Prefacing this by saying I am exhausted, angry and disappointed. As someone that is a part of the service and hospitality industry, Princess fails in my eyes and while I rarely write negative reviews this one spilled out of me. There were a few positives, being the rare staff member who tried their best to help us. I will name them at the end to note their efforts, but first comes the long ...
We chose this cruise because of the dates. Everything and everyone was wonderful. The only fault we found was the condition of our cabin. The bathroom needed more attention to clean stains in the shower and toilet. There were stains on the bed cover so we just threw it off. We knew this was an older ship that had been refurbished. There was not enough late night entertainment. We are night people. ...
We choose this ship due to the time of departing Vancouver and returning. We had been on other Princess cruises and felt confident that Crown Princess would meet our satisfactions. The deals and specials were our liking also on this ship. We got our cruise through a travel agent. Vancouver not too far away we got parking at the ship terminal which cost us over $300. for 11 days. But very ...
We chose Princess Ruby because it sails from San Fransisco. We liked many activities and entertainment. But very disappointed that it has very limited Asian food that you can only find in buffet area. Even the limited Asian food tended to be Indian food or Tai food.
The bar quality are not consistent. Sometime are strong while other time are week. Coffee some time are stale while other times ...
Had lovely balcony mini suites for our travel group. Loved the food, good menus and the afternoon wine tasting was a fun activity. General ship management was consistent with Princess.
Took several excursions and each were worth the money. Zip lining in Ketchikan, Whale watching in Juneau, Train in Skagway were all fun family activities with teens. Victoria was hit and miss - plan to use a ...
It was recommended by our travel agency so I will try to be fair but also clear on my assessment.
Outstanding service and cleanliness all the employees were top notch with friendliness and helpfulness.
The food in the buffet was cheap and really poor quality the other restaurants on the ship were very good but beware the cost will stifle you to a point you will lower your view they of them ...
Decent cruise. Staff was polite, professional, and very helpful.
Ship itself was clean and well maintained.
Sometimes the elevators had a bit of a wait, but nothing horrible.
Long lines/wait for gelato. Food was ok. Not fantastic, but not bad. Hard to get reservations at the desired times - but we were able to tag into other cruise-mates reservations to make it work.

My husband, our 15-year-old son, and I all took an early August 7-day cruise from Vancouver, up the inside passage to Alaska, stopping in Glacier Bay. We then continued on with a 7-day Princess-organized land tour and followed that with 2 more nights on our own in Anchorage before heading home.
I chose Princess because I went to Alaska on Princess in 1989 and appreciated that they offered ...
Was uncertain at first about taking a cruise, but this seemed like a good way to see Alaska, and the Majestic hit the ports we were interested in. I thought the time spent in each port was suitable and allowed us to do the activities we were interested in. I actually LOVED the on board trivia & games (especially ACD Dave!!!! he is incredibly talented and I highly recommend looking for him as part ...
Royal Princess to Alaska Seattle round-trip was a great cruise. I went with a friend, her young son and her brother in early August. Embarkation was super easy, and I found the Blue Lane vs Green Lane to be a meaningless distinction, and picked up my medallion at the same desk as registration, and from getting out of the cab around 11am to being on board took less than 20 minutes.
