This was our first Princess cruise - and it won't be our last! We have cruised Carnival and NCL and usually choose our ship based on the itinerary, price etc... Several family members encouraged us to try Princess so when we saw the repositioning deal for the Majestic from Vancouver to LA it was a great time to try it - we chose a balcony cabin with Princess Plus. We made a $200 bid to upgrade ...
Our first time with RCI, we expected so much more - at least a quality near that of other cruise lines at this same cost level. The RCI goal seems to be cut corners at every opportunity (even literally cutting off the corners of cabin beds) & to charge extra for everything they can or to keep bugging you to buy all the "extras". The ship interior has all the flair of a social security office: ...
We are experienced cruisers, and LOVED this ship. We had read mixed reviews and decided to see for ourselves, and we were blown away. We had been on all of the Oasis class ships (with exception to Wonder), and in the end, this might be our favorte ship of all.
Clean! One of the cleanest ships we have been on.
The crew were fantastic! From our cabin steward, to dining staff, the rec ...
Hubby and I are loyal Royal Carribean (Platinum) and cruised Quantum 3 weeks ago (Oct 2023) and it was an awesome 9 days (5 at sea) never a boring moment. Embark in Vancouver was a strain as the Vancouver port staff did not recognize the "Key" priority; but the ship staff did reconcile. Overall, the food was average (not bad) but we are not foodies and not critics. We did tour the windjammer but ...
After booking and paying for this cruise, we got an update stating that our first port of call had been cancelled then a second port of call had also been cancelled, the replacement on the first port had been changed to Seattle, we live in Vancouver BC, the second cancellation no substitute provided. While on the ship other ports had also been cancelled one due to weather one because of civil ...
This was our 5th Seabourn cruise and, unlike our most memorable cruise aboard the Quest to Antarctica with the late and much missed Captain Larsen, this voyage was a bust. Think that you’ll get close to Polar Bears and other marine mammals aboard Zodiacs? Think again! You’d be better off watching a David Attenborough film and saving yourself +$30k. We never got closer than 1000 meters to these ...
Most of our cruises have been 21 to 28 days but this was a 56 day adventure in the South Pacific.
The itinerary was great although a couple of ports missed due to weather and the laid back South Pacific lifestyle!
The crew so friendly, hard working, accommodating and caring. . Cruise director was outstanding as was the captain . After 56 days we were one big happy family.
It is an older ...
We booked this 4 night Alaska Preview cruise because Airfare was less to fly to Vancouver than it was to Southern cruise ports. My sister was interested in doing a longer Alaska Land & Cruise tour package so this sampler cruise was perfect way to get her to see a Vancouver, Ketchikan, and Seattle. Honestly, this cruise could not have been more perfect! Weather was so perfect every day, I packed ...
We went on a miniAlaska cruise from Vancouver, ending in Seattle. The checkin process in Vancouverwas poorly organized. We ended up standing in line for over an hour. The ship itself is OK but in need of upgrading. Staff for the most part were friendly and helpful. We disembarked to have lunch in Ketchikan. When we returned there was a very long line to get back on the ship. Only one ...
While most of the staff were very friendly and go out of their way to help you, guest services left must to be desired. Unless you purchase upgrades and shore excursions, don't expect must. Preferential service is give to passengers who pay the extra money, the rest of the passengers' needs are only seen if the staff has time. This includes disembarkation times at ports. If you stop at a port that ...
