Rarely, on a website operated by a cruise line will there be negative comments as they do their best to present their best appearance to future customers. That is not to say they remove any complaints their passengers may have had, but they always have the option that when a person does complain they can contact the customers and make amends before their Alaskan cruise reviews appear to the public.

Independent travel sites through which tours are booked usually offer their customers an opportunity to post reviews of their experiences and most of the Alaskan cruise reviews that appear speak positively of the entire trip. However, when reading reviews be cautious so as not to confuse a negative comment about portions of the travel as representative of the entire experience.
