Flamingo15 Posted July 24, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I'm researching Alaska cruises for a group trip next summer, will be doing a land/sea tour. I've read the reviews for various cruise lines individually from cruisers plus what travel editors have written. Can anyone compare Princess and NCL for Alaska, have you been on both?

marco Posted July 24, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 24, 2016 We've done Princess and HAL to Alaska. Both have been doing cruise/land tours there for a long time and both offer a similar and very good (IMO) product. Both offer a large variety of land tour options. We've been on NCL a few times but only once since they became "Freestyle". Not so happy with the onboard experience but can't voice an opinion on Alaska land tour packages.

gooch47 Posted July 24, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Princess four times, RCI once, our latest. RCI did not stop in Ketchikan. Only Juneau and Skagway. My travel agent (my husband LOL) did not notice this when he booked the cruise. We didhave a full day in Victoria where the similar Princess cruise was only there for a few hours. We did the land tours twice. We probably wouldn't do one again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooch47 Posted July 24, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Sorry. Didn't notice you were asking about Princess vs. NCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted July 24, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Welcome to Cruise Critic. We have done Alaska quite a few times -- HAL, Princess and NCL. NCL was our least favorite. HAL and Princess have been in the Alaskan business the longest and they both have great land options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewthamm Posted July 25, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Thought I would jump in on this thread also. Looking for options on RCL or Princess to Alaska from Seattle. Have done one Princess cruise many years ago, and have been on Royal most recently. Also looking for the best company to book through. For our last two trips, we have not had to find the best agent for booking. Edited July 25, 2016 by matthewthamm Added question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I could help, but our two have been on Regent and Silversea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
