Vancouver to Alaska Cruise Reviews

I had an 18 day cruise/land HA trip to Alaska. The crusing part on Noordam was great in terms of seeing a beatiful scenery. The rest was OK - the food was not that impressive and there were not a lot of activities. The staff was very nice. The land portion of the trip was somewhat disappointing - the hotel in Anchorage was dirty and not very attractive. A month before the cruise, I had an ...

This is a run down ship with tired and overworked employees. There’s no variety and limited spa and excursions. There’s little activity and the same experience everyday. We are a group of 5 and cannot wait to get off. Many others on the cruise feel the exact same way. We missed Icy Bay point/ Strait because we had a medical evacuation. We waited for over 2 hours for a boat and then another hour ...

My grandson (age 26) wanted to go to Alaska and we chose the Viking line. This was our first Viking experience although a good friend goes on back to back Viking cruises (even on the Polaris recently) and he highly recommends Viking and raves about the food. Our experience was different from his. The service and ship facilities were excellent. The food was lacking, I would rate it as ordinary ...

I'm a diehard Celebrity Cruise line fan, but friends had booked this cruise months ago, so we decided to join them. It's been great being with them, but the cruise itself has been awful. We will never sail with Cunard again and will be telling anyone who asks me to avoid them like the plague. I'm going back to Celebrity and will never sail with another company (have also sailed with HAL and ...

After always sailing Royal Caribbean for our previous 12 cruises, we found that Princess drastically lacks in comparison. We had an Alaskan iteneray, leaving from Vancouver and ending in Whittier. The on boarding process in Vancouver was chaotic, it felt like we were walking in circles without any clear directional signage. The service is slow. They have an app that you can use to order ...

Wanted an Alaskan cruise. Their website was the worst ever...embarkation was a nightmare (3 plus hours from line up to line up) The food at buffet was not eatable at times and lots of it was recycled. The water tasted like chlorine and coffee (both free and paid for was the worse ever) We found the hard way that cruise ships are a magnet for viruses. Half the way we all got sick and ...

If I could give a zero for the food on the Eclipse I would. If I had to write about how the bad the food was I would miss my flight home. I couldn’t wait to get to the airport to get food. This was certainly not what I had expected after hearing from family and friends that Celebrity is supposed to be a luxury cruise line. Believe me it was far from it. We booked this cruise 7 months ago and ...

Holland America Volendam Ship June 2023. Unfortunately we had problems in almost every area which sadly for us is a first. We are not the complaining type which saddens me to have so many bad experiences on one trip even. I understand the minor hiccup or inconvenience but this trip was a catastrophe from before leaving the dock even to the point of being escorted off the boat under medical ...

We chose this Princess cruise solely for the itinerary. My husband & I wanted to visit Glacier Nat'l Park, which we enjoyed immensely. We did a 14 day B2B. We have been on 28 cruises in the past, so we have experienced the good and the bad in cruising. However, this was our first post-covid cruise, so unsure of the effect of recovery on different cruise lines at this time. As far as this Princess ...

We chose this cruise as family members had sailed the year before on the exact same ship, same time of year and same itinerary. Based on their pictures and commentary we decided to give this cruise a try. HUGE MISTAKE! We booked a Neptune Suite and stayed two nights pre cruise at PanPacific Hotel in Vancouver. This hotel is amazing and we highly recommend for pre or post cruise ...
