7 Night Inside Passage With Glacier Bay National Park (Seattle Roundtrip)

Ship: Crown Princess

Review summary

This was our first cruise and we are very disappointed. Princess said the ship was under maintenance and cut all of our port time down and eliminated Ketchikan. The weather is not their fault but it was rainy and gray most of the trip and we had severe seas where probably half the ship and crew got sick. Thankfully I had brought Dramamine but wanted to buy more and they had run out. This was a very disappointing and expensive trip

We were supposed to go to catch a cat not icy points. There was not much there and it was a disappointment.

Victoria, British Columbia

When we got to Victoria it was over an hour before we were able to get off the ship like every Wednesday in line to. So we missed over an hour of our a short time in Victoria Butchart gardens and did not go to the butterfly exhibit at all

You just happened to be on a ship with mechanical issues. Can't judge all cruises by that bad luck.
