Vancouver to Alaska Cruise Reviews

The embarkation was good, when we arrived to our suite we were surprised we had no cover on our balcony and we had all people above able to view us on the balcony. No privacy at all. Only booked three nights for dinner prior to leaving, thinking we could book as we went along. Only able to book 2 nights out of 9 for future meals, so just pot luck if you get in for dinner. The entertainment has not ...

This was our first time cruising on Cunard. We did a Viking Eastern Mediterranean cruise in October 2022 and it is still fresh in our memory. On a scale of 10, Cunard was at least 3 notches down from Viking. I would rate the Viking cruise as 8/10 and Cunard as 5/10. Mind you there is a price difference to consider. We have also done cruises on Azamara, Holland America and Celebrity. Our Cunard ...

This ship was old & the rooms weren't very nice? - need some major upgrades! - the sink in our cabin was awful? - they offered to move us but the next cabin - the sink was not much better? - so we just stayed where we were! There were way too many kids - as I mentioned 600 on a ship of 2,500 passengers - but I guess that's because "Royal Caribbean" is more Family Oriented!? - I am "Elite" with ...

My girlfriend had cold type symptoms towards the end of the cruise and she tried a covid test that she had, which indicated a faint positive. Since it was an expired test, she visited the medical center day for Covid testing. The Dr. came out and told her she was negative but never showed her the test or documented results. Two days later (after getting off ship), I had symptoms and tested ...

This was our first Holland America cruise. REASONS TO PICK THIS CRUISE: * We picked this specific cruise because the itinerary was midweek to midweek rather than weekend to weekend like most Alaska cruises. This meant the ports were less packed. * We also wanted a smaller ship with fewer people. The passenger capacity for the Volendam is only about 1400 people. * This cruise also went ...

We are a family of 4, with 2 younger children (22mo & 4.5). We love to travel and have travelled 3 or more times a year but never on a cruise. We thought it’s a great way to visit Alaska! We paid A LOT of money and it’s such a great big disappointment. Wish we found this website before we booked! Good: - Food was good at sit down restaurants. Lots of options at buffet (breakfast & lunch ...

We went on this cruise to celebrate my mom and my husbands big mile stone birthdays! There was 6 from Canada and 12 from the US that went to Vancouver for this cruise. I have been on over 12 cruises the past 8 years all with NCL, Royal and Carnival. This will probably be my last with Holland America for a few reasons.. The good- The views on this Alaskan cruise were second to none! Living in ...

Great itinerary. Guest service staff apparently are not well trained especially the manager. My son was hurt by a dog in one of the excursions. The guest service manager did not even apologize or show any symphony or empathy and she was actually laughing after I left! She also implied that I should not have a good expectation of the room quality when I asked why my room was actually partially ...

We chose this cruise because of the wonderful ports of call in AK and CAN. We ended up with fantastic weather which made the cruise even better. We had extended time in most of the ports of call. Our favorites were Juneau, Ketchikan, and Victoria. Icy Strait Point does not offer a lot if not doing an excursion. The town of Hoonah is close by, but transportation there and back was challenging (no ...

This was the third Alaska cruise that I have taken with Princess Cruises. We were on the Crown Princess on the Lido deck. We cruised with my parents and Adult children. My parents and my husband and I had no problems with our room but our kids room was ‘broken’. The a/c didn’t work, after 2 days of trying to fix it they gave them a fan. Carpet coming off of wall, gross stuff growing on the balcony ...
