Vancouver to Alaska Cruise Reviews

We choose this ship due to the time of departing Vancouver and returning. We had been on other Princess cruises and felt confident that Crown Princess would meet our satisfactions. The deals and specials were our liking also on this ship. We got our cruise through a travel agent. Vancouver not too far away we got parking at the ship terminal which cost us over $300. for 11 days. But very ...

A veteran of 15 cruises including previous Holland America but had never done Alaska. Although the cruise highlights were terrific, the Volendam and Holland America unfortunately were not. While the Lido Market had a wonderful buffet with a great selection of fresh foods, the main dining room was poor in comparison to past cruises. My main complaint was with misrepresentation on the menu. What was ...

This was the worst cruise I have ever taken. Best vacation because of the scenery and wildlife but worst cruise. We had a room on the 9th floor. Noise from the oceanview buffet kept us up all night. Workers pounding clanking rolling carts all night. Did not complain until the last night at 1 am when we had to be up at 5 to catch the train. Even then they stopped for a little while then started ...

We wanted to sail to Alaska with family living near Vancouver, so we chose the Royal Caribbean Brilliance of the Sea cruise from Vancouver to Sitka, Juneau, Skagway and Haines. The itinerary was fine, but RC’s processes and crew downsizing caused some real problems. The first issue was the process for departure from Vancouver. The embarkation process was a nightmare, with numerous personnel ...

We chose this cruise over a year ago because of the amazing deal. We were initially booked on Enchantment but RCCL moved that ship and substituted Brilliance of the Seas which we were thrilled with! Our trip began at the Port of Vancouver and I suggest to just pack your patience and breathe when you are boarding there. If you have ever been to the Port of Miami you will know what to do, lol. ...

The food was terrible. Rotten fruit on the buffet daily. Dining room food was subpar: flavorless, overcooked, mass-produced garbage. Windjammer was marginally better. Even the pizza was bad. Cutting off food service from 3pm-6pm was awful. Nothing to eat after 10pm. Awful. Ship spaces are old and tired. Cabins have only two plugs, no usb chargers. No plugs near the bed. No extra bedding was a ...

We recently sailed on the Brilliance of the Seas to Alaska and it was the perfect size for the journey. There were so many Windows everywhere that no matter where you go you won't miss any of the amazing views. The ship is older though and in serious need of a refresh. Our cabin had a cracked sink and a large tear in the curtain. All of the furniture was warn out and the bed was ...

We chose this cruise because the Grand Princess was a smaller ship that could turn around in Glacier Bay. Princess advertised that it's specialty was Alaska cruises but if that was their specialty, they have a long way to go.. Princess had a lot of incentives to get you to try their cruise line such as free drink packages and WIFI. The overall ship was fine but they had a LOT of areas that need ...

We booked the cruise through a travel agent. The dates fitted with our trip of a lifetime to Canada and Alaska. We saw photos of the ship before we travelled, but the ship didn’t look how we expected at all! I saw the ship in Vancouver next to the Seven Seas Explorer. It looks like a car ferry outside and inside! I was so disappointed! The ship is very tired and dated and nothing like the ...

Multi-generational family cruised together in July 2023 to Alaska. Nine people, 2 younger kids (ages 4, 13) and 7 adults (ages 19 , 47, 47, 49, 51, 70, 73). Our family of 3 (husband, wife and 19 year old) sailed this same cruise in 2014. Our previous experience was magical - we got off that cruise dreaming of the day we could do it again. Everything was amazing - great shows, amazing service, food ...
