This was the third Alaska cruise that I have taken with Princess Cruises. We were on the Crown Princess on the Lido deck. We cruised with my parents and Adult children. My parents and my husband and I had no problems with our room but our kids room was ‘broken’. The a/c didn’t work, after 2 days of trying to fix it they gave them a fan. Carpet coming off of wall, gross stuff growing on the balcony ...
We chose this cruise as it was offered to us at a deeply discounted price. We live in Tennessee. We flew to Seattle and stayed the night at the Crown Plaza near the airport. The next morning we went back to the airport and took a Princess bus to Vancouver.
Took us about an hour to get on ship from the time we got off the bus. Our room was ready and our luggage arrived shortly after.

We chose this cruise because of the wonderful ports of call in AK and CAN. We ended up with fantastic weather which made the cruise even better. We had extended time in most of the ports of call. Our favorites were Juneau, Ketchikan, and Victoria. Icy Strait Point does not offer a lot if not doing an excursion. The town of Hoonah is close by, but transportation there and back was challenging (no ...
I was on Diamond Princess about 12 years ago in Australia/NZ and was completely unimpressed - I thought the food and service was awful overall. Now that I'm retired and traveling more, I wanted to give Princess another try. I've changed a lot in 12 years, and I thought Princess might be different too. I'm very glad I did. I realize the review below spends more time on negatives, but I wanted to ...
The Alaska cruise was amazing! The excursions that Crown Princess offered were well worth the money. For example, we went right up to the glazier and was amazed out how beautiful and large it was and we also took another boat tour and were able to see killer whales, gray whales, sea otters and sea lions. Wow! That was an incredible experience! The brown bear sanctuary was an eye opener along with ...
This was my 10th cruise, but my first on Princess, my first ever visit to Alaska and the first cruise that didn’t require air travel (which also typically requires a day or two of hotel on each side as well). It was also my first non-warm weather cruise. Seven of my previous nine cruises were on Carnival, one was on NCL and one was on Louis in Greece.
Overall, the cruise was very nice. Like ...
4 generations of our family flew to Los Angeles from BC for a week in Disneyland. This cruise brought us home with amazing stops in San Francisco, Astoria and Victoria. We intended to use the cruise to recover from Disneyland but found that there was just too much to do on the ship and in port. We enjoyed one formal night which gave the little ones a chance to dress as a little gentleman (3 year ...
First cruise on Princess (all prior cruise experience has been Holland America). I was asked to accompany my sister and her husband on their first-ever cruise (they picked this one). Pacific Coastal cruise San Diego/San Francisco/Astoria, OR/Victoria/Vancouver, BC.
I understand that for security reasons my full legal name - as on my Passport, etc. - must be available to Princess for TSA ...
We chose this cruise because we live in Southern CA and it was less travel to be on a cruise. We haven't gone for a number of years, for obvious reasons, and looked forward to the days at sea, port activities, and the destinations. The first afternoon on the ship, we went to the "app" to get dinner reservations for that night and found out that we did NOT have dinner (table or time) for the entire ...
I choose this cruise because of my 87 year old aunt, someone in her age group told her that they like Princess and that’s the one they use. There were issues from the time we made it to embarkment, it was a disaster the lines were wrapped around and issues with having enough porters to handle the luggage. Once aboard the ship, the steward assigned to our room introduced herself and I explained to ...
