Review for a Alaska Cruise on Island Princess

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

First Cruise: I did not understand how great the ship workers would be and how many hours they work. My hat is off to them. They made sure that we had a great time. An Alaskan Cruise had been on the list for a long time. It did not disappoint although I have no other cruises to compare it to. Originally we were booked for a cruisetour through Princess. I only had three days so the only option was ...

Despite serious logistical issues on the land portion

I found very little information on NCL Cruisetours (the land portion), so I'm including that in the trip. The four of us -- my parents (age 72 and 74), my nephew (barely 14) and myself (51) had a wonderful time on the Denali Express Cruisetour, but the logistics leave a lot to be desired. Unless they get their act together, I'd recommend you put together your own land tour - you can do it ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

We just completed our first ever cruising experience with the last Alaska cruise for the Coral Princess this season in Sept 2013. We also booked the Princess pre-cruise land package to Mt. McKinley & Denali Nat'l Park. 1. Pre-cruise tour was very good, saw some of Alaska in the shortest time possible but you spend more time in transportation then enjoying the destinations. We will want to cruise ...

Why an Alaskan cruise in September works and why it doesn't

We did a combination land/sea package. We flew from DFW to Seattle, changed planes (a very interesting boarding process with Alaska Air requiring us to go outside, down a long flight of stairs, across the tarmac, and back up the stairs at the rear of the plane. It was dark and we had to lug our carry on items with us. Not favorably impressed with Alaska Air) and flew into Fairbanks. Even though it ...

This was our tenth Alaska cruise. We have cruised with four different lines and this was our third with Princess. You must understand that we cruise Alaska for the scenery and the wildlife, not for the food or entertainment. And one thing we have learned is that captains and naturalists do matter. The captain on the Diamond Princess is as good as we have ever had at sea. He personally spotted ...

We flew into Anchorage from Seattle on Alaska Airlines. It was a very early flight but we found places to be comfortable at the airport while we waited for the Princess shuttle to Whittier. We were among the first group to check in due to our early arrival so we got the first bus to the ship. Princess has their processes at embarkation down to a science, very efficient, friendly and ...

This was our second cruise. First was with Royal Caribbean 2 years ago in the Caribbean, that boat twice the size of this one in terms of passengers, otherwise basically similar construction and facilities, just smaller scale. We stayed overnight in Anchorage, Alaska, poured with rain, didn't get to see much but shopped at JC Penney, stayed at Residence Inn near airport, very comfortable, picked ...

Most Relaxing Cruise Ever!

We've done 3 Caribbean cruises prior to this Alaska cruise, and this was by far the most relaxing cruise we've ever taken. We did a 5 day connoisseur land tour prior to the cruise and highly recommend spending the extra money for this level (friends did the Denali Explorer version and didn't enjoy it nearly as much as we did). But I'm here to talk about the cruise! Embarkation: By taking the ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

We decided to do the land tour first and then sail south down the inside passage to Vancouver. We correctly thought we would be tired after the land tour and ready to relax on the Coral Princess for the next 7 days. We left July 4th and returned home July 17th, 2013. We packed rain jackets and layered our clothing. Most of the land tour was in the 55-60 range, overcast and drizzled often. We wore ...

Island Princess did not disappoint

Island Princess is 10 years old but you would never know it....very modern and extremely clean. The staff were very friendly. The food on the ship was certainly the normal Princess standard - they offered excellent quality and a bundle of choices and you could always order as much as you wanted. My spouse purchased the coke card for the week and was pleasantly surprised to learn that it included ...
