"We also learned that drink and food orders come separately so we had to wait for one or the other - no big deal.On the Glacier Bay day, servers on Lido were overworked so there was a wait for our food, mostly because people moved around after ordering and it was difficult to find people...."Read More

1-10 of 122 Alaska Royal Princess Alaska Cruise Reviews
First time cruiser. We did a pile of research and determined that Mrs. Cruiser and I wanted to be on Princess on the southbound sailing from Whittier through the Alaska Glaciers (Hubbard Glacier, Glacier Bay). We also stopped at Sitka (Skagway was closed), Juneau, and Ketchikan.
All in all, everything was done very well by Princess. Embarkation was very smooth, but in Whittier, there was no ...
This was a planned as a trip of a lifetime for my in-laws. AND IT TURNED OUT AMAZING. The cruise itself was absolutely perfect. Nice weather, great excursions, beautiful scenery, nice ship and excellent staff.
We stayed in two mini-suites (C403-3 adults & C331-2 adults). Loved having the extra space and the having shower/bathtub combo was nice since it increased the size of the shower. Our ...

10 Children - The absolute, hands-down, best aspect of this particular cruise is the conspicuous absence of children. Perhaps only 5% of families brought along their offspring, which in and of itself, makes this cruise well worth booking
9 Crew/ Staff - The Royal’s staff are excellently trained, superbly competent, tireless and circumspectly vigilant. Perhaps the ...
We chose this itinerary because we wanted to share the Alaskan wonders with our adult children.

+ Dinner Service on the Royal Princess was ...
Summary:
Exploring the different Glaciers in Alaska for 14 days is super awesome. It was an enjoyable and relaxing cruise in the summer.
All the officers and staff were skilled, helpful, friendly, and attentive. The food was above average, the dining service was excellent and the entertainment was amazing. We loved the Canadian comedy show and enjoyed the production shows.

We chose this cruise because we wanted to have a good time exploring Alaska with friends/family. This was our 1st cruise with Princess and most certainly our last!! The food was mediocre ,nothing special. The service staff in the Allegro dining room were excellent but it pretty much ended there. Our cabin steward was good although we rarely saw him. Cocktail service was horrible !! Sat there for ...
My wife and I just returned from an 11 day cruise/tour on the Royal Princess. Our cruise/tour stated on land in Fairbanks and we stayed in the Princess Lodges during the land portion. We had hoped that going in July would have resulted in a cruise/tour with clear skies a warm days but that was not the case. For the most part it was cold and wet the majority of the time with temperatures in the ...
I had just done an Alaskan cruise on NCL 2 months prior with my wife, but my parents asked me to join them on this to help them since my mother is mobility handicapped. It was an overall terrible experience for everyone in my party. I had to change rooms 4 times during the cruise, my parents had to change rooms once, and we talked to a family who had to change rooms 6 times.
The entire ship ...
Nothing done by Princess cruise line was done well. WiFi never worked. Medallion apps did not work most of the time. Even on the TV in room it did not work most of the time.
Ours and many others toilet did work many times.
Hot tub jets did not work.
We signed up for the spa. First day the whirlpool jets did not work. Second day whirlpool was shut down so they could work on ...
Can I just start by questioning why Princess has the MedallionNet app and medallions? We have used these for a few years with Princess (March 2020, November 2021, February 2022, and now July 2022) and have had the same experience each time. From the pre boarding information never being retained. To the medallions and the internet rarely working on board the boats. If this were in its infancy ...
