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 ...
This cruise was very well organized, especially embarkation when the crew directed us to our cabin right from the start. Our cabin was clean and well kept and peaceful. Having a room with a balcony was amazing because we could sit outside and enjoy the views, especially of the glaciers and the icebergs, and the wildlife. We enjoyed the dining experience from choices of food, to wait-staff, to ...
Loved Alaska and wanted to return. Chose Princess for the great kid's program! Princess is the best for Alaska. The berth locations were always close and convenient. The transfer from Anchorage to Whittier was more like a shore excursion with the driver being a native Alaskan and provided lots of great historical information and answered questions that we had about Alaska, Travel, Glaciers, ...
The scenery was great and met my expectations, the ship seems dated and could use a refresh, the food was inconsistent and of average quality, I will probably stick to other cruise lines if I have a choice.
Examples: morning pasteries seem like the cam direct from the factory not the oven. they were stale and basically tasteless. the procedure for delivering omelets to the table in the morning ...
After many years of thinking of doing a cruise we decided to do the Inside passage which was only 7 days long with a 4 day Alaskan land content after the cruise.
From the moment we embarked to the end of the land content everything was so well organised by Princess and everything went very smoothly.
We were found the Balcony cabin on deck 10 met our needs .
Our room steward was very ...
Land portion very well done. David Barger, tour director, was exceptional and always available and friendly. From the landing in Fairbanks till David departed our tour in Anchorage he was always available and more then willing to assist with any problems, questions and to impart knowledge of Alaska. He seemed to loves his job and it showed.There were pre-scheduled tours that gave us a true picture ...
We chose this ship for our Alaskan cruise. Ship is old and needs retired. No shows, except comedian, which was good. but Alaska was the reason for the trip. Trip was outstsnding!!! Glaciers and scenery were the highlights. Not much on ship. I wish we had no time at McKinley, nothing to do. Would have liked more time for excursion there and Anchorage. Most staff was outstanding. Effy staff was ...
Mother's day getaway. If you are planning to use the spa facilities, you will be surprised. They started charging for everything, even just to go into the steam room, the fee is about $65/hour. Even when you book a spa service, like a massage, they still don't let you use anything for free.
There were no shows in the evening, just a short production show one of the days, that was it. If you ...
I had always wanted to cruise to Alaska. The Coral Princess delivered the goods. Food was great. Staff were great. I enjoyed all the other cruisers that I met. There were excellent excursions to take. The on-board entertainment and events were varied so there was something to appeal to everyone.
I'd say the days of dressing for dinner on formal nights is disappearing. Some people did wear ...
We are seasoned cruisers (over 50) and probably have different expectations and reasons for cruising. This was our 8th trip to Alaska, so shore excursions were not a priority for us.
We embarked in Vancouver and all things considered, it went fairly well. No matter how you get to the terminal, everyone has to go through customs, perhaps for the second time if you flew in. It took about an ...
