Price for a turnaround Alaskan cruise was really inexpensive. You see same ports but different glaciers. Obstructed ocean view cabin is clean and comfortable. I just wish Princess would clean the outside windows. The new Alaskan menu in the dining room is excellent if you like fish/ seafood. 3 production shows good, comedians horrible. The naturalist onboard gave informative lectures but the ...
Have done this itinerary before on the NCL Encore , Bliss and Jewel. Last time on the Encore, in 2021, ship capacity was held down to about 60%. This time it was at 100% or more. I was expecting crowding, and that was certainly the case. The main choke points were at the elevators and in the buffet. If you are able to take the stairs, which we mostly were not, you can get where you are going ...
Always a pleasure to visit Seattle, WA!
As for the Bliss, we enjoyed our Club Balcony Cabin - plenty of room with large bathroom & tub. Just wish we had at least gone up to deck 10 when choosing our cabins. The kids and their mates had balcony cabins on Deck 9 also.
Really liked the Observation Deck and the bar service there was excellent. You can see all around the ship (both sides and ...
Princess has a great Reputation in Alaska. Waiter, and Dining Room Staff did an excellent job. We talked with a Restaurant Manager shortly after boarding and he gave us a great seat by the window in the Aft Dining Room Allegro. We were seated on the far right down the Waiter Isle. Off to the left. We usually always have good service by Cruise waitstaff on our cruises, but these Fellows were the ...
This was our 7th Celebrity cruise, but the first since 2017 due to you-know-what-global-disaster. A couple of weeks before departure I ventured back to Cruise Critic and read so much doom and gloom about how bad Celebrity has become, and all the loyal passengers moving to better and more luxurious lines etc etc. I understand this particular demographic and their mindset, but it was a little ...
We had been planning a cruise tour and my brother booked this one, so it was similar to what we were looking at. Our room stewards were excellent. There was plenty of activities to keep you going if you wanted. We had sprinkles or rain most days but still had great views. New York pizza was very good. Also the fries at Dive In, just really good. Pinnacle Grill, filet was excellent along with ...
DO NOT LET NORWEGIAN BOOK YOUR FLIGHTS TO AND FROM YOUR CRUISE
Norwegian will offer you their free at sea package and then claim that the flights are buy one and get the 2nd persons flight free. Its a lie. They will charge you more than twice what one persons flight actually costs and god forbid if you miss a connection through no fault of your own, of course the airline will refund your ticket ...
We sailed from Vancouver on August 27, and as other reviews have mentioned, the embarkation process is a complete mess. With 3 ships in port there was upwards of 7,000 passengers all snaking thru the same line and it took us almost 2 hours to board. Someone definitely needs to look at this process. We’ve had 8 cruises in total and have never gone thru something like this! Being from Vancouver, I’m ...
Unfortunately the official survey sent by the cruise line focused mostly on the staff, but I have a few other things to mention. The luggage took 6 hours to get to the cabin, although my check in was the earliest. Meals could be slow in the main dining room. One night it took an hour and a half to get our entrees. Dinner in the Murano, a specialty restaurant, was very good, but certainly not ...
I just had the time of my life on a Majestic Princess Cruise Tour to Alaska. I admit my cruising experience is limited, having taken one deplorable Bahamian Carnival cruise in the early 1990's, but I think thought Majestic Princess was elegant, our balcony stateroom was plenty roomy for our needs and the staff, even this late in the season, were friendly and accommodating, and some were downright ...
