We chose Princess Cruise to Alaska because of their reputation and presence in that area. We found our mini suite to be clean and comfortable with ample room for the two of us. The Bordeaux dining room was very pleasant, the service first rate and the food was excellent making dinner each evening a real treat. There was more than enough to do on board, we particularly enjoyed the evening ...
My husband and I have talked with my brother and sister-in-law about taking an Alaskan Cruise for 25 years and finally had the opportunity to take one on 8/19/18. Although my husband was a little sad he didn't get to see any bears, the cruise was everything I hoped it would be! We went on fun excursions and enjoyed relaxing on the cruise ship as well.
Our Cabin Steward, Eduardo, was so ...
TRIP REPORT
EMERALD PRINCESS
SEATTLE ALASKA RETURN
AUGUST 19-26-2018
This voyage is a long anticipated high school friend’s reunion, leaving our dear families at home. I ventured off to enjoy my 31st cruise (My Baskin Robbin’s Cruise - get it!?) and my friends, were on their very first cruise!
Although we live in Canadian cities, we chose a Seattle departure and an ...
We chose this cruise because my Girlfriend never sailed to Alaska. i have been three times before. i knew i made the right decision. i have never sailed Princess cruise lines and i was a little bit uneasy but i went with them.
The price was very competitive, We got a MINI SUITE fabulous accomodations. The view from the private balcony was outstanding. i can still see the whales frolicking ...
Embarkation and disembarkation on the Emerald was the quickest and smoothest we have ever had.
Ship was clean and enjoyable!
Our cabin steward, Winston, was a dream come true, If we needed anything, Winston was easy to find and if we needed anything, he would stop what he was doing to accommodate us.
Dining, perfect staff! Arkadvsz Przybyl (Archie), head waiter, along with Jayson and ...
Me and my wife enjoyed the north Europe Princess Cruise last year.
This year my wife pushed me to book the Alaska Cruise together with our friends.
And we experienced a successful trip as a result.
First of all, we were blessed by the perfect weather conditions all the way.
Secondly I think we met super chef who prepared such quality food for each dinner time.
So we could enjoy nice ...
We chose Princess based on friends who had cruised w/ Princess and the Ruby because of the Itinerary.
Ruby Princess ship was beautiful, up-to-date, and very, very clean. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Food was second to none. Have cruised Royal Caribbean before, Princess food was superior in every aspect. Quantity, presentation, service, taste, and menu!
Entertainment was good. ...
This was the best cruise for our money, destination, and family. We wanted a family-friendly cruise that went through Glacier Bay which the flashier Royal Caribbean did not do. My oldest made a bee-line to the kid's club every chance he got and loved it. My youngest liked it but also enjoyed staying with us and watching for whales or checking out the treats at the International Cafe. We have ...
First of all, take an Alaskan cruise. The inside passage through Glacier Bay NP was phenomenal, and we loved everything about our time in Alaska. But consider a different cruise line. We sailed with Royal Caribbean in the past, and in comparison, Princess is really missing the mark...
The positives:
1. Excellent staff: all of the staff were extremely attentive and hard working. We were ...
This was our first Alaska cruise on Ruby Princess. We have set a high expectation of this cruise based on the past reviews we had read on Cruise Critic and other website. Our flight to Seattle went smoothly. Transfer from Airport to Pier 91 was worth money we spent. Embarkation process was well organized and we were on the ship by about 12:00 Noon. Our balcony cabin was well appointed and ...
