Alaska - Gulf of Alaska Cruise Reviews

Loved Alaska and will return… we will use a different ship

Overall the cruise was good except for the weather was not great cool and rainy but,that's the chance you take sailing in May it could go either way sunny and warn or cool and rainy.

A must do cruise! If you can, book the return Southbound to Vancouver. I spoke to others that were doing this and if I have another opportunity to do this, I would. This was an amazing experience and Alaska is so huge you only see a tip of it in 7 days.

It was a good cruise a little bit of clouds and rainy days overall it was Alaska in spring time weather.

I loved the scenery and destinations of the Alaska cruise. A little disappointed that Skagway was removed from our ports but I don't think it was RC fault.

Excellent cruise and great value. Wonderful way to get introduced to Alaka.

It was my first cruise and I loved it! The ship was awesome, the room was great, the food was really good, the staff was amazing, I loved it!

This was our first cruise, we had a lovely time and have already discussed booking another cruise. This ship was well run and it seems that the crew have great respect for their shipmates and captain. Cruise Director, Eddy Jenkins made this cruise for us! He is so witty and personable. I would have liked to be able to have a chat with him but he is so busy with all of his duties.

Enjoy cruising...met new friends. Will use Norwegian and again!!

Great experience cruise with Princess , as usual Great friendly staff members,

On The way up we had a lot of fog and rain. Come to think of it is was the same on the way back. Lol don't let weather stop you 🤣 from having fun

Alaska is beautiful, but better visited in July or August!

I can't recommend enough choosing NCL's Haven experience! As a first time cruise, the Haven exceeded all expectations. Having the courtyard and sundeck on the Jewel made it feel like we were at a spacious resort with so much space to spread out and relax.

I highly recommend this cruise line and cruise destination. The views and service was special!

The Alaskan cruise is a must do. Holland America does a great job and caters to the older passengers very well. Weather was ok but you need to have rain gear, warm clothing especially if you go in September.

This was my 2nd time in Alaska - each time was different - this was a fabulous experience! Weather cooperated for the day in Glacier Bay and again in Ketchikan - overall I would recommend this trip to anyone

This was our first visit to Alaska. The scenery was beautiful. The temperatures were great (since we traveled from hot Texas). The scheduled time in each port was good, and it gave us time to explore. The ship docked in very good and convenient locations in each port. One specialty restaurant (Canaletto) was located in the buffet area (Lido) which we thought was strange.

Gonna try the Carribean in the spring, giving Princess one more chance.

We choose this cruise because of the itinerary. Also because 30 years ago I had a great experience aboard Princess cruises. This time was different. Despite having been on at least 50 cruises, we found this ship very hard to navigate. The layout is just terrible and makes no sense. We also found the interior very kitsch, outdated and tacky. This ship was originally made for the Asian market and personally I don't believe it's sailing in the right territory. The crew however, was super friendly and professional. The little entertainment in the princess theater wasn't really spectacular, very amateuristic. We liked the different live lounge music performances by the wine bar. The nature lectures were excellent, we loved Mark Harris. Our cabin was obstructed view balcony room, but we had a great view The food was just alright, and the menu was a bit old fashioned. The Vancouver embarkation process was split in two parts; checking in with Princess was smooth, however the U.S. customs and border patrol after that was horrible and felt like cattle herding which took us over an hour. We had purchased the Princess Plus Package a year ago, but since then, Princess had changed the rules. For example the 2 fitness classes, were no longer included. So when I showed up for Yoga, I was refused because the package rules had now changed (other passengers had the same problem) We wouldn't sail with Princess again and we DO NOT RECOMMEND Princess because of this cruise. IMPO; the cruise company lost its charm since Carnival took ownership.

We had a fabulous time with great shore excursions and amazing service! The main issue we had was on the first day. Nobody could provide information about checking in for non United flights, and we did not have medallions as Princess refused to send them to my secondary address. We had difficulty connecting with our group member, and it was a very stressful start to the trip!
