After my wife's first experience cruising 20 years ago, this was something I had always wanted to do. So, this year, we pulled the trigger. What a lovely experience! The staff, waiters, bartenders all stood out as part of the best of the experience and part of our fondest memories. A tropical storm developed into a Category 2 Hurricane directly in our cruising path. But, because of the ...
We have been on four cruises, all with Grandeur of the Seas. We like the crew and staff and the ship is just the right size for us. The staterooms are very nice, and clean and the staff really take pride in taking care of the rooms. The chefs and staff in the Great Gatsby go overboard (pun intended) to make sure that we had the best experience possible.
We loved the variety of menu options and ...
We are a married couple who have cruised for a few years- Celebrity, P&O and MSC so far.
We choose this cruise for the itinerary and the stay in San Francisco.
We are from the U.K.
After a long flight we stayed up to see the 4th July Fireworks.
Stayed in a hotel down at Fisherman’s Wharf for one night.
Had a great morning walking through a very quiet San Fran, got the tram and ...
Chose the Coral Princess as it was the smallest among the other Princess ships going to Alaska and it didn't disappoint. This was our 1st cruise and I have never been so pampered in all my life. The weather could have been better when we were in the Inside Passage but that isn't Princess's fault. Loved our balcony cabin. Yes it's small but we knew that. Our steward Jorge was phenomenal. We ...
Great Baltic itinerary with 2 days in Russia.
It is a clean ship, staff aimed to please. Embarkation & disembarkation was smooth. The bartenders were great esp Ramona in deck 6 & Andy in deck 15. They deserve to receive extra tips! Guest relations was accommodating. I enjioyed Burn the Floor & Rock of Ages. Also the Howelling moon dueling piano & the music at Syd Norman’s. The acoustic singer ...
We did quite a bit of research in selecting our Baltic Sea cruise because we are not frequent big ship cruisers. We chose Princess over several other lines because it seemed to offer more of what appealed to us. We are a mature couple who enjoy a little special treatment, a variety of shows, and a quiet place to relax at times. We chose a Mini Suite that included Club Class dining privileges, ...
We like cooler weather in the summer and we wanted to try vacationing outside of the U.S. for the first time. This cruise was perfect for us!
We did find the huge Breakaway quite crowded, but the staff took good care of us and managed any sudden crowding well. We mostly like to keep to ourselves, but really enjoyed swapping excursion stories with families from other countries. We had the truly ...
This was our first ever cruise, so I write this with the upfront disclaimer that we have nothing to compare it to other than non-cruise vacations. We can, however, tell you some things our research didn't uncover that we'd have liked to know in advance and other first-timers might appreciate.
We chose this specific cruise because: (a) the itinerary covered all of the ports we wanted to visit; ...
We took the southbound voyage from Whittier to Vancouver. Flying into Anchorage is a treat as you fly over snow capped mountains as far as the eye can see. The journey from Anchorage airport to the port town of Whittier is unique. Your coach is given a "tunnel time", an exact time in which to enter the 2 1/2 mile tunnel that was blasted through the mountain near Whittier. It felt like this was an ...
We did a tour package with 6 days on land, Fairbanks, Denali Lodge, and McKinley Lodge before and everything was so well organized. your bags in your room when you arrive at the lodges with no check ins. The cruise went very well, too, wonderful narration of the glacier passes that you could hear in your room or on deck. The ship is very good, except lacking the international café for 24 hour ...
