Fine Alaskan Cruise by shonnie915

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Majestic Princess

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 memories by topaz1313

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Sapphire Princess

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.

Great time of year to cruise to Alaska by Jojo141

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Jewel

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.

NCL Steps Up Their Game by lross200

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Jewel

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!

Great Cruise by frank38467656

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Spirit

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.

Absolutely Stunning!!! by stacymkc

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Grand Princess

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.

Great way to see Alaska. by Coloradosh

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Jewel

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.

Great Alaska Cruise with Room to Improve by HongC

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Jewel

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.

Excellent food, outstanding room service, but Medallion APP sucked. poor logistics on final destination. The Motown Soul Music has no Soul. I didn't see Detroit but Las Vegas instead. dancers on stage with loud music but without soul by SammyYang

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Grand Princess

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.

Great Alaskan cruise by waljeaben

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Jewel

As an NCL regular it was just okay because of the few things I mentioned earlier. Hopefully our next NCL venture will be back up to expectations.
