Seward to Alaska Cruise Reviews

My sister and I were excited to experience Alaska, and we especially wanted to see whales and the beautiful scenery. This was my first cruise as a Platinum Latitude member. Expedited embarkation was excellent. The behind the scenes tour was great. Loved having the additional specialty dining meals and the free bottle of wine. We took the transfer from the Anchorage airport to the Seward cruise ...

My first time on a cruise. Booked in April, 2023. Two weeks before we are about to start our one-week land tour, RC had to cancel the 9-1 sail due to "propulsion issues". Then one week before we start our land tour, RC cancelled the 9-8 sail due to the same "propulsion issue". We fly out on 9-9 for the land tour, not knowing AT ALL if there is a 9-15 sail. I think we were notified on 9-13 or 9-14 ...

When it came time to book our very first cruise, we researched everything we could...dining options, entertainment, onboard amenities, itineraries...and we decided that NCL offered what we wanted. Freestyle dining? Yes please! Wide range of entertainment including Broadway shows? Heck yeah! Interesting itineraries? Yep, lots to choose from. Sadly, much of what led us to NCL is no longer ...

I've read the many post-pandemic reviews and am stumped at the negative experiences these reviewers reported. I thought this Celebrity cruise was wonderful. I've been to Alaska several times before. I chose this cruise in order to see Hubbard Glacier and Icy Strait Point. The latter was a new destination for me. I started the trip with a 5 hour train ride from Anchorage to Seward, where the ...

As first times cruisers, we had selected Viking based on our research. And now we know why Viking is ranked a top cruise line. All the arrangements for travel, onboarding, excursions were handled with utmost precision. Viking excelled at providing concise and timely details pertaining to our cruise. We were pleased with the variety of excursions planned during the cruise. And during the sailing ...

We had just retired and wanted a trip to decompress from owning a business, and was lucky enough to book this trip on short notice. The excursions were well organized, the ship had a lot of activities everyday that were well published. The food was top knotch, the bars were scenic and convenient. The Norfic spa was flat out amazing, with big heated pool, hot tubs, sauna, steam room, ice room, ...

The cruise was outstanding. Meals were excellent. Cruise ship was immaculate. Enjoyed this cruise immensely. Viking is more expensive but no extra cost on the ship and includes a lot that other cruise ships charge for. The Prestine Alaska pre-cruise tour was great. 2 days in Fairbanks, 2 days in Denali, 2 days in Talkeetna and 2 days in Seward.This included most meals and several excursions. ...

The SilverSea experience was poor, very poor. Starting with the booking experience. The “consultant” provided no guidance, information or value. Matter of fact, I would have been better off if there was an online booking option. As an example, we ended up booking a $500 transfer from Anchorage to Seward because we weren’t told about no cost SilverSea transport options. Then the ...

We chose this cruise because our travel agent talked up the service. What a disappointment! First our return business class air is a disaster. We will have over 12 hours in Vancouver with a red eye to Newark then a five hour layover to get to Philadelphia. We could drive to Philly from Newark faster. For the price of the cruise we shouldn’t have to pay an up charge to get these crappy flights ...
