Alaska - Gulf of Alaska Cruise Reviews

This is one of the best trips we have ever had. The beauty of the nature & wildlife is indescribable. We loved seeing all the animals including the whales, bears, sea lions, sea otters, eagles, ravens, porpoise, puffins & etc. The ship was also very nice and the service was excellent. We recommend everyone go to Alaska if possible.

overall a great vacation/cruise, both land and sea! Service was impeccable! Two issues were lost luggage which was later found and huge over charge at jewelry store Effy aboard trip. Do not buy anything on board ship!

We took the land cruise by rail before cruising and had a overall fantastic trip of the Alaskan history, terrain and the people . We had perfect weather on this trip which is unusual but greatly appreciated. Scenic and beautiful

Alaska has been on our bucket list. We decided to cruise Alaska for our 50th Anniversary. What a beautiful part of our country. Excellent opportunity to see whales, moose, eagles and lots of Alaskan wildlife.

Getting on was easy, as was getting off. There was a lack of evening activites, after 10 pm. But earlier there was a number of things to do.

I cannot thank Joy and Camille in Neptune lounge enough and Mada and Yohannes for our room service and Noel in Pinnacle

Had a great trip!. The ship was great, the staff very accommodating, and getting on and off very ready.

Our cabin steward, Darwin Rodriguez, was truly exceptional. So too was our dining waitress, Zayda. The two formal nights are a joke. Princess does not enforce their rules on diners to wear anything remotely resembling formal attire. Really, anything goes, much to the detriment of those who adhere to their dress code. Some of us may be paying airline surcharges for bringing formal attire, and this is infuriating. It it past time to do away with formal nites, given lack of enforcement.

Captain Alex was awesome. He notified us one night about the northern lights. If not for that we would have missed that experience. He always kept us informed and has a great sense of humor. This is the cruise to take if you are trying to decide which Alaska cruise to take.

Our Voyage of the Glaciers Cruise in early September was AWESOME!! Saw lots of wildlife & weather was sunny & dry. Bald eagles, Brown bears, Alaskan mountain goats, Sea Otters, Seals, Beluga Whales. If you want to see lots of glaciers as well, go on this cruise. You won't be disappointed!! ;-)

Alaska is amazing and I encourage everyone to see the grandeur. Maybe choose a different cruise line

I loved my vista suite. Great Balcony, location, comforts of home.

We absolutely LOVED our trip! Alaska was stunningly beautiful!! The ship was older but well maintained. Staff was exceptional. Food well above par. We would recommend this trip (and have), and Princess Cruises! Good value!

Our room attendant Saman was truly awesome, like to give him a shoutout for a job well done. The food was great, people we met from all over the world and staff were all great. This was my first cruise and already planning my next cruise

I was disappointed with two things, I wanted to travel more during the day when we were within sight of land, but a lot of the traveling was done during the dark. I went to Alaska to see the scenery and wildlife. I went to the shopping helpful info talk in the theatre and was disappointed about the commercialization of it. I was not at all interested in buying jewelry and this seemed like the theme of this trip.

All in all, a nice cruise -- had decent weather, and enjoyed the beautiful sights. The onboard staff was amazing ... and they made a suitable big fuss over my spouse's birthday. Do be prepared for the 18% "gratuity" that is automatically added to your bill ... since the staff was so good, we did not dispute it, but plan on it adding about $30/day to your cost of the cruise (for 2 sharing a cabin).

Ports, staff, food and cleanliness were excellent. We were lucky that weather was nearly perfect the entire trip.

Alaska should be on everyone’s list......can’t say enough good things about our trip. If you can take time off, fly into seattle for a few days, then head up to vancouver. Both cities are awesome! Then do the northbound inside passage cruise arriving at Seward. All the ports are wonderful, and cruising at Hubbard Glacier was amazing. Captain Alex was the nicest ship captain ever, and he gave us the best day of glacier watching imaginable. Be sure to do a land tour once in Seward, and DO NOT miss Mt. Denali!!! Saving the best for last, was such a treat for us all. Celebrity did a fantastic job and we will never forget this adventure of a lifetime!

Our waiters in the dining room were fantastic!!! Angelo & Iwayne were very friendly & took care of us wonderfully. Very professional but very accommodating as well.

We could have been on a Caribbean cruise for all the Alaska/Native emphasis. Where were talks on the flora, fauna, geographic formation, history and culture? Not even a map to show where we were and what was coming up.
