- Now that we've finished our 2023 Princess Cruise in Alaska we wanted to make a video giving you all of our thoughts. What was great? What wasn't so great? Would we do it again? In today's video we're talking about the Grand Princess ship, our stateroom, the food, entertainment, service on board and much more!

Try a mini suite on your next Princess cruise. There’s thick curtains separating the bed area from the living room/balcony area. You can have them open during the day, and close them at night. It really helps with the light 😎 (I hate light when I’m sleeping)
My husband and I just got off the Royal Princess on Saturday! Round trip from Seattle to Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, and Glacier National Park! I watched your Royal Princess videos a few weeks ago and they gave us so much helpful information and heads up for places/things to do! You guys are so cute and fun to watch! So glad I stumbled across your videos. Now I’m watching your Grand Princess videos even though I just came back from Alaska! 😊
Me too! We went on Royal Princess from Seattle on May 27- June 03 and we had mini suites . I loved the ship very much. WhT a gorgeous ship. Did you go on the same week?
Loved watching this every night after work! We are taking the same boat and itinerary in a few weeks, and we loved watching it together every night, and we just got more excited! I’m seeing a lot of travelers who aren’t happy with the food on the grand, so I was glad to hear it was “alright” even if it wasn’t memorable!
Hi guys…thanks for your honest review! I was on the Grand Princess for an Alaskan cruise in May (actually I got off in Vancouver the day you guys boarded). Found you guys while I was looking for Alaska travel videos on TH-cam. Not sorry to say both of you (along with This Alaska Life) are now my favorites😍 Thanks for sharing your life adventures with all of us! Hope to one day get back to Alaska and explore more of the places in your videos!
Thank you for vlogging your cruises and of course Alaska. Alaska has always been on my bucket list. Grow up in Washington state and now live in SanDiego. We are doing the Alaska cruise in July of 2024. Thank you for giving us a window into what to do and see in ports of Alaska. ❤
Enjoyed your vlogs. We also love the older smaller ships as well, for the same reasons you brought up. We find it's more intimate as we meet more people and have forged friendships. We actually have arranged cruises with our new friends. We experienced the food in the MDR and buffet as just ok, nothing special. It does vary quite a bit from ship to ship. We roll with it because any day on a ship is better than being at home and working. Princess does service better than almost any other line we've experienced.
Thank-you for such a great series of vlogs. I'm going on my first cruise and first trip to Alaska in August, and I've watched everything you've posted. It's been great and really handy.
Thank you so much for all info. I am going in 4 weeks.❤
I bought the Drink package plus! Thank you talking about it. I feel better about purchasing it. You two are the greatest!
Loved your vlog serie. And also it came out every day instead of once a week, like other vloggers do.
We did Alaska last year with the Disney Wonder and loved it. If we can we will do Alaska again, but probably with an other cruiseline. (Disney is very expensive) and this cruise is all about the itinerary as you said. I don’t agree that itinerary doesn’t matter on other cruises, for example the Europe cruises. We did a port intensive cruise in the Mediterranean not with Disney because of that. (We’re Disney lovers, got platinum there). Also in Europe is the itinerary leading.
And I agree with the inside stateroom. We did this on the Wonder for the first time (also because of the large price difference with veranda) and it was great. We had a sideway and it feels large. And we had deck 4 to sit on the deck chairs and saw the amazing environment. And my son is smoking and the smoking place has also great views.
Again thanks and looking forward to your next vlogs.
I enjoyed your daily videos. It was fun to watch and I loved how you recommended local businesses that you actually bought from.
If you want to do a small ship and visit other ports like Sitka and Wrangell, I would highly recommend Alaskan Dream Cruises and their 9-day cruise. It was so worth it and a max of 49 passengers, great crew, and an awesome chef.
Thanks for these awesome suggestions!
Really enjoyed watching the whole series of the cruise! We saw you guys many times and nice to re live our fun cruise through the video's. I could not agree more about the drink package we got the premium drink package and really thought it was well worth it. Also glad to hear it wasn't just us who was not overly impressed with the food. It wasn't bad but it was not great, like you said. We were new to Princess so did not know if that was standard with the food or the ship? I was in front of you waiting to pet the puppies so nice I got to be in one of your video's! Hope to see you guys again on another Alaska cruise!
Love watching you guys. Like talking to old friends. Thanks so much for sharing 😊
The dining issues are like that everywhere, I think it's the chef and staff that make it or break it 😉
You guys are so right about every experience being different! I do like many of the same things that you both like but there are others who have opposite preferences. And that's ok. It makes our world so much more interesting🥰
Thank you for a great review of your cruise experience the Grand Princess ship🌺
My wife & I just completed our Alaskan Cruise from Seattle on the Royal Princess!
We LOVED it! The Staff could not do enough for us! We booked a Balcony Rm and I’m TOTALLY hooked on this room!
The Crown Grill (Filet Mignon/Lobster) and Sabitini’s are Fabulous!
But our Cruise did have some hiccups.
According to Princess the Canadian Government stated the ship had to “reduce” their speed. Thus we got into Juneau at 3pm (instead of 7am) and left the port at 9pm. We did attend our Whale Watching.
At Skagway (Train Ride) & Ketchikan (Lumberjack SHow) were Terrific!
Glacier Bay was the Highlight of the Cruise!
We were into Victoria at 9pm (left at 12am) and loss out on our 2nd Whale Watching (Princess did reimburse the us)!
I would booked this cruise again without hesitation!
Thanks for sharing your trip review, I watched your daily vlogs so this was great 👍 ❤
Loved the wrap up video! We did the plus package on the Princess Discovery to Alaska. The additional perk was that they had a Gelato store which was also included with the plus package! 😋
Hey guys, loved your in depth review! Wish you had touched on the enrichment programs; that's a huge reason why some people do Alaska!
Yeah, that's something we didn't do a lot with this cruise, so we didn't want to speak about how it was since we didn't really experience that much this time. On our 2022 Alaska cruise we did more of that and really loved it.
This was an awesome series. Cruising on Grand in July and you have helped me get so excited!! Love how honest and real you are. I’m traveling with someone that doesn’t people. Thanks for saying that!!!
We’re booked on the Grand July 2024. Thanks for your review. Very informative
So glad you found this helpful! We hope you have a wonderful time!
Thank you both for taking the time to do this review. I have felt the same with previous Royal cruises (cruised 9x's with them), where the food was ehhh. We are not crusing this year, but did secure two cruises for 2024 one is Celebrity and the second a Royal. ❤ Let's hope the food is better.
I just really love watching you guys together. I see such happiness and loved the review. It's on my bucket list to do an Alaska Cruise!
We have loved watching your trip to Alaska. We are so looking forward to our first cruise since 2019 on the Majestic Princess in November from Sydney to Tasmania with our Aussie friends we met in 2018 on The Crown. We took your advice and started watching Auban and her mum was funny seeing you in their vlogs. We love watching you guys, would love to bump into one day. Keep up the vlogs. 😊❤ from down under in New Zealand.
My husband and I both love Princess and we also love their smaller ships! Also, I agree with you about the entertainment around the ship, it’s phenomenal! We went on back to back Alaskan cruises last summer and it was awesome….you must try!! The beverage plus package is great!
Thanks for sharing your vlogs we love seeing your Alaska trips ❤😊
Hadn't caught you guys in awhile. Love this.
Hi guys, enjoyed your Alaska cruise on the Grand Princess for two reasons. First the wife and I are cruising on the Grand Princess at the end of the year out of Melbourne Australia for six nights. Good to get your review on the ship, many thanks. Second always liked Alaska, My first OE was to Alaska and the Yukon back in 1989. Good to see Skagway again, we went on the ferry MV Columbia from Skagway to Seattle taking 4 nights,( 3 cruise ships were on port that day) stopping on the way down. Having whales cruising past the ferry, so cool!! An Alaska cruise is on the bucket list, still. If you know the Foster's from Talkeetna say hi from me ! Cheers Paul from NZ.
“Crazy lushes” 😂😂 I resemble that remark.
Thank you. I love you people
Enjoyed your Alaska cruise review. All of your Alaska videos have capitivated my interest in doing an Alaskan cruise even though I have done an Inside Passage cruise on a British Columbia ferry and sailed up remote Bute Inlet in B.C. on a Canadian Forces ship while doing marine research! But Alaska is intriguing, it has the glaciers, and a certain wildness!
I absolutely adore you guys! Your videos are always so much fun and super informative...especially these Princess Cruise reviews. I have actually booked an Alaskan cruise tour for June 2024 and cannot wait to explore your gorgeous state! If you guys have any suggestions for things to do in Anchorage please share. We will be there for a half day and we are looking for something fun to do. Also any dinner restaurants that are a must try?
I'd recommend Anchorage Sites and Bites walking tour, Escaping Anchorage van tour, and renting bikes from Pablo's Bikes and biking the Coastal Trail (bring a lunch and blanket for this flat and scenic 18 mile round-trip trail).
It is very encouraging as I will be taking the southbound version of this cruise on July 8
Great wrap up! Alfredos and Slice were definitely so good. Very much agreed with most of what you experienced. The musicians were world class and totally agree that the crew were stars. Found it interesting that the app itinerary was not as precise as the 'patter' on most days 🤔
Hi there , been watching your blogs on this cruise, one day we will do it, we live in Australia and doing a princess cruise to new Zealand in November, which I suggest you do ,and do some Australia as well, thanks for your input on princess, really helpful, if you do come to Australia I don't mind showing you around my backyard, I live 2hrs south of Sydney in Kiama, a beautiful coastal town,
Started watching some of your other blogs now, keep up the good work,
Cheers ,James and enday
Loved these cruise vlogs
Sitka is one of my favorite ports.
I am the naturalist on the Royal Princess for 2023 in Alaska (and was in 2022 as well) - if you have any nature questions, please let me know and I will do my best to get you an answer! Thank you @LeggLife for all your awesome videos! Please come revisit the Royal.... or let me know if you are ever in port with the Royal. Lunch is on me!
A question from two retired Indiana school teachers. We are planning a seven or eleven day Alaska cruise this coming July/August. The 11 day cruise is the cruise+train+lodge. We want to see Denali National Park. After watching your review of your first 7-day Alaska cruise in 2022, now we are wondering if we should book the Denali trek on our own. Can you please share your expertise about arranging that on our own. Additionally, can you tell us which ship was your favorite and why as we haven’t watched the 2023 video yet. Thank you.
Adam, have you produced a vlog on, what do I call this, 1st time cruiser’s? Information like drink package, how and what is our responsibility to our servers, how to figure in gratuity, how to prepare our luggage (to make sure it keeps traveling with us.), good solid information for the 1st time cruiser. Thank you Thank you
Yes, this would be helpful for first timers. It's a lot of information to absorb, especially the tipping.
An Alaskan cruise is really the only kind of cruise I would want to do. I’m really don’t like being hot, not beach fan. Just seeing your review of both last year and this year’s cruises, I want to start saving up to go on an Alaskan cruise!
I’m really not into musicals so I would be okay missing the shows. I have heard they have nature talks and seeing those puppies would definitely be my thing! Your reviews have been great to hear.
Do you think employees like Sherri that go on the cruises help with improving the experience?
Just got back from our first Princess cruise on Royal. We loved it. Food was just okay. Loved Sabatini’s! LOVED Glacier Bay! Where did Sherri get the love boat sweatshirt?
She bought the Love Boat sweatshirt on the Grand last month!
You mentioned the USB ports and the “upgradedness “ to the ship-did you happen to notice if there are electrical outlets near the bed for a CPAP? Thanks again for your awesome content!
Yeah, the Grand is listed as their oldest ship. I liked her when I went on her before, enough that I'm going on her again soon. But I enjoy Princess ships.
Great wrap up. Can guest services help you with dining reservations? Our TA kind of led up to believe reservations are not needed with Dine My Way- now we are finding out we are closed out of restaurants and or time slots. Thanks for your help.
Loved the video. We are planning our first Alaskan cruise and I do have a question. You briefly touched base on the rooms veranda vs inside room and we are planning on a veranda for exactly the reasons you mentioned, but my question has to do with where on the ship is the best place to get a room. Is it at the rear, middle, or front? A certain deck that is better? Do you have that much freedom to pick where your room will be? I have fears of getting a veranda and then having a view of the life boats. :)
We just disembarked from Royal Princess on Saturday. I had the same experience with the main dining room food, it was a let-down.
Question…what do you expect the Alaska cruise weather to be like in October? Our 1st Alaska cruise was in August and it was cold for us (we live in Hawaii, so of course we were freezing)! Will October be colder since it’s closer to fall/winter? We also agree that when cruising with friends, you don’t have to do everything together. We already told our friends this for our upcoming cruise. We’re the most seasoned cruisers and don’t want them to just follow us around all day/night. We want them to do their own exploring and we can meet up for meals or coffee.
October is normally getting colder for sure. I would pack warmer layers. You could totally get lucky and get some nice weather, but October is often a month where we are reminded that winter is fast approaching
@@LeggLife Thanks for the tip on warmer layers. I guess I’ll finally get to use the puffy jacket that I purchased a while ago ☃️
Where do you recommend staying in anchorage before or after cruise? Would ❤ to visit😊
So if you use the medallion to order food to your does it cost extra? If so how much. We’re going on the Royal mid July this year. Can’t wait! First time to Alaska.
Sherri, if you do seprate rooms and want a room mate for the cruise, choose me!
We went on Discovery last year around the same time you were on royal. We were disappointed also on food. Pizza a s sushi the best options. Thinking a new ship would have really good good. We are going on Royal in September, crossing fingers that the food is better. Did you do the premier package? If so, did you win a prize? 🎉
We did the plus package, not premier, so no prizes for us
Do you know if all Princes cruises have blow dryers?
Did you see much wildlife on your cruise? That is a big reason I'd like to visit Alaska and I'm wondering if a road trip might be better for seeing animals.
Wondering this as well. Legglife any comment? We are doing the Princess northbound out of Vancouver August 26th followed by renting a Turo car an heading to Homer. Want to see wildlife!
