Vancouver to Hawaii Cruise Reviews

The evening I got home from my cruise I tested positive for Covid. As I have been four-times vaccinated, I am confident my symptoms will not last more than a few days. But I do have to question why Princess no longer positions a crew member at the buffet entrance checking the use of hand-sanitization (like it used to do in norovirus days and on all my previous cruises with the cruise line). As ...

We joined friends for this cruise. I was in the navy and did many 5 day sails to and from Hawaii. My wife really wanted to go and even though I had reservations I agreed. The ship was good and the trip was good for the first half of the trip. We had some slightly rougher seas but they slowed down slightly to reduce movement. My wife has food allergies and the dining room floor manager did a great ...

First let me start by saying I have written to Princess Cruises to give them a chance to respond before I made a review, I heard nothing from them either the letter or the survey. We had no problem boarding and getting to our cabin the steward was excellent and very friendly. Now the food review: The Horizon Court buffet was chaotic at the best of times from long lines because people were ...

We chose this cruise so that we might compare Princess to Holland who we normally sail with. There were so many awful things about this ship and this cruising company that this space is not big enough. Firstly their application called Medallion is for their benefit only and not the passengers. It kept freezing up and we were unable to make reservations or order items onboard. They have an ...

After 2.5 years of no cruising we decided to take a chance. As we are from the Vancouver area, the itinerary leaving and returning to Vancouver allowed us to cruise without having to fly somewhere else to get on the ship. We’ve cruised to Hawaii twice in 2019. This itinerary combines both a cruise and our favourite destination. We enjoyed all the ports although we prefer Lahaina and Kona over ...

I had this cruise set up for September 2020 of course some thing happened that stopped all of us from cruising. With the post Rona hitches in mind the cruise was excellent. See lots of complaining about service. Unfortunately understanding and patience seem to be in short supply. The HAL crew you could see were depleted from pre Rona cruising but the effort expended was above and beyond for ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary. We have sailed on Holland America several times before, although in recent years we have chosen Celebrity. This cruise sailed eout of Vancouver, CA which is a wonderful, beautiful city. Now I will get to the problems we have encountered. First, the boarding procedures were horrific. We were given a 10:100 AM Priority boarding time. We were guided to ...

This is a review of a recent trip on the Holland America Line (HAL) ship Koningsdam. We sailed from Port of Vancouver to Hawaii and visited the four Islands (Maui, Hawaii, Oahu and Kauai) before sailing back to Vancouver. This adventure should have been a trip along the coast of Norway in 2020, but COVID-19 put an end to that idea. HAL offered us a refund or a future cruise credit, so we opted ...

Took this cruise to enjoy the sights of Alaska and travel to Hawaii, and it started good and rapidly went downhill on the Norwegian Spirit. Ship is old and smaller than others, therefore lacking in good activities and eating establishments. We purchased the Thermal Spa Package only to find, due to the age of the ship, not all of the amenities are present on this ship. Of those available the ...

We had always wanted to cruise Alaska and Hawaii and here was a cruise that did both.Prior to this cruise you had to prove that you had had a negative Covid-19 test no more than 3 days prior to sailing. Fortunately we did not have that hassle, unfortunately neither did anyone else, including the ship and it's crew. We did not realize it but the first bad sign came the first morning at breakfast. ...
