Princess Alaska Cruise Reviews

We have been on several princess cruises to Alaska. They exact itinerary. Be aware, this ship does not go near the glacier, they want to sell you a $300 “up close” excursion. So when they say they go to glaciers it is a lie. The ship itself is a huge disappointment. Deck 7 is the only deck that allows you to walk the entire level—although none are outside. The medallion that opens ...

This was our 1st cruise and likely last! Our trip started and ended on less than pleasant vibe and for the $8k spent, I don't see why people cruise! We left out of Vancouver BC where 3 other ships were departing which means thousands of people to process in security so 4 hrs were spent in zigzag line. We were thirsty (no water source the entire time) and starving so we tried out the ...

We chose this cruise a Ruby status and we wanted to stick with Princess. Our previous cruises were fabulous. Our embarkation in Vancouver was a nightmare. We had a one o’clock boarding time, and due to Majestic arriving late, no one got to board until earliest 5:00. We had requested two twin beds, that was not done. I spent 15 minutes on guest services line (for suite passengers) to ask them ...

Have cruised with them 9 times previous. Shocking lack of cheerful, helpful employees. Expected service at least equal to prior cruises. Small stateroom amenities have always been a nice perk. Forgot shower cap, had to get one from front desk, same with extra washcloth. No omelette station at the buffet, only cold eggs (scrambled, sunny side up, etc.). Specialty restaurants low on staffing, ...

We chose this cruise because we live in Southern CA and it was less travel to be on a cruise. We haven't gone for a number of years, for obvious reasons, and looked forward to the days at sea, port activities, and the destinations. The first afternoon on the ship, we went to the "app" to get dinner reservations for that night and found out that we did NOT have dinner (table or time) for the entire ...

This was my 12 cruise on Princess and they have always been great. Some of the problems on this one were outside of Princess' control but there's no excuse for the cabin problems. The first day my cabin was cold but I'm not one to complain about things normally so I just let it go. Changing the temp on the thermostat didn't do anything. The evening of day one my TV went out. I suddenly ...

I chose this week long cruise to test Princess before taking a longer cruise in the fall. Immediately after the week was over I cancelled the longer trip. My “mini suite” was no larger than a regular balcony suite on Holland America. The water in the bathroom was scalding hot and they did nothing about it. Half of the public areas were so cold you had to wear a jacket or coat and there was ...

We have cruised with Princess more than 40 times. We chose this particular cruise to get back into sailing after the pandemic b/c it was out of Vancouver, which is relatively close to home, and also b/c it was longer than 7 days. It did not particularly leave me looking forward to my next cruise, although some of it was beyond Princess' control...like getting back to Vancouver 4 hours late and ...

We had taken an Alaskan cruise on Princess back in 2019 and wanted to take our grown children and their spouses on one because it was so wonderful. I had shared all my excitement with our kids and talked them into trying a Princess Cruise. I was embarrassed as to how this cruise came nowhere near lining up in any way with what I had promised them based on our previous one. Don't know if I'll take ...

I ,we are just a sailing or two away from becoming elite members. We have sailed Royal Caribbean a few times with families but have remained loyal to Princess over the years. We just returned from a cruise to Alaska. The staff has and still is amazing Thats what keeps us coming back. I think its sad that most staff become afraid to be seen talking to passengers when the bosses come around ! They ...
