Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Very nice. Well fed and food was outstanding. Ate at the Italian and Seafood restaurants. Have an awesome gelato bar. Grandson loved the ice cream bar. Sometimes difficult to get a table.

Onboard Activities

Used the pool and hot tub. Nice Internet cafe.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Saw the magic show twice and the Illusions show. Excellent performers. Good music onboard. Comedy performance wasnt as good. Saw the Rock show. Wasnt really impressed with the performance. Not what we expected from a show with that title.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
Lightly used.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Kiran was our room steward. Did an exceptional job keeping us tidy. Especially since I had 2 guys in my room. Staff was amazing every where on the ship. Attentive and accomodating to our requests. Had one issue at the service desk where felt rather insulted by a comment made there. Problem with promised on board credit that never was given despite paperwork showing it would be there after boarding. Even my cruise agent couldnt get it resolved. My son and I both own our own businesses. We know what we should have from our itinerary. My agent was very upset after multiple discussions with Princess.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was easy to follow layout. Very clean. Elevators are exceptionally SLOW. Often waiting for long periods of time to board and often go right past your floor.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Rather small. Setup not very efficient. when hide a bed open blocks doorway and refrigerator and desk access. Very clean.

Ship tip

Not my best cruise. Book your your shore excursions asap before boarding as well as reservations for specialty dining.

Our zipline excursion was cancelled here as soon as we were on board ship. There were very few options left for excursions at that point. We ended up doing a gold panning tour again. fun. were able to book excursion outside of Princess.

Skagway, Alaska

Beautiful city nestled in the mountains. Did Liarsville excursion. Very nice day. Great salmon bake with lots of food. cute entertainment.

Victoria, British Columbia Did not visit port

Not much to do. Didnt get there till 7. Had dinner reservations at 6.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Slow. Had difficulty finding some our luggage. The computers went offline while disembarking the ship and had to wait for more than 15 minutes just to leave the ship.
