Website not user friendly Website not user friendly. Couldn’t get it to book online. When I called customer service, she couldn’t find my saved itinerary. Finally got a booking. Customer service rep was friendly and helpful.

Recently booked an Alaskan cruise and… Recently booked an Alaskan cruise and am so very well pleased with the outstanding customer service we received. Courteous, friendly, helpful staff. Made the booking process go very smoothly. Lily, our booking agent was very knowledgeable and helpful. Would definitely recommend Alaska Cruises. Great experience

Sherief is amazing! I felt I bombarded our agent, Sherief, with a million questions (and I still have more!) as we are in the early phase of having finally secured arrangements. She had answers for them all and, additionally, has volunteered so much information. In every interaction she has been extremely pleasant, patient and fun. She has made it feel as though I’m talking with a friend, all the while maintaining an air of professionalism. If there’s another cruise in our future, I’ll be calling Sherief!

Incompetent Travel Agency Some of the travel agents are very incompetent, not knowing what they can do for customers and not carrying out undertakings they promise to complete. There are other agents who are efficient and apologize for errors others made and rectify the situation. Sometimes they keep you on hold on the phone for an extended period of time while they attempt to process sales they finally say that they are not allowed to process. Payments sometimes do not show on their statements, but are later corrected. I was asked to check off "declined" for purchases already made. I suspect that they have a poor software program to work with, which exacerbates the booking process.

Poor communication Poor communication. They do not contact you at all prior to final payment being due, they want you to lose your deposit. In fact you will get nothing from them after your initial confirmation emails. Horrible business practices.
