Vancouver to Alaska Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise because it’s supposed to be 6 star luxury & also includes the excursions. Boarding the cruise was seamless & impressive. Suites & ship are beautiful. Service in main restaurants was slow & inconsistent. It seemed everyone was new & inexperienced except a handful which were good. Food was average. We asked for soy milk in the breakfast restaurant & the first 4 days they said ...

I will start with the bad.. -Cabin bathroom are super small. Can't change in them so if you're traveling with anyone but a spouse..good luck -Biergarten was clearly mislabeled because this represents nothing what a beer garden should be. Nothing on tap, and miniscule selection of beer. Nothing here is exclusive to the ship so it makes going up to it pointless unless you want to deal with the ...

We’re back cruising again! This cruise is fundamentally different than the dozen or so others that we’ve been on, as it’s the first one “sailing” north that we’ve been on, and by north I mean we’ll end up at Denali National Park in Alaska and not dealing with tropical heat. In fact, parts of Denali are above the Arctic Circle. You can’t actually cruise to Denali as it’s deep in Alaska’s ...

We chose this cruise because we have always wanted to take an Alaskan cruise. When we had taken a Viking River cruise in 2018, the guests we met could not say enough about the ocean cruises. The assistance we got from our Viking travel rep, Bruce, was always outstanding. The only complaint we have about that is that we wish Viking would be able to work some type of flight deals like they have for ...

We chose this cruise to use up a cruise credit from a previously cancelled cruise and based on our previous Hal cruise which was fantastic in all respects. Unfortunately this cruise did not live up to our expectations even when compared to our cruises on the lesser rated lines. first of all we arrived at the terminal in Vancouver at our assigned time 10:20 am only to pass through customs ...

I was desperate to cruise again after 3 years of Covid restrictions. The price was right, the itinerary was familiar, and I had not previously sailed on Koningsdam. I achieved 4 Star Mariner status on this cruise so I believe I had reasonable expectations based on 195 Holland America days at the start of the cruise. The ship is very nice but has a starkness about it. The staff, as usual, were ...

We love Alaska and love to cruise (this was number 50 for us) and are NCL Platinum which has some nice perks so when this cruise came up at a fantastic price, we jumped on it. But this was an example of the old truism, "You get what you pay for!" While the Spirit trumpeted its $100 million makeover, our reaction was, "They should have saved their money." Cabin was small, the cabin service the ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary and our previous experience on the Rotterdam, last summer. Overall, the cruise was average, with a lot of hit and misses. The embarkation process in Vancouver was awful…hours in lines..3 times through customs, no explanations or set expectations as to how long this would take. Weather was poor for the first week and gale force winds caused the ship ...

This is a review of my recent cruise on the Grand Princess including the new Premier Level option. We went on back to back weeks from Vancouver to Alaska and back again. We were in a mini-suite. The highs: --The room was nice: large bathroom, plenty of storage, a sitting area with couch and table and a nice balcony. --Room Stewart was great. She went above and beyond. Two examples: ...

This was my 10th cruise, but my first on Princess, my first ever visit to Alaska and the first cruise that didn’t require air travel (which also typically requires a day or two of hotel on each side as well). It was also my first non-warm weather cruise. Seven of my previous nine cruises were on Carnival, one was on NCL and one was on Louis in Greece. Overall, the cruise was very nice. Like ...
