11 day Alaska Land/Sea Tour-Denali National Park My significant other wanted to see Glacier Bay and this was the main reason we took this cruise along with seeing Denali. It was an omen-we got to OAK 2 1/2 hrs early. Gate change and we missed our flight. Someone was trying to tell us something! Unfortunately, we got booked on a later flight. Saw Denali.... Fast forward to the cruise-upon ...

To be fair the Holland America Alaskan Cruise trip was very nice. However, the process and the people you had to deal with to start the cruise were prohibitively painful.. First of all we understand that Holland America is short staffed and their people are under trained. However, almost no one has authority or the desire to help others or to do the right thing. There is an old adage that I ...

Our even dinner experience was terriable. We have cruised this ship several times and really enjoyed it. However this time the food was not up to par, the service was awful. If you wanted drinks you waited for ever to get them. I always look forward to lobster night and get two. Got my first one, over cooked, cold and had to get up and go ask for the butter for it. The bought me another lobster ...

Inadequate and incompetent staffing, false promises and mistreatment of passengers

Thought we would be on a well-prepared fun cruise which turned into a nightmare because of staff shortages, false promises made and changed every day, no workable plans for Covid outbreak and general mistreatment of infected patients. In my wife's room she could not get phones to dial. Room service for food was a joke. They were late getting meals, and the order was never correct. All the ...

Princess Cruises had a great reputation, and our travel agent recommended them for Alaska. Things didn't turn out as expected: 1. During the land portion of our trip to Alaska, we stayed in three different inns, one of which was the Mount McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge. We had many problems opening our room door with our room key at the lodge, for which we asked for assistance from hotel ...

Very Deceptive advertising of Route - Don't sail this ship to Alaska

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

My wife and I were on the Referenced sailing from Anchorage to Vancouver. While the amenities and service were ok, the itinerary compared to the marketing materials were very deceiving. We were looking forward to our first cruise vacation but came away very disappointed. Princess hasn't had the courtesy to respond to this issue I presented to them in writing (Princess if you are out ...

Wow. Horrible. Bad food, bad service as a simple summary. Lots of whales sighted though (both at sea and at the buffet). Comically bad waiters sticking our menus into our food. Several meals in the dining room were not really edible so had to chase that meal with a visit to the buffet in the hopes of something better than “hot dog pineapple salad”. (No, I didn’t make that up). The ...

Sub par cruise line inaccurately marketing itself as a premiere cruise line

The food is less than desirable. You will want to EAT at PORT as much as you can. I had Anytime dining and tried the main dining rooms and Allegro for breakfast. The food overall is bland, and I did not take more than a bite or two from anything I tried for dinner. The main dining rooms were so disappointing I figured the specialty dining rooms had to be better, so I tried Sabatini’s. While ...

Travel agent recommended it for our Alaskan cruise. Embankment was the worst. Had to arrange own way to Whittier to board ship when many were shuttled from Airport. We were not on their list of eligible travelers. They could not tell us why. The dock was a mad house with people pushing and shoving to get their luggage to the Shore-man. It was raining. The climb to the boat was steep and the ...

I have been on 10 + cruises and I have to say the was my worst experience. Smoking; The ship needs to update their smoking policies. News flash to Princess most people don't smoke! Half the Casino is smoking with no physical divider. For this reason we did not gamble along with many people I chatted with. The Promenade jogging/walking exercise deck 7 is actually the smoking deck. It is ...
