Review summary

We were hesitant about a cruise but no other way to see Alaska. Princess won me over and starting to think about the next one. I hae had Safety and process improvement as my primary responsiilty durinng my career and I can't think of a thing they could hae improved.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Hard to be sensible but the staff help with reducing portion size. We selected Anytime Dining and went to Bordeaux Club class every night early and had a great little table by the window. Morning were at Sandalinis and the breakfasts were easily cutomizedd. Staff were amazing.

Service and Staff

Can't think of a thing to improve. Had an HVAC program and electrician arrived in a couple of hours. At dinner one night a group of us talked about wanting to take the steward and evening wait staff home with us.

Plan on an alternataive excursion for the ports. We planned on Float Plane and it was cancelled because of weather. Ended up with Rainforest tour and it was nice.

Juneau, Alaska

Whale watching and Mendenhall were outstanding. Mount Roberts tramway was not worth the money. So crowded that youou couldn's see ot the windows and both operators had unusual mocking tones that were annoying.
