Alaska - Gulf of Alaska Cruise Reviews

Back to Back Alaska cruises is the way to go. We flew all day, so best to be up there awhile to get over the jetlag and to take advantage of the incredible wilderness. DeepWaterHappy blog will have articles about all our excursions soon.

We loved a lot about this cruise. The ship was smaller which we loved and nicely appointed after the refurbishment. The staff was very friendly and always smiling and saying hello. Cabin was super quiet and fabulous. Main complaint is that none of the bartenders knew what "up" meant, a standard practice and bartending 101. Not a single one from Cellar Masters, to Sky Lounge, to the Martini bar knew what this was when I ordered a "Double Disaronno Up" and I had to tell them every time, chilled on ice, then strained...NOT ON ICE. Other than that, and that the food around the ship on the last day seemed to "phone it in", everything was great.

Pretty views and enjoyed my time. However, it wasn't without some issues with the business side of Royal Caribbean. Prices of everything doesn't make me want to rush back for another Alaskan Cruise.

Beautiful wild Alaska! We enjoyed nature and culture on Celebrity Summit from Seward, Juneau, Skagway, Ice Point Strait, Ketchikan, to Vancouver tomorrow. Excellent chef meals, Broadway shows, comedian, and musical arrangements!

A recommended cruise. Would have liked a land sea cruise combination.

I feel princess failed by not keeping the ship sanitized. Many sick people I am guessing all with Covid as we were very sick the last day and upon returning home the same day we left the ship we tested positive for Covid. There was no effort to clean common touch surfaces and hand washing was not enforced at the buffet. My dream vacation turned into a nightmare and now I am still very sick. I expected a safer environment on the ship.

Unfortunately my husband came home with Covid which is a risk we take when we travel. Please consider vaccinating for flu/covid prior to traveling.... and wearing a mask if not feeling well . Not only does it ruin the end of the trip, but then requires additional time off from work since you can not go into work sick. We heard so many people coughing with out covering mouths or with their hands ( and then touching things ) .

Truly a wonderful first cruise experience. You could do as much or as little as you wanted. I would recommend upgrading to princess plus it was well worth it. Premier could be if you like to eat and drink in particular. Staff was wonderful, the medallions were awesome, just wish that some of the excursions were more affordable. Regardless we will definitely cruise again and bring the family next time.

Don't cruise with RC, not worth the money. Ship was not well laid out as "library" was located in centrum which was one of the noisiest and loud areas. Music in this area was excessively loud. Mini golf was in poor shape and sports court was tiny. Too much "family time" in solarium which was supposed to be 18+. Food was probably the worst I've ever had. If it was a local restaurant it would have been out of business.

We had wonderful weather which made this cruise all the more magnificent. We had one day of drizzle and the remaining days were sunny and between 58-70 degrees. Because of the sun we were able to appreciate the magnificence of Alaska.

The cruise prize was okay but everything else was expensive. The cabins were very clean and tidied every day. The services we received was excellent, the entertainment was excellent too. The food was excellent!!!

The screw up from Anchorage to Seward was a HUGE problem. Leaving Vancouver our itinerary from you said Air Canada but it was United. This caused us another Huge problem.

I don't think we're Princess cruise people. We did not enjoy the experience. For us, 7 days was too long to be trapped on the ship. The poor quality app was so frustrating. We were often confused on what to expect. I constantly felt like the team was shocked with how many people there were.

Ship was great, we couldn't be happier. Weather was much colder than we anticipated.

Great experience with the celebrity Summit during. Exceptionally nice staff including those who are helping in the state rooms, dining rooms and specialty Reynolds.

Best vacation of my life. Stunning views. Beautiful Alaska just couldn't disappoint. And the crew on the Radiance and the perfect size of the ship made for a truly special experience.

THE WORST CRUISE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Doctor on board saidthathe didn't want my husband going ashore and exerting while he was on the new medication,so we stayed onboard.

Doing this n early June is probably the best but still we saw wonderful glaciers and some wildlife It is cold so, be prepared but it really worth it

Our cruise was a wonderful experience. Was very relaxing and enjoyed the sites both on land and at sea! The service was all around top notch.

We have tried unsuccessfully to take an Alaskan cruse when we found this itinerary. This itinerary for us was the most accommodating for number of port of calls with days at seas. Really enjoyed very port and amount of time in port. Not a single bad comment, from the ship, cabin, staff and entertainment.
