Review summary

Too many charges for a cruise that you pay a lot for to begin with, every stop was long lines and very little time to do anything! Icy Strait wasn’t worth giving up Ketchikan for and the docking fees that we paid for Ketchikan should be refunded! I probably won’t go on another Princess Cruise!

Embarkation

No problem cabin wasn’t what we expected

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food was good delivery to the cabin costs, nickel and dime you to death

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Shows were fun, plenty to do onboard. The cost to do anything onboard is a complete overcharge. Bingo, Deal or no Deal everything cost way too much!

Very nice!

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Too small! Beds were nice but not set up how we asked. Bathroom extremely small and the shower was not big enough to turn around in. We asked for a hand held shower nozzle but didn’t get it!

Ship tip

Bring plenty of money, cause they will nickel and dime you to death!

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

2 out of 5
The only place I really wanted to visit was Ketchikan and that was canceled and Icy Strait was what you traded it for, BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! We got a total of 2 hours there and with 3 other cruise ships all there at the same time gave us nothing but long lines and nothing else! I’m asking for a refund for the fees we paid for Ketchikan but didn’t go to! Not Happy about this one!

Victoria, British Columbia

2 out of 5
The ship had engine problems so everywhere we went was at half speed so getting anywhere was late , getting to Victoria late and getting to town at almost dark really cut into what we could do and see! Not happy here either! Everywhere we went there was at least 3 more cruise ships so long lines and crowds ruined almost every stop! I went on the cruise to see Great Ports and relax, didn’t get Ketchikan and Icy Steat wasn’t worth going to!

Disembarkation

I have enjoyed cruising with Princess 9 times and have not experienced what you described

Is this your first cruise or just a bogus review. Practically everything in your review is false, unless you are a huge person and can't get into to shower, cause its big enough. The ship is old and has does not have shower wands. The beds can be arranged any way you want them, you just have to ask. All the gambling games are a upcharge, as is on ALL cruiselines. Princess is one of the few cruiselines that do not charge for room service, unless you refer to a tip as a charge.
