s response to the unacceptable conditions under which we cruised on the Admiralty Dream ship in June. Alaskan Dream advertises a small ship experience with lots of wildlife, excellent food, native and Forest Service speakers and zodiac excursions.
Unfortunately, the five night sailing we took ...
I am new to expedition cruises, but I will be watching for them in the future! We did the inside passage in Alaska. And the difference in what a big cruiser experiences and what we experienced is amazing! We saw great wildlife in addition to amazing, majestic views. We could kayak off the back of the boat. We saw zillions of sea lions sunbathing on rocks. Otters floating by with babies. Black ...
Chef was new onboard and not up to par with our previous experience with American Cruiselines. The wait staff worked double hard being short staffed. The Assistant Guest Services person, Andy, went above and beyond to take care of the passengers. The Cruise Director Tiara and Excursion Director Kinzie weren't as helpful as we've had in the past. Meagan with Guest Services was excellent - the most ...
TLDR: Based on our experience on this UnCruise we put a down payment on a future cruise.
We had an absolutely amazing trip aboard the Wilderness Discoverer on our Glacier Bay National Park Adventure. One morning, while eating breakfast, "Orcas off the port bow" blared over the intercom. The cafeteria cleared out, the captain slowed down, and just about everyone on board spent the next 15 ...
I booked this last minute because they were the only one to do Alaska cruises during covid. For my wife and I it was over $22000 for a not so great room. The food was poor the service was terrible. After 3 nights we were told they were cancelling the cruise because a couple of crew and a couple of passengers had covid. We sat in our rooms for a day and then had to get off the ship. We had to ...
We had a 9 day cruise with Alaskan Dream Cruises in 2013 which was exquisite - a 9 out of10. If we had not had that experience as a comparison we might have rated this current cruise higher. But, unfortunately they have slipped a notch or two. Maybe now a 7 out of 10 - not bad, but not the wonderful experience we had in 2013.
The crew are still very friendly and helpful. The captain still ...
