Alaska - Inside Passage Cruise Reviews

First cruise with Royal Caribbean. It'll be my last. I can't believe I actually paid for that trip. Going to try a different company next trip.

Enjoyable. Royal Caribbean never fails. Food was great. Staff very attentive and friendly.

I think over all Royal Caribbean did a good job. I noticed the shortage of supplies and staffs. But overall comfort and service is still great.

Far below what I know for princess. This trip was truly disappointing. I have sailed Princess several times and if it had been my first, I wouldn't be back.

We had an amazing time because how can you not in Alaska? We are mid 40s and not Princess's demographic so some things were not our style but we still had tons of fun. Food was decent. But you go to Alaska for the ports and we had tons of time in each port which was a huge plus.

This was my second Royal Caribbean cruise and my first time to Alaska, and I can't wait to do both again. A overall 5-star excellent experience!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my cruise on the Eurodam and plan to take a second trip next year because Alaska is so beautiful and so much to see. I want a longer cruise

We have waited so long to do this cruise and to have it turn out so disastrous was just beyond anything we were expecting. So lacking in entertainment - and just nothing interesting to fill in the time. And then to add insult to injury, our luggage was lost. How can you lose luggage going from the room to the pick-up area? So much was lost in our luggage - and it is just devastating. Never again will we go Holland America.

This was the worst cruise I have been on, manager in guest service, giving huge attitude, food cold, told gluten free but not as had an ellergic reaction first day, paid for items not provided, ports shortened an hour cancelled many excursions.

Overall it was a wonderful cruise and experience. There was a lot of time at sea, which became pretty boring at times. I can't say enough about the service on the ship. It was the absolute best!

All in all better than the first but not as good as expected. Should have been discounted.

Being on the Bliss was a great experience! Food and meeting staff from different countries was remarkable. Entertainment seemed limited but did participate in events like Bingo, Art Auction, Jersey Boys and Beatle Revival, limited gambling and giveaways. Talking with Ryan the Port Shopper was nice but appeared to be just for promotional purposes since we couldn't collect on his grand prize giveaway of a Tanzanite pendant unless we booked our next cruise, which I would not rather do with Norwegian. Norwegian got too big that their own staff didn't know what to expect, and to be given a map that didn't tell us we'd be 5 miles out of Ketchiken because they built their own port was unforgivable! Internet access even after purchasing additional was slow, of course no cell phone reception even if we in the U.S. didn't help trying to call for our own taxi, which staff was useless with so many. Cultural differences play a huge part in staffing as well as passengers, we should all learn to respect one another and learn to enjoy and not judge! I will never take the first Cruise ship to anywhere again!

It was an okay value for a cruise. Having been on other lines, I felt like NCL was finding little ways to squeeze more money out of me. The fees on the “everything included” package added hundreds more to the price. With specialty dining taking up prime viewing locations on the ship, it means either you squeeze into the observation lounge with the rest of the ship or pay to get a little peace and quiet. I think it’s a nice experience for some, but my personality prefers more decorum and respect for personal space. I probably would have done better in the Haven, but it cost thousands more for a room. The staff were exceptional. The food was beautifully prepared.

NCL is doing a fantastic job - the ship is beautifully designed, many activities to choose from, food is delicious, and the service top notch! Soon as we can, we are planning our next NCL cruise. As Latitudes members, we were pleasantly surprised and delighted with our gifts!

Great first cruise for me! Already booked on the Prima!

This trip to Alaska was on my bucket list. NCL did not disappoint. The Encore is a beautiful ship with wonderful staff. The food was exceptional. A 5-star hotel on water. Couldn't have asked for anything better.

Glad I went but the ship is dated, offerings on board are limited for a cruise that may keep one inside due to weather, I didnt plan to have to be on a moving mall. No interesting on board activities ... staff were preoccupied with the fact this was a last cruise for the season and rather detached from service.

We had a magnificent time and so happy that cruising is back. If you’re thinking of doing a quick cruise this one is a not to miss! The crew staff were friendly, helpful, attentive and overall one of the best crew staff we’ve had while cruising.

Overall was a great first time get away after 18 months looking at the same four walls! Room Steward, Gede, was absolutely the best! All the crew stayed masked and were very friendly.

This cruise was a fantastic return to cruising. We enjoyed every minute.
