Princess Grand Princess Cruise Reviews for Family to Alaska

We had a wonderful time on the Grand Princess for the seven day Alaska cruise out of Vancouver BC and ending in Whittier. This is only our third time cruising and the first with PCL. We thought the ship was beautiful. We had an inside room because we booked fairly last minute and the pricing was excellent. The ship never felt crowded and was a really great size for my 74-year-old mother to ...

First of all, I did a YouTube review video of the ship, entertainment and food. If interested, type in "2023 Grand Princess full ship tour and V-log review - what I loved about the ship." I had been on the ship 20 years ago and was aware this is the oldest ship in the fleet. I was shocked when we boarded as the ship looked brand new. Everywhere we walked on the ship, I could not find any ...

I expected this to be "dated," but was pleasantly surprised with how beautifully appointed everything was. The artwork throughout the ship and in all restaurants and stairwells was beautiful and the piazza was a lovely place to enjoy the ambience. Lots of hot tub options, our favourite one was at the back on the top. The entertainment was top-notch, the food and drink incredible (we loved the 24K ...

We had never been to Alaska before, so we went with a 14 day cruise. To be clear, this is really two 7-day one-way cruises, 7 days from Vancouver to Whittier, 7 days back to Vancouver. While this sounds redundant, it's not. On the way north the ships tours College fjord near Whittier, on the way back we tour Yakutat Bar/Hubbard glacier. It does stop at Glacier Bay NP both ways, and also ...

We had such a great time. Princess knows how to make your vacation easy and memorable. Our cabin was clean and nice. We had a deck that we enjoyed through Glacier Bay and each morning with coffee. Our interactions on the boat with employee's were first rate. Each and every employee seemed to love their job and care about everyone on board. The cruise director staff was always ...

Our Alaska Cruise aboard the Grand Princess was Excellent. I was concerned about some of the negative reviews I read before the cruise about the Grand Princess. However, after spending a week on the ship I must say those people must just like to be negative about everything. Our experience was great. The ship is older but has been refurnished and it was up to Princess standards. This was our ...

Admittedly, this was our first ever cruise. However, that being said, we could not have been more pleased with our trip. We began with a land cruise, so our embarkation was different than one just arriving at the port and boarding the ship. Princess personnel were onboard our train to perform the actual check-in, so all we had to do when we arrived at the port was walk through the metal ...

My daughter and I loved our 7 night Alaska cruise on the Grand Princess. The ship was in great shape and very clean. Our stateroom host, Angelito, was amazing- he took very good care of us and was so kind. I always saw workers cleaning and they did enforce the indoor mask policy when in public spaces which I appreciated. There was hand sanitizer everywhere plus you had to wash your hands before ...

Perfect weather, amazing food and service. The first week was so peaceful and relaxing which is EXACTLY what we needed. The second week large groups ruined our dining room experience; loud and monopolized wait staff. Those that had adjoining, or even close proximity cabins, were loud, shouting back and forth so our peaceful balcony time was gone. We saw eagles, Dall’s porpoise, otter, seals, ...

Nothing like Alaska to renew your cruise spirit. Fourth time to visit the Land of the Midnight Sun and sixth time onboard the Grand Princess. Over the 7 years we’ve known her, she’s as grand as ever. We were on the first Grand cruise with Medallions and they’ve always worked flawlessly and this time was no exception. Good Spirits bar adds another dimension to the Princess experience and never ...
