Terrible customer service on phone and many on ship. Older ship, needs updating. Room had an odor. Carpet, bedakirt and outlets outdated. It needs a good overhaul. Food subpar. Not much for gluten and dairy free options. They were not enthused about my food intolerances and ut ahowes. Karoke outdated. App disn't work half of my cruise. Wifi overall good but sometimes hard to connect to.. They ...

We had taken an Alaskan cruise on Princess back in 2019 and wanted to take our grown children and their spouses on one because it was so wonderful. I had shared all my excitement with our kids and talked them into trying a Princess Cruise. I was embarrassed as to how this cruise came nowhere near lining up in any way with what I had promised them based on our previous one. Don't know if I'll take ...

Great scenery and trip but the ship was subpar

We took a cruise from Whittier, AK to Vancouver. Loved the scenery throughout the trip and being able to travel through Glacier Bay. Going to Glacier Bay and our scheduling window was the primary reason we chose the Grand Princess instead of a Royal Caribbean ship. The Grand Princess felt very old overall. They had "upgraded" our room to a rear balcony instead of the port side room we had booked ...

We chose this Cruisetour because we had a great experience when we went in 2014. This time we met with disappointment after disappointment! The price was $4,000 more than what we paid before; customer service all along the way was lacking; our hotel room at the Denali Princess resort was filthy; the food on the land portion was OK at best - with the exception of the Kenai Princess Lodge, where ...

Interesting - Good Ports! Great on board service! But a HOT MESS (MedallionNet - doesn’t work) - Peeping Steward.

Can I just start by questioning why Princess has the MedallionNet app and medallions? We have used these for a few years with Princess (March 2020, November 2021, February 2022, and now July 2022) and have had the same experience each time. From the pre boarding information never being retained. To the medallions and the internet rarely working on board the boats. If this were in its infancy ...

*Hour wait to get on ship in Whittier, poorly organized *Rooms at McKinley & Denali were like camping or hunting *Hotel Captain Cook was excellent and restaurants were superb *Salmon Berry Tours is excellent in Anchorage *Train ride to Whittier was long, be prepared. No water for purchase *Excursion issues in two cities: Train in front of us derailed for the White Pass Scenic ...

A little disheveled

The cabin was fine, and the cabin steward did a good job. Nothing special except ice - no towels folded into animals, for example. The food was medicre, except for pizza and hamburgers, which were very good. The dining room food, though, clearly showed efforts at cost cutting - New York strip steaks were a little on the tough side, for example, and I think that the scallops were not scallops, ...

Chose a connoisseur land/cruise tour based on advice from travel agent and brochures. Amenities not as stated in the brochures. Cruise did not meet our expectations. Length 7 days. Embarkation and disembarkation ok until you get to lengthy customs. Ship entertainment very sparse at best. Not as stated online and in the brochures. Only 2 short shows the whole week. Nothing for 19-21 ...

Below average customer service

In comparison to other cruises that we have taken, there were some obvious similarities as well as differences. Some services were great, some weren't. I will break it down (We took 7 day cruise with Coral Princess from Whittier to Vancouver). Embarkation/ Disembarkation: We boarded from Whittier, Alaska which is a fairly small port. Ours was the only ship. Luggage drop off and check in was ...

28th Princess cruise and I think it's the last

Recently cruised 7 days Anchorage to Vancouver. I could hardly believe the poor food in the buffet, often lukewarm and poor quality, mostly stews it seemed. But the worst was the lack of cleanliness. Railings were shiny on top but I usually avoid the top rail because every other person has touched it. The 2nd row was almost always a sticky mess.This is not acceptable. Buffet on sister ...
