Whittier to Alaska Cruise Reviews

This was our first cruise since the onset of Covid. We are platinum level Princess passengers and it was our 3rd Alaskan Cruise. We booked this cruise on the Majestic Princess mainly to use our on board credits that we received when our last cruise in February 2020 was cancelled early due to Noro virus. The credits would have expired by end of 2022. We requested our credits be extended into 2023 ...

Our friends convinced us to take Majestic Princess to Alaska as they’d taken it twice before and raved about it. Unfortunately, we had rainy, cloudy weather 5 of the 7 days and a landslide closed the Skagway port so we were rerouted to Icy Strait. This port was small, and we didn’t find much to do in the 12 hours we were there. We weren’t able to see a lot at our first four points of interest - ...

My wife and I just returned from an 11 day cruise/tour on the Royal Princess. Our cruise/tour stated on land in Fairbanks and we stayed in the Princess Lodges during the land portion. We had hoped that going in July would have resulted in a cruise/tour with clear skies a warm days but that was not the case. For the most part it was cold and wet the majority of the time with temperatures in the ...

We took a cruise from Whittier, AK to Vancouver. Loved the scenery throughout the trip and being able to travel through Glacier Bay. Going to Glacier Bay and our scheduling window was the primary reason we chose the Grand Princess instead of a Royal Caribbean ship. The Grand Princess felt very old overall. They had "upgraded" our room to a rear balcony instead of the port side room we had booked ...

My wife and I took a 7 day cruise from Whittier to Vancouver. Prior to that we had a 7 day inland trip staying in three princess lodges. Overall the inland trip was superior by far although the Princess lodges are adequate but not up to a typical city hotel standard. The Princess Magestic was a beautiful ship which was kept extremely clean at all times by the staff. Princess uses a medalion ...

We chose this cruise as it was a decent price, had the 11 day land / sea option that I really wanted to do. We flew from Vancouver to Anchorage 3 days before our actual start date. I recommend booking your flights along way in advance as the dates do not line up well with the sailing / land tour start dates. Flight cost was $280 CDN pp one way. Hotels in Anchorage are expensive! Expect $250 ...

Can I just start by questioning why Princess has the MedallionNet app and medallions? We have used these for a few years with Princess (March 2020, November 2021, February 2022, and now July 2022) and have had the same experience each time. From the pre boarding information never being retained. To the medallions and the internet rarely working on board the boats. If this were in its infancy ...

We had such a great time. Princess knows how to make your vacation easy and memorable. Our cabin was clean and nice. We had a deck that we enjoyed through Glacier Bay and each morning with coffee. Our interactions on the boat with employee's were first rate. Each and every employee seemed to love their job and care about everyone on board. The cruise director staff was always ...

My wife and I traveled for the first time on Princess to Alaska. We were on the Majestic (June 18th- July 2nd, 2022) and traveled 14 days from Vancouver BC and return. Overall I would give the cruise an 8. The most positive portions were the following: Guest Services- very helpful and always had a smile. They treated each guest with respect and showed patience at all times. Katryna in ...

The Majestic cruise was so amazing. The embarkation and debarkation was the easiest I have ever ecountered. I was in and on the ship within five minutes of embarkation. Our bags did not take long at all to be delivered to our room and the room was amazing. The room was spacious, the balcony was huge and the bathroom was bigger than expected. The staff was super delightful, always spoke to me, ...
