Review summary

This was a bucket list trip. Everyone we spoke to prior to the trip mentioned that an Alaska cruise was one of their best trips ever. Unfortunately, that was not the case for us due to Princess Cruise lines sending us out on a ship that was working on back up generators. The ports of calls were cut short. My intent to go on a cruise was not to spend the majority of time on the cruise but rather to explore the ports of calls in Alaska based on the chosen excursions. Disappointed is putting it mildely

This port got cut short. They re-arranged our excursions. The cruise line didn't give us an option on which excursions to eliminate.
