Alaska - Gulf of Alaska Cruise Reviews

The cruise was wonderful. The weather was typical for SE Alaska, and that was a bummer. Possibly a July or August cruise would have better weather.

Alaska is a wonderful cruise. I highly recommend a trip this way. Spend some time on land in the Anchorage/Denali area. I would be apprehensive using Holland again. Some of this is on me. I did not research the ship itself well enough. I think this company has food service issues and they don’t seem all that organized for embarking and disembarking. Not much can be said for their “sales seminars” and quality of entertainment. The staff was very friendly, courteous, but maybe a little detached.

It was a very satisfying trip. The food was really great, too.

Bad bad cruise ship garbage food and do call special restaurant even worse it happened to me and to other people from last year Princess cruise different ship

Overall a nice trip. Worth the visit and glad we did it. Didn’t find anything special about cruising on Princess versus a competitor other than the crowd leaned a little older, so definitely no worries about having quiet if that’s what you seek.

Great staff! Enjoyed our cruise. It’s the only way to see Alaska!

Overall the ports were great. I was uncomfortable the whole trip between too much ac on the ship and the cold, wet and windy ports. I had 3 layers on and still couldn’t get warm. There needed to be different entertainment besides trivia 5-6 times a day, more than 1 comedy show and cheaper or free bingo. The views were breathtaking and the excursions were great.

This is a great Cruise! The Princess Sapphire was great. I highly recommend it.

Cruising is the way to go! This was the second time we cruised to Alaska. We left the itinerary to the experts who took excellent care of us. I always say I love to be waited on, no cooking, or cleaning and great entertainment.

Alaska is a must-see cruise and this one-way allows you to spend more time at each area and enjoy the beauty more.

Alaska is so amazing, and we really enjoyed the senary, and seeing all the wildlife. God is such an incredible creator.

Alaska never disappoints. The journey is the highlight. The excursions have become very expensive and sometimes contrived. Enjoy the calm waters, the beautiful scenery and the ship itself. Even though the weather can be uncooperative, the trip is outstanding!

didn't provide me the $25 credit that they promissed.

Totally enjoyed our trip. we did tour first , then cruise. Deb Whelen best guide we have ever had! her knowledge and experience were fascinating and she was always helpful

Very well organized cruise The transfer to Denali and all the coordination was so well planned.

The Spirit is a great small ship experience with recently refurbished spaces and exceptional service. This itinerary was great with 4 Alaskan port cities and one day cruising Hubbard Glacier.

This was our first time visiting Alaska and we enjoyed it immensely. We cruised with 2 other couples (both first time cruisers) and had very little complaints. Alaska is indescribable and beautiful beyond measure.

The cruise was generally great but could have been better. The main issues were at both ends of the crise, embarkation and disembarkation. We really enjoyed the time on the cruise ship.

We had fun and saw a lot of beautiful scenery. We were lucky the ship was less than 50% occupied, shorter lines and fewer people. That's why we chose the first cruise of the season.

I have been on Carnival and Royal Caribbean prior to Princess. I would give a 5-star score on Princess. However, the below 3 items have ruined my experience. 1) Medallion APP - it disconnected from booking database and wiped out on file credit card. Also, due to the network latency and staled webpage, it's not a true-Realtime APP, it created a lot of inconvenience. 2) Logistics - We didn't receive the (Whittier - Anchorage) paper in stateroom. When we approached the service desk, stated the car rental is through AVIS in downtown Anchorage. We even asked if AVIS downtown location is closer to Hospitality Center, the answer was NO. airport is only option. When we arrived in AVIS airport location, no car available. it cost extra money to get AVIS downtown location which is across street from Hospitality Center. 3) Entertainment - The Motown Soul Music has no Soul, I didn't see Detroit but Las Vegas instead. bunch of dancers moving the body on stage with loud music but without soul. needs Improvement on Medallion APP, knowledge training on logistics, entertaining not insulting audiences.
