We have been married 45 years, two years in to our marriage my wife said I would like to cruise Alaska, 43 years later we finally accomplished it, Alaska was worth the wait.
We did a land sea adventure and it was great !! the staff at all 3 lodges were great and the crew on board the Royal princess were terrific !! we would do it again in a heartbeat.
As for the beauty of Alaska every time ...
A BIG THANK YOU to Armando and Marfin in the Allegro restaurant who gave us the BEST service ever. We had the privilege of having Armando and Marfin serviced us for 6-delicious dinners.
A BIG THANK YOU to Marlon our cabin Stewart who did an excellent job in maintaining our cabin throughout the cruise (L114 BF).
A BIG THANK YOU to our head waiter at the Crown restaurant (June 8) whom ...
Thought we would be on a well-prepared fun cruise which turned into a nightmare because of staff shortages, false promises made and changed every day, no workable plans for Covid outbreak and general mistreatment of infected patients. In my wife's room she could not get phones to dial. Room service for food was a joke. They were late getting meals, and the order was never correct. All the ...
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 ...
After we had booked this cruise months in advance, we received disturbing news. We were informed that we were on our own at debarkation as far as COVID testing. Up until this notification we were led to believe testing would be provided before our flight home. Several hundred people had to scramble to get a covid test before we could fly home from Vancouver. The cruise would have been much more ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
