Alaska was always on my husband's bucket list and with our recent retirement we were really looking forward to an active, exciting and relaxing experience.
When we first boarded the ship in Vancouver, the agent asked for our credit card for onboard expenses. The Amex card we asked that they use was not the same number as the Amex card we initially used almost a year ago but was a replacement ...
Our daughter chose this particular cruise for a 3-generation family celebration of my husband's and my 50th wedding anniversary. She was looking for something family friendly, relatively affordable, a specific time frame, and a destination that was new to everyone in our well-traveled family. The Voyage of the Glaciers on the Coral Princess met all our requirements.
We arrived in Vancouver the ...
We chose an Alaskan Land & Cruise Package. We did the land portion first, which was good because that was more strenuous. We boarded the ship in Anchorage & sailed to Vancouver. The first 2 days were spent on the ship as we viewed the glaciers. The next 3 days we were in 3 ports (Skagway, Juneau & Ketchikan). Last full day was at sea. The ship was well-maintained & appointed. Our balcony cabin was ...
Overall, the Alaska experience was excellent. Our land portion started in Anchorage, followed by two one nights at Princess rustic lodges. The highlight of this portion was the 5 hour Denali tour.
After a pleasant and comfortable domed train to Whittier, we boarded Coral for the one week southbound cruise. On our second sea day, while enjoying the glacier experience, the aft located ...
We chose Princess because we wanted to go Direct to the Wilderness to Alaska from Vancouver. Upgrades were part of the incentives at the time of our booking. Sure enough about 1 1/2 weeks before our sail date we were upgraded to balcony rooms (we were 3 couples, linked together). Our room steward unlocked the doors between us and we were able to hang out together easily! It was the best thing ...
We have cruised many times in the past and first time on Princess. We were on the Coral Princess out of Vancouver. We loved spending some time in Vancouver which is a beautiful city. Embarkation and disembarkation were efficient and well organized. The ship was nice and I believe was reconditioned in recent years. It was very clean with many nice public areas. Cleanliness on the ship was ...
I selected this cruise for the itinerary. I thought Princess also had a good reputation. I was told they had been doing AK cruises longer than the other lines. We could not have been more disappointed in Princess.
My family of 4 spent a lot of money to go on this land/cruise tour. Alaska was awesome and I cannot wait to go back. I will NEVER give Princess another dime of my money. To sum ...
We have cruised with Princess before and loved the experience, we were disappointed with the suite. We had a wonderful time and plan to cruise with Princess again. We are hoping the next time will be better. Our wait staff in the dining room was very accommodating and treated us like royalty. We enjoyed Sabatini’s very much! We reported problems with our suite but the problems were never ...
Alaska was the 50th state to visit. The Coral Princess was a perfect size ship. We also like the itinerary and number of days for the cruise and land tour. Our cabin was very nice and clean and our steward, Toffy, was very attentive. We chose the early seating for dining which was perfect. Our wait staff, Gary and his assistant, were wonderful and remembered what we had ordered from previous ...
The Princess cruise was our friend's suggestion, and the six of us were totally happy with it - we all had a wonderful, memorable time!
I was happily surprised at the crew and staff's friendliness and helpfulness.
The food, sights, entertainment, and everything else were excellent. The only fault I noticed was a door latch that needed some attention on the top, outside deck. This is a ...
