AlaskaCruise

My family is in a very difficult situation, and I am hoping someone may know of a solution we have not considered. My grandparents organized a family Alaska cruise as a special trip for all of their grandchildren. The cruise is a Princess Cruises itinerary that departs from and...

I recently booked an Alaska cruise with Silversea departing May 28 and paid the full fare of about $40,000. The cruise consultant I initially dealt with was very helpful and responsive. At the time of booking, I also agreed to purchase travel insurance and asked them to charge...

My only cruise experience so far has been with Disney Cruise Line, which I took with my wife and our 2-year-old child. It was an excellent experience and set a very high expectation for what cruising is like in general. For my next trip, my wife and I are planning an Alaska...

I’m going on an Alaskan cruise next month on the Emerald, departing from Vancouver, and trying to figure out how much US cash I should carry. I’ve already got Princess Plus and prepaid gratuities, so most things should be covered. My plan is to use a credit card with no foreign...

This is such a tough choice honestly. On one hand, the newer ship with all the nicer amenities and adults-only areas sounds amazing, especially for a sisters trip. That kind of comfort does make a difference for a full week. But Glacier Bay feels like one of those “this is why...

My family is planning a Princess Alaska cruise and I’m trying to figure out if this setup is going to cause issues. My parents very generously offered to pay for the whole trip. The group will be my parents, my brother and his wife, my sister and her husband, their 9 year old...

My dad and I are doing our first cruise this summer on the Emerald Princess, roundtrip from Vancouver. I wanted to take him because he’s getting older and has always wanted to do an Alaska cruise. We booked an interior cabin and the cruise fare was about $1900 CAD for both of...

Was looking at the 7-day thermal suite pass on an upcoming Alaska cruise with Princess. It sounded like a nice way to relax during the trip, especially on sea days. But when I checked with customer service they said the $149 pass only gives you one 15-minute slot per day....

We’re doing a one way Inside Passage cruise to Whittier and our flight out of Anchorage isn’t until midnight. Looks like we’ll have roughly 12 hours to fill. Right now I booked the transfer straight to ANC, but that probably means sitting at the airport all day. Not even sure if...

Sailing Royal Princess to Alaska and the dining options are kind of overwhelming for a first timer. We already booked one specialty restaurant and one night of room service. But I keep seeing people mention MDR, buffet, pizza, sushi, etc and I’m not totally sure how it all fits...

Going on my first cruise in July to Alaska (19f) and my grandma told me Princess is kind of a formal cruise line. Is it actually dressy all the time? Or just certain nights? I dress pretty alternative day to day, but I can dress up if needed. Just don’t want to pack super fancy...
