izmeeh Posted July 1, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 1, 2014 If price and dates are the same, would you please rank the following ships in the order of preference for an Alaska cruise? If you can, please rate each ship out of 10. Norwegian Sun, Holland ms Statendam, Radiance of the Seas, Island Princess, Coral Princess, Celebrity Millennium, and Crown Princess. Thanks.

We have been to Alaska twice. We cruised on the Radiance of the Seas and the Star Princess. We have not sailed on the others you mention. Between the two we have sailed on, I give the Radiance a 10 and the Star Princess a close 9. Alaska is fantastic. Happy cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coral Princess Island Princess HAL Statendam Crown Princess For sure, I'd pick either a Princess or HAL ship because both have been doing Alaska for a very long time and offer an excellent cruise experience there. :) LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can really only rate Sun, Radiance, Millennium and Crown because those (or their twin sisters) are the only ships I've sailed out of your list. Of those, my ratings are... Radiance 10 Crown 8 Millennium 8 Sun 4 I gave Crown a 8 because I find those ships to be very crowded. Millennium is really nice, but my 8 is for lack of activities. NCL Sun, well, never mind. One thing...don't fall for the "cruise line x has been sailing there longer" bit. Common sense should tell you that makes no difference. It's not like Alaska looks different from a ship that's been there more times than another ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted July 1, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 1, 2014 HAL and Princess have been in the Alaskan business the longest. But the HAL you listed -- Statendam is an older ship and at the end of her 2015 Alaskan season, she will be transferred over to P&O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollon Posted July 1, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Would anyone pick Radiance over Princess and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishin' musician Posted July 1, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 1, 2014 FWIW, if Glacier Bay is desired you are limited to HAL, Princess or NCL. I really can't compare your choices as I've only cruised Alaska twice, both times on Princess and had great experiences each time. This year is the NCL Sun. I get the impression that Alaska cruises tend to be more about Alaska and less about the ship/onboard experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izmeeh Posted July 1, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Thanks all for your feedback. I went Alaska once on the Sun and loved it. I guess whatever ship I choose will be better than the Sun. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted July 1, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Would anyone pick Radiance over Princess and why? We would not because Radiance can't go to Glacier Bay. LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
