Alaska - Inside Passage Cruise Reviews

Overall, this cruise was very good. Princess does a lot of things very well and we enjoyed the ship and Alaska. Since Discovery Princess is new, we felt that the staff was still learning the ship and their responsibilities, and this showed up most noticeably in the main dining rooms. However, the service in the buffet was excellent. This was our second Princess cruise, and we would absolutely take another Princess cruise.

This Alaskan cruise out of Seattle was overall pretty good. I did come home with Covid though, but the discovery princess is a good ship. The cabins are very roomy, and very clean. the whole ship was very clean. The food in the dining room was not too good. The French Bistro restaurant was great! The Crown Grill was very good! The Salty Dog Grill is a waste of money as it is not good at all. The buffet okay. The buffet has some what of a different theme every night some better than others. Of course they saved the best for the last day in the buffet. Princess no longer puts chocolates in the cabin at night. The medallions are neat. The princess app works very slowly. The glacier viewing was not great on this cruise, we did not get very close to the glaciers. I now understand why it is better to do the Alaskan on a smaller ship. We were told Glacier Bay was much better for glacier viewing. We cruised the Endicott Arm from 5 to 8 AM. The entertainment on this ship is not very good at all. We used the Seattle Express to get back to the airport from the cruise terminal. I set up the baggage transfer online before the cruise with the port valet, however I found out that will not happen unless you fill out the paperwork again on the ship, so I don't advise signing up online because the port valet apparently does not communicate with the ship regarding the luggage handling.

We had a great time, I'd recommend the cruise line, the ship and the trip to anyone interested in a cruise vacation. A great experience on a new cruise company than I've used in the past. I will definitely consider cruising with Norwegian Cruise Lines again.

It was a bucket list cruise and it was well worth it! Capt Leo got us so close to the glaciers it was amazing.

This was by far the best cruise we have been on so far. We have not one complaint. The service, food, activities, cleanliness, ports, sea days, were all 5 stars. We loved it and will definitely take this cruise again. Thank you.

Food was great, ALL of the staff was phenomenal. Sitka I felt was a waste of time but Juneau and Ketchikan was nice. Not going to Hubbard Glacier was a major bummer. Music Venture and CBJ Band was incredible.

Go on this cruise. It is wonderful. The scenery is breath taking and the ports and excursions are amazing.

Princess is still working the kinks out from COVID but in general, Princess is much better than any other cruise line we have been on.

Do not purchase any excursion packages from NCL… choose another ship to visit Alaska..

This was our first cruise to Alaska, the port stops in Alaska were short due to the distance and travel time between stops. The scenery was better than we expected, so much unencumbered by development. Anxious to go again but for a longer cruise and perhaps a land portion included next time.

Views are fabulous on this cruise. Would have liked to get closer at Dawes glacier but boat could not. Haven is definitely worth the money for a relaxing time.

Hard to put the whole trip into words. Over a year of preparation, the cross country travel to get there with such a large group, the experience of even getting on the vessel and the week long destination before having to round it all back on the return trip. A memorable life experience is the simplest way to put it. My only real complain was not even the fault of the trip itself; not getting to see the northern lights. I will just have to try again another.. decade or so to prepare another trip!

While the views were gorgeous and the service was superb, the ship was rather old and lacked amenities that together with pricey events and smaller ports of call, created a lot of free time spent not doing much.

Beautiful Cruise, but make sure you don't have a balcony directly below a deck that extends out past the ship.

Staff was wonderful. Cabin steward and waiters went out of their way to be helpful. Everything was kept Very Clean and there were hand sanitation dispensers everywhere.

Cruise was nice. Weather was perfect and staff were exceptional.

A great cruise to see Alaska and to enjoy the glaciers, waterfall and salmon.

The mountains and glaciers were spectacular. Ship was very safe and clean. The staff was exceptional

Wonderful experience. Alaska truly a beautiful place to visit. The crew very friendly and helpful. I appreciated the fact that all crew members wore masks. Of course they are trying to keep at bay covid so they can work, but shows they are concerned for health of passengers as well.

This was my 13th cruise and my 9th with Norwegian. I was very disappointed with the experience overall. The ships are too crowded and the efficiency with the crowds is diminishing. I don't like being a lemming when on vacation and Norwegian made me feel like a lemming. The room itself was very nice however the ship layout, the activities and the speciality restaurants were sub par.
