Vancouver to Alaska Cruise Reviews

We have travelled with Celebrity several times and always found it to outstanding. Unfortunately we did a back to back sailing from Vancouver to Alaska and then back to Vancouver. The second leg of our trip was most disappointing. There were changes of crew in Alaska, who weren't as polite or friendly as those on the northbound trip. On both north and southbound trips the food in the ...

We got quite a bumpy start,,, our first stop in Alaska before heading to Japan was cancelled. I was really looking foward to see the inside passage and Ketchikan. That stop has been replaced by a stop at Victoria, beautifull city. We did an unplaned 12 hrs pit stop for fuel??? at Dutch Harbor in the Aleutians with interdiction to go ashore, grrr. But we been blessed by the sight of many dozens of ...

Having been away from Alaska since 2018, we were excited to travel north aboard CROWN princess for an 11-night adventure. We last sailed on CROWN to the Caribbean in 2018. We recall that cruise event as having the best food/service in all the Princess fleet we had ever experienced. Not to be the situation this time. EMBARKATION: Went well. Well organized at Canada Place, Vancouver. The ...

This was our third attempt to do this with Celebrity...COVIDS caused the cruise to be canceled year after year. We lifted and shifted our reservations, with Celebrity being quite amenable after a bit of balking. Japan is one of the places DW and I had never visited before, and the idea of sailing across the North Pacific was intriguing. The ship gets *****. Our first trip on Millie, ...

We thoroughly enjoyed our Alaskan cruise on the Crown Princess. The Crown has a promenade deck which allows you to walk around the whole ship. The Crown Princess is an older ship but well maintained and clean. Our stateroom was a Vista Suite aft on the Dolphin deck. The food was amazing. We ate every night in the Reserve Collection dining Room. I highly recommend it - never having to wait ...

We are loyal Princess Cruise passengers, and this was our tenth cruise with Princess, first trip on the Crown Princess. While Alaska was absolutely amazing, we were really disappointed with the experience on the ship. The food was probably our number one issue, with very few choices on the boat and a very lackluster buffet. The variety wasn't there, and they often put out stale and old items. One ...

I have done the Alaskan cruise 6 times and this was the worst. Holland America beats Celebrity hands down in every category. Here we go: the coffee was awful. Burnt one day, weak the next and just ok on a good day. Never ! Have I returned an entry in previous cruises. Three!! times I sent my dinner back. Poor selection for appetizers and main entrees. Only the deserts were good. Broken ...

The Nieuw Amsterdam seems a little dated compared to the Koningsdam and other Pinnacle class ships. We were very pleased with our Verandah cabin and the MDR and Lido food was better than on a recent cruise on the Koningsdam. We have tried the specialty restaurants on past cruises but don't think it's worth the cost. The option to add extra $$ menu items in the MDR is not a bad idea! The BB King ...

My daughter and i enjoy cruising together and decided to do a royal caribbean cruise up to alaska. she saw the cruise at a good price last january, and some family decided later, that they wanted to join us, but price went up very steeply so they did not come. i am diamond level and daughter is ruby level. I get quite a few perks. a room up on deck 13 only diamond member can get in, 4 hours a ...

We choose this line because it goes through the Tracy Arm Fjords. I have to say after 36 cruises this is the most disappointing - the boat was dated and our room was not clean. We had to complain to the front desk and get them to clean again and still they missed cleaning the drawers and mirrors. The food was horrible in the dining room and buffet and only one of the specialty restaurants was ...
