Amazing Whale Watching and Sightseeing Cruise by jbaumann33

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Star Princess / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

This is definitely the cruise to take for amazing sightseeing. We saw so many whales on this cruise. The great thing about this Princess cruise is that they announce whale sightings. I could sit all day and see so many whales.

Vetry nice for one of the larger ships by scottandjo

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Joy / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

Large ship required reservations for almost everything, not in line with our freestyle likes but overall a nice ship with a great itinerary. Saw lots of beautiful scenery and wild life. The service on the ship was top notch. I highly recommend this cruise to any and all who are interested in Alaska.

Breathtaking by menmuir3

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Ovation of the Seas / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

We've always been a cruise lover; however, not so much anymore. There are SO MANY fees/extra expenses that it's better to go to an all-inclusive resort where everything is included. I would definitely go back to Alaska though. It was an amazing trip overall. I also wouldn't go on another cruise with younger children. That was NO fun. The parents come on cruises and let their kids just run free and disrupt every area they are in. If we do another cruise, we will do an adult-only cruise.

Don’t waste your money by Lissette2019

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Celebrity Solstice / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

If you want to go on a cruise where you can relax, enjoy nature, go on excursions on the glaciers, water rafting, view whales and just catch up on some R&R, go to Alaska!! If you want to go to Alaska and feel like it was worth the cost, travel Princess.

Well run ship with lots to do. by ski126

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Joy / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

Better than most cruises. Very refreshing change from beach destination type cruises. Ship was beautiful and well laid out. Way more positives than negatives, Crew was also a step above average cruise ship crew.

Lots to like but this cruise fell short by fishmanjeffva

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Joy / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

Wanted to experience Alaska and left feeling dissatisfied. Surely a better itinerary could have been conjured up. Food on ship was not vacation worthy. Other lines try much harder. Cabin was good, friends on board, excellent staff efforts made it okay, though. But we are not encouraged to return to NCL.

Fun ship in the inner passage by ecot2016

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Bliss / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

Highly recommend a cruise to Alaska. Need to see these glaciers before they completely recede, the natural wildlife, mountains, rainforest trails, and daylight until 11pm. Summer is a great time to go. Remember to dress warm (have layers) and be ready for rain so you can enjoy. Loved the ships’ amenities and entertainment for our teenagers as well as for my husband and I. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A beautiful getaway by Cruiser6954890

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Joy / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

Everything was perfect. The only thing I would change would be making the hot tub much hotter. The food was good and the ice cream was a daily hit.

Great experience, overall cruise is great. Some staff were rude, most are very helpful. by jujuratana

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Celebrity Solstice / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

I think Celebrity has a great staffs and trained their staff well on manner. However, we anticipated couple problem with some staff in dining room, guest relation and the securities staffs during getting off on a port. 1. First the staff on the 14th floor spoke rudely to me when I went and filled my water bottle on the water drinking machine. I admitted I didn't see the sticker saying I can't bring container to fill water, or if my mother -in-laws saw it she wouldn't be able to read the English as she speak little English. When one staff saw me did that, he walked to me and said in a rude voice "You can't do that!". He spoke to me as I wasn't a value customer on the ship. I could imagine if it were the chief of the dining room ( the french looking guy wearing tie at all time, and always stood there on the deck 14th), he would have at least said it softly with the "Madam" in the front, or with an "excuse me". I was so upset we got into couple sentence of argument and he walked away. This considering very bad experience for me. And when I told my aunt who is a US citizen, she said he discriminated me. ( that guy also an asian ethic, more Filipino looking), I didn't catch his name, but remember his face clearly. 2. Another staff on guest relation was being irritated. I came in to ask her to transfer the on-board credit from one room to mine. I did that a day earlier with another guy who was super friendly and helpful, he did the same process within 5 minutes without any issue. While with this woman, Iveta is her name, she was trying to make the process more difficult then it should be. She had me wait for 3 minutes while she strolled along and tried to find the paper forms. I told her I didn't need a form to do the transfer the day before, she spoke with her cold face without any smiling and said "But this is the right procedure.". So I admitted and waited for her. She finally found the form, had me fill it in and once I did I asked her when will the process be done. Her answer was "I have to give it to my accountant." I asked her again, "So what time will it be done, can you tell me , morning or afternoon?", she answered "During today." I asked again "Ok, will it be done by the end of today?? My mom would need that credit for shopping on the ship". She answered "During today." I got upset so I said to her "That isn't really helpful, but Thank you!" and I walked away. I told my husband what happened he was pissed and came back to the counter where Iveta was disappeared. Another girl was trying to help us when my husband insisted on speaking to the manager, she denied to call a manager and said she might be able to help. A minute later Iveta walked back, my husband said to another lady that Iveta hasn't been helpful at all and tried to irritate me on purpose. She made the process harder that it should be and the way she answer my questions was a very bad guest relation. She hasn't been train properly obviously. She just calmly said with her cold face "It will be done in 5 minutes I already gave it to the accountant!" I was even more furious and said " So Why didn't you said so when I tried to ask you when it will be done?" She said "You didn't tell me you need it quick, if so, I will do it. " ???? Is this acceptable in your opinion? Why would I kept asking when the process be finish if I didn't want it done soon? This girl made your ship staff fall from 5-3 stars, but I felt bad for the rest of good staff I changed it to 4 stars. Tea and Polina were great and helpful and I wrote her a great reviews. Iveta? You better think what to do with her. She shouldn't be on guest relation.
