Review summary

This was our first cruise and we had a fantastic time. From our steward Roger who took such excellent care of us to everyone in the dining rooms. The food was amazing and afternoon tea was a real treat. We enjoyed every port, the Logging Show in Ketichan, we rode the tram in Junea and hiked the trails, in Skagway we took a tour to the Yukon Suspension Bridge and then had a Salmon Bake in Liarsville, and finally in BC went to the Draggoch Castle which I also recommend.

Amazing teen programs, I do wish the age group wasn't so big, maybe, 10-13, and 14-17

what time was the castle open till when you went? We are doing the same cruise next week and wanted to go to draggoch castle but can't because they are not open late enough. Did you arrive earlier than 7 pm arrive time in B.C.?

Once again, another happy cruiser on the Emerald Princess from Alaska. Getting boring ? NO WAY!!! These are great reviews by so many varied individuals. Gotta say, Princess, the Emerald, and Alaska must be doing a lot of things nice. Congrats for completing such a terrific cruise.
