Took my refund with Holland America line and gonna re-book for June 2021. We originally were gonna do round trip out of Seattle thru HAL.. for next year we decided to start in Whittier, Alaska and do a one way ending in Vancouver. It's the Princess- Star Princess.. itinerary is Hubbard glacier , glacier national park, Juneau, skagway, Ketchikan, end in Vancouver. Does anyone have any experience with Princess (especially for Alaskan cruise) or this itinerary? Any feedback or info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Your title reads "Alaska Cruise for 21 foot".

Not bad.

Whittier is an interesting town. Accessible by two mile long tunnel, everyone lives in the same building. Not much to do there but the scenery is spectacular.

Roger, so we are down to two different ones trying to decide.

Princess-Star Princess- starts in Whittier. Ends in Vancouver. Includes- Hubbard glacier, glacier national park, Juneau, skagway, Ketchikan

Royal Caribbean-Serenade of the seas-roundtrip from Vancouver. Includes- Sitka , skagway, Juneau , Tracy arm fjord

Any thoughts on which one might be better ?

After 2 road trips and 1 cruise, I'd never do another alaskan cruise. You don't get enough time in port. The fiords and glaciers are nice from the ship. Buy flying and driving is much more flexible.

Go with that. Sitka is gorgeous but going to Glacier Bay and Hubbard is awesome

For a day, Skagway. Compact and a living museum. Love the history.

Sitka is a better place to spend a week.

Skagway is really fun.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll stick with Princess. I'm also getting a lot of feedback on cruise critic saying princess is a much better line for Alaska than Royal Caribbean

You'll be happy with Princess Alaskan product. Plus, the cross gulf trip is better than just doing the inside passage imo.
