Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Restaurants onboard were 5 star! We ate at salty dogs 3 times! We ate at the Crown Grill for our aniversay and had some of the best steak cuts we've ever had. Share was amazing! The service was exceptional and truly some of the most unique dishes we've ever had.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Thought the restaurants were beautiful! Interior of hallways/rooms somewhat dated

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Room was very clean and spacious. It was directly across from muster station. Interior is sonewhated dated. Loved the balcony size just wish it was covered like all over balconies

Ship tip

Our tip would be to pay the little extra for specialty dining it's so worth it! Also do room service! We had breakfast on our balcony almost every morning. They were so fast and organized it was wonderful

Ports of call

Seattle, Washington

5 out of 5

Ketchikan, Alaska

5 out of 5
Loved it! Watching all the seaplanes land right outside our balcony was amazing!

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5
The northstar trekking Glacier walkabout was one of the coolest things we've ever done!

Skagway, Alaska

4 out of 5
Our excursion was canceled because of the weather but we were able easily exchange it for another one on the dock. We ended up doing the whitepass rail ride which was unreal! The views were amazing and we still had time to check out the town afterward and see a ton of spawning salmon

Victoria, British Columbia

5 out of 5
We fell in love with this town. We will definitely be back one day

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Again very organized and much faster than we thought it would be. Still can't believe they got that much luggage off the boat in such an organized way. We literally grabbed our luggage and walked straight out to waiting cabs.

This was the Tracy Arm Fjord Alaskan cruise AntB. I'm glad I've further inspired you to book an Alaskan cruise Sarah! It truly is such an amazing experience! We really don't understand the negative reviews Gil. We're pretty picky and I have to say it was outstanding in every way!

Glad you had such a nice cruise on the Emerald Princess. The last few reviews on this site have been pretty negative concerning other lines. NICE to read a positive, happy cruiser - thanks to Princess!
