Review summary

This was about our 4th cruise together. We enjoyed the quiet time at sea, made new friends at any-time dining each night, and throughout the cruise. The cabin was very nice for our needs with plenty of hanging space and the on-TV entertainment was up to date and good for our times to escape from the crowds. Disappointed in the meat meals at dinner, fish and poultry were fine. Beverage service at dinner was a bit lacking or hit-and-miss. All in all, we recommend Princess (especially for an Alaskan cruise) and this itinerary.

Disappointed in the sit-down breakfast service, but once we found all the RIGHT choices at the buffet and seating in the Plank or Steamers area, wonderful starts to the day.

Very friendly wait staff in lounges and on the decks. Not so much at Any-time dinner. But you could count on having the souvenir shot glass for after dinner liquor pushed.

Poor weather had water activities canceled. The beach was nice, but entering the water you needed footwear.
