Whittier to Alaska Cruise Reviews

My husband's and my first cruise. Royal Princess was most delightful, enjoyable, comfortable and relaxing. Our stateroom had a balcony on Deck 8, The weather was most pleasant except for one day of rain which happened to be a day at sea, so didn't ruin anything for us. The service on board was excellent. I had never done a Spa, yet, spoiled myself by having nine Accupuncture treatments and two ...

We wanted a combined Land and Sea experience (bucket list item). Princess offered a great end-to-end experience instead of us having to book things individually. Our experience was outstanding (we had exceptionally nice weather almost the entire trip). Overall, everything I had hoped for. For specifics, there are multiple good dining rooms on the ship. We gravitated towards Allegro for ...

Our even dinner experience was terriable. We have cruised this ship several times and really enjoyed it. However this time the food was not up to par, the service was awful. If you wanted drinks you waited for ever to get them. I always look forward to lobster night and get two. Got my first one, over cooked, cold and had to get up and go ask for the butter for it. The bought me another lobster ...

We actually did the land and sea cruisetour this year after being cancelled in 2020 and 2021. The land tour was a great intro to this big, beautiful state. The riverboat cruise in Fairbanks was much better than expected and later the rail trip to Denali was great fun. We luckily had perfect weather almost every day of our trip and got to see snow-topped mountains, including Denali, ...

Princess Cruises had a great reputation, and our travel agent recommended them for Alaska. Things didn't turn out as expected: 1. During the land portion of our trip to Alaska, we stayed in three different inns, one of which was the Mount McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge. We had many problems opening our room door with our room key at the lodge, for which we asked for assistance from hotel ...

Princess Land and Cruise Tour, May 15-25, 2022 This review will cover our most recent cruise vacation. It was a long planned 10-day land and cruise combination trip to Alaska. We expected a pleasant trouble free and relaxing post-Covid vacation hosted by what is widely considered to be the premier purveyor of such trips, Princess Cruise Lines. Spoiler Alert! It was not to be. This was ...

Heard great things about Alaska Cruises and read that Princess was the best cruise line to take. The actual cruising was great but everything else about Princess' support staff is the worst of ANY organization I have had the misfortune of dealing with. I would rather pull every one of my fingernails out one at a time than to ever deal with Princess support staff ever again. I can guarantee that I ...

The destination was great, saw some great glaciers, some decent ports, the food in the normal dining was average at best, the specialty restaurants were decent. The stateroom was fairly nice. All in all the cruising portion was average to good. But absolutely the worst guest services I have ever seen for any business this side of criminal organizations. We were given conflicting information from ...

We were so looking forward to this cruise as it had been so long but ended up so disappointed. This was the first time travelling as Elite. Cons-food was terrible. Lobster was fishy tasting and salty. Beef tenderloin was tough and could not eat. Desserts were boring and almost the same for the 14 days. Up stairs in the Market Place 98% of the food was cold. In the dining room 97% of the food ...

Purchased on 2/24/22 to include all hotels, airfare, excursions, transfers Initially after purchasing we received an email stating that for us to contact our cruise advisor. We tried to contact our cruise adviser 5 times over the span of a week leaving voice mails to call us for questions that we had. We never received a call back. We called the customer service number and was on hold for over ...
