We must have been on the same cruise. I know they can’t control the weather, but it was still disappointing. We were a little disappointed in the ship also considering it’s so new. We probably won’t cruise Princess again. We found it to be a little boring. To be honest, I’m surprised by all the good reviews.

Doing an Alaska cruise at the end of the season is always a risk in terms of likelihood of bad weather. There's a reason September cruises to Alaska are so much cheaper than other times in the year.
