Nice ship - food and entertainment need serious upgrading

Review for a Alaska Cruise on Royal Princess

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

This was our first cruise since the restart after covid. As platinum cruisers with Princess this was not our first trip by any means and we were interested to compare the before and after. Royal was bigger than the ships we had cruised previously so we had some expectations of crowding which wasn't really an issue for the most part. Bar and Atrium entertainers were great but the main ...

We have travelled with Celebrity several times and always found it to outstanding. Unfortunately we did a back to back sailing from Vancouver to Alaska and then back to Vancouver. The second leg of our trip was most disappointing. There were changes of crew in Alaska, who weren't as polite or friendly as those on the northbound trip. On both north and southbound trips the food in the ...

We got quite a bumpy start,,, our first stop in Alaska before heading to Japan was cancelled. I was really looking foward to see the inside passage and Ketchikan. That stop has been replaced by a stop at Victoria, beautifull city. We did an unplaned 12 hrs pit stop for fuel??? at Dutch Harbor in the Aleutians with interdiction to go ashore, grrr. But we been blessed by the sight of many dozens of ...

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

Having been away from Alaska since 2018, we were excited to travel north aboard CROWN princess for an 11-night adventure. We last sailed on CROWN to the Caribbean in 2018. We recall that cruise event as having the best food/service in all the Princess fleet we had ever experienced. Not to be the situation this time. EMBARKATION: Went well. Well organized at Canada Place, Vancouver. The ...

Is NCL Slipping?

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

When it came time to book our very first cruise, we researched everything we could...dining options, entertainment, onboard amenities, itineraries...and we decided that NCL offered what we wanted. Freestyle dining? Yes please! Wide range of entertainment including Broadway shows? Heck yeah! Interesting itineraries? Yep, lots to choose from. Sadly, much of what led us to NCL is no longer ...

I chose this trip specifically because I am passionate about nature, specifically bears. It's one of my dreams to see a spirit bear in person, and that's why this trip stood out to me. Cliff note summary here if you don't want to read the entire review: ship/crew/food was excellent, activities and wildlife viewing was not. Pre-boarding communication wasn't great. We were supposed to receive a ...

10+ Cruises • Age 50s

We choose this cruise due to the fact we live in Vancouver and wanted to walk on our cruise. This was our 5th Celebrity cruise and we were unfortunately disappointed. The common rooms ( bars , restaurants, lounges ) were very dark and lacking in quality service. Cafe Al bacio seldom had seats available. No drink service provided in the solarium. Likewise , the passport bar was always full and we ...

Nice ship, but not impressed with the cruise at all

I preface this review by mentioning that after 3 + years of avoiding COVID, I finally caught it bad on this cruise. I will mention my suspicion’s; take them what what they’re worth. The cruise itinerary in itself isn’t terribly impressive. For a first time Alaska cruiser I wanted more than we got from Sitka, Juneau, Icy Strait Point, Ketchikan and Victoria. The stops in each location were really ...

We selected this cruise for my sons 40th birthday celebration. This was my 4th Alaskan cruise. Twice on Celebrity and once on Princess. Overall we have cruised perhaps 15 to 20 times, first off the on boarding process was actually very good, lines were minimal and staff friendly. The cabin wasn’t available until after 3pm so that wasn’t so good. But the cabin was very nice, loved the large shower. ...

This was our 2nd time on this exact ship and itinerary. We took it a 2nd time because we had a cruise credit which had to be used, and it was convenient for us. We really enjoyed the Dawes Glacier experience (turning that big ship around in the middle of a Fjord; no easy trick) as well as Zip-Lining Grizzly Falls and the Bering Sea Crab Fisherman's Tour! The OnBoard experience was a very ...
