Vancouver to Alaska Cruise Reviews

Having been on several other Holland America cruises, this one was a great disappointment. There was a distinct lack of activities during the day, bingo & trivia were the only ones available other than fitness. The cooking & computer classes from the past were no longer offered. Food (other than Pinnacle Restaurant) was average, however the service was still excellent by the wait staff, with the ...

We took a 7 day cruise to Alaska on celebrity Millennium. Ship was old and needed to be updated. Shore excursions were very expensive for what they offered. ATV tour is a complete waste of time and money. They take you on a gravel road for 2 miles and then you turn around and come back. This costs $225. When I complained to Celebrity, they said sorry no refunds. We scammed you. Most ports ...

A complete review of 7n Alaska on Brilliance of the Seas. We had 3 staterooms and 8 people total for a 7 N cruise from Vancouver. The trip itself was great, but the cruise experience was sub par. The Ship Let’s be honest: The last time this ship was refurbished was a decade ago. It’s clean(ish) but in desperate need of an overhaul. There are only 4 outlets in a stateroom and 2 of those ...

The Good Vancouver: We love the city. There is always a ton for us to do and we feel very welcome in Vancouver. Itinerary: Many destinations in Alaska are only accessible by boat or plane, so taking a cruise is an excellent way to experience this wonderful state. The truth is that Icy Strait Point, Juneau, and Ketchikan are excellent ports of call. The wonderful views of the inside ...

Currently sailing on the Sapphire Princess for a 7 day northbound sailing. We have previously sailed with Holland America and Disney Cruise Line Impressions so far: Embarkation: - we boarded at approximately 2:00pm. The process was swift and clear. - Once on the ship, we were told to go to the incorrect deck for our cabin. We wandered around for approximately 20 minutes. No staff to ...

Embarkation: Embarkation was a total nightmare. We arrived at the port to be directed to a line that took an hour literally only to drop our bags off with the porters/longshoreman. We had pre-ordered our medallions; so, from that point, the process was very smooth and fast... maybe 15 minutes. Cabin: The Crown OV cabins are smaller than OV cabins on other lines/ships we have sailed and ...

Our choice of Holland America was based on their reputation, itinerary, park rangers on board, age of passengers and size of ship. Alaska was amazing and the excursions in each port added to our overall enjoyment of Alaska. We wanted to experience a smaller ship with passengers that were seniors. Because it was a June sailing, we expected some children and multi generational families. ...

I recently went on an Alaska cruise tour, 7 day cruise with a 4 day land tour, Princess is cutting corners, from the selection and quality of their food to adding bogus charges on your account. They have a big sign on your door to swipe your medallion and win prizes. What they fail to mention is if you swipe your medallion you get a $50 casino charge on your account. The food in the main dining ...

We went on this Silversea cruise on the inside passage with my mom for her birthday. I've been on a number of cruises with other cruise lines, but it's been about 6 years since we last cruised. I had high expectations with Silversea because it was billed as a luxury cruise and expected more. Overall, we had a great time. Ports were nice and the crew were very nice. It was nice being in a ...

Alaska itself was absolutely breathtaking.. we loved every shore excursion we took. However, we were very disappointed in the ship, the food and the customer service. ( I should say lack of customer service.) I will say that our suite was larger than we expected, and we absolutely adored our cabin stewardess she was amazing. Having sailed on other cruise lines where are used to a certain level ...
