Alaska - Inside Passage Cruise Reviews

Great first way to visit Alaska. Excellent service, amenities, food, beverage, and entertainment. Excursion helped give a a view of Alaska.

Alaska cruise was on our bucket list. I believe our expectation were too high to see the Alaska we were looking for. However, thought we would have had a good food experience, theatre, etc on a big ship and this too was a disappointment. Never had this with Celebrity. Probably our last time in Alaska and unfortunately our last time with Celebrity, a line we used to love. And this survey has me giving this cruise a 3.7 but it was more ,Iike a 3-

The thing I most disliked was the rank commercialism all around. I was appalled that unless I spent $5.50 on a bottle of water in my cabin, there was no potable water unless I went to the buffet 4 flights up. EVERYTHING is ridiculously expensive.....$20 for a cocktail plus 20% surcharge. WiFi also very expensive. Extra charge (up to $50!) to eat at a "specialty" restaurant. And even though I ate at the buffet most nights, I was charged $18 tip per night for the other restaurant meals. I was not interested in most of the activities onboard....trivia games and other silly stuff. And the captain and cruise director talked way too much and were often too cute by half. And the ports were (of course) overrun by huge crowds. On the positive side, the musicians onboard were excellent. And of course, Alaska is stunningly beautiful and cruising is a good way to see some amazing sights.

This was a fabulous trip with truly the best staff ever experienced on a cruise! We highly recommend Alaska and this cruise line.

Overall this was a good trip for us. There was a delay and the first couple days the ship was rocking a lot! There were a lot of sick people on the ship. But we did see a lot of great scenery and ate a lot of good food.

Had it not been for the terrible Allegro dining room experience it would have been a great cruise.

Overall.....premier package we thought was worth it, although the wi-fi isn't the best if you want to do wi-fi calling (it sometimes work, sometimes, doesn't). Alaska was beautiful and relaxing. Worth the trip.

A cruise is to relax and enjoy a location different than where you live. Do what suits you and you will be glad you did it.

Awful ship. Not accommodating to older people and people with handicaps or disabilities. Didn't even have closed captioning available on the TV. Smoking area was a disgrace. There was no ventilation at all and they would not allow us to keep the door open. This was my first cruise ever and will also be my last.

We will never do an NCL cruise again. The food is terrible and doesn't match the areas you are visiting. Forget having any kind of food from Alaska. The service is lacking, your drinks will rarely get refilled, and you may not even get them at all. The ports are all the same and definitely NOT the real Alaska you would see. Just do NOT bother with NCL please go to another cruise line.

Great cruise. Loved it would do it again. Already recommend it to family and friends.

I guess if you like food and a lot drinking, it's not a bad deal, but I'm a wine drinker and not a heavy hard liquor guy. Again, had to cover a lot of sea to get from place-to-place so it was pretty much a boat ride.

Wonderful cruise. We really enjoyed every minute. The exception was the Ketchikan port of call. NCL needs to inform passengers of the bus situation there so they can get out early and enjoy the city.

We traveled with 4 generations across 11 people. The ship is definitely more geared towards the retirement crowd. The scenery was absolutely stunning but wish we had more information on self guided trails and nature walks at each port of call. I was quite disappointed by the amount of upselling throughout the entire cruise. I understand the need to make money but it was frustrating feeling like we paid for a trip yet were still being sold to every corner we turned. From the daily pamphlets in our stateroom pushing jewelry sales to the servers pushing beverages. If you're expecting more outdoor activities without going on excursions (we felt like the excursions were too long to take our toddler on), I'd highly recommend doing research about each port before your trip. We did end up getting some service in Skagway and found a few trails on Alltrails. For families with young kids, we traveled with our toddler (22months). We brought our own pack and play (guava lotus) and it fit in front of the loveseat after we asked to remove the coffee table (we were in a VA room on deck 4). We were still able to access our balcony without issue. The rooms have blackout curtains. In terms of activities, the kids club doesn't allow kids under 3. If your toddler is willing to be worn, I'd highly recommend a packable carrier (I got one off amazon from boba air). It was great for short hikes and naps on the go.

Choppy waters, but smooth sailing! Holland America was first class all the way.

good family cruise...............................................................................................................

We had a wonderful experience for our first Celebrity cruise. The destination was definitely worth the money and we would 100% repeat the experience. I would not, however, book through BJ's again, as they did not deliver on the promised perks. When transferring the booking from Celebrity to BJ's, we were told we would receive the perks offered by and by Celebrity. That was untrue.

This is a bucket list adventure. Say yes to everything and enjoy every moment because it goes by fast. While the indescribable majesty of Alaska stands very much on its own, Celebrity Edge managed to make it even better. Service, food, elegance, and ease of everything made this Celebrity adventure a once-in-a-lifetime event...that we hope to repeat!

We have been bragging about the EDGE since we returned home

NOT "NOT" ENOUGH BANG FOR THE DOLLAR, SAGWAY WAS NOTHING, TRACY ARM FJORD, NOTHING WAS THERE, NOT MUCH ICE. NOT ENOUGHT TIME IN GOOD PORTS LIKE "VICTORIA BRITISH COLUMBIA".
