Alaska - Inside Passage Cruise Reviews

Great stops with plenty of options for activities. A little overwhelmed by options of activities on board the ship but a great variety. Victoria, Canada was beautiful just wish we had been there earlier in the day.

Unfortunately, there were a lot of problems with the ship from engine failure which caused the ship to limp at half speed and had several port changes as a result which was disappointing. Also, there were plumbing problems. It was a very old crowd. There was not a lot to do on the ship and with the cold weather, couldn't use the pool or lay out on deck plus most of the on-deck activities were down or not useable due to the weather. Overall, it was ok. I wouldn't do an Alaska cruise again for another 10 or 15 years since I prefer the sun and beach plus the newer ships are a lot nicer. The cruise industry should build ships specifically for cold weather tours instead of using a ship designed for hot weather in cold weather environments.

The ship was not ready for sailing but Princess sailed anyway

We received an email 8 days before departure that the ship had major mechanical problems and could only go half speed. This changed everything. Long times at sea and very short time in ports. When we got to our room there was a notice that we would not go Juneau or Icy Strait. They gave us $100 and 20% FCC. Alaska is beautiful. Avoid the Crown!

Very disappointed and hurt after itinerary was changed 5 times before and after we were onboard. Also our best excursions were either changed or canceled altogether. Did not port at Juaneau one of the most important port. Only ported at two out of the four originally set. A lot of mine to stay on ship and eat. We could have done that at a hotel. My lifetime dream of an Alaskan cruise turned into a nightmare!! Never again Princess cruises!!!!

This is our first cruise ever and it won't be our last. It was a good experience even though we had weather that disrupted our plans. The food was mostly good. I also liked that there were sit down restaurants that were not part of the specialty dining. The staff started singing outside the Garden Cafe which was delightful. Our room steward was perfect. As I just wanted to relax, I didn't avail myself of the activities onboard but will certainly do so next time. One drawback was the internet package. Although I was told (onboard) that different devices can be used one at a time, it wasn't true. And the internet was sketchy and not all links could be loaded. The line for the guest services can be quite long and you cannot combine your onshore excursion request with guest service request, so in the end you have to wait in both lines. I gave up on the next cruise or cruise next line also.

We went with 4 other couples. What a great vacation. Became closer friends in a great atmosphere on the ship and enjoying the experiences at multiple ports. Bliss Alaska Rocks!

I'd definitely do Alaska again, but in a much smaller boat. I will do Norwegian again. We like the free style approach. I would gladly do The Bliss again, but in a Tropical climate.

All personnel were efficient, professional, happy, charming, extremely hard working. The cruise hit the South East towns that were enjoyable, whales were everywhere, saw ice bergs, many other wildlife. It was a too short of a trip!

Brand new crew; very polite but not very knowledgeable. Nice ship; clean; well maintained. Nice buffet area. Not enough entertainment options. No internet access. TV home screen with ship information would have been better if it had shown the ship's navigation and ETA's.

Alaska is worth visiting. Beautiful landscapes. Friendly people

Had a great time. but I really don't like having to put in 50 characters just to submit my review.

The cruise and the ship were all great the vacation was good. Learn a very important lesson look with the company directly do not go through Delta SkyMiles as they are more interested in the sale than actually helping the customer.

Scenic trip would have been better on a different cruise line.

We have cruised with Viking before, we will probably go back with them. The RCC was a good price and we gave it a try, we were patient and knew it was the first sail. Had I paid a premium price for this trip I would have been very disappointed.

The ship is a mess, the entire 9th floor didn’t have hot water for days. Our room had major issues including the heat not working and either going full blast and turning our room into a sauna, or blowing cold air and turning our room into a freezer. For 4 days we had to deal with that until it was fixed. Room service food was awful and one morning it didn’t even show up at all. Other times when it did it was at least twice as long as they said it would be and cold when it arrived. Other food on the ship was truly disgusting. Bread so hard you couldn’t cut through it. Rotten vegetables. Poorly seasoned food. Lobster bisque with no lobster. And don’t even get me started on the buffet…. The worst food quality I’ve ever seen on any ship. And I’ve been on carnival ships.

Most enjoyable cruise I have been on! It was the first Celebrity cruise for me. Alaska was beautiful. One excursion was canceled due to weather. Another excursion was canceled because a woman went overboard and we arrived late at the port. Entertainment and food onboard was excellent. Attended the behind the scenes tour of the ship and the hot shop class. Our cabin was kept immaculate! Highly recommend!

Highly recommend for couples or even by yourself! We met lots of people on this cruise that came by their self! It was just the best trip!

Overall, I am so so unhappy with Royal Carribean. I shouldn't have paid what I did for a training cruise when a lot rode for free. Also I mentioned above half of the problems. It was like a retirement on that cruise ship. It was my husbands first one and now I have to convince them they all are not so terrible

Ship was great. Wait staff great. Food selection and taste was not good. Need to work on that.
