Review summary

Although I don't have a variety of cruise lines to compare with, nor have I been on many cruises, but I will say this, the Princess franchise is a class act.  Super organized, super friendly, super fun!  It has me completely sold on cruising as the best way to travel-- you unpack once, travel while you sleep, and never have to pull out your wallet.  This particular cruise to Alaska makes for the perfect storm (no pun intended)-- still waters, long summer days, breathtaking scenery, and wonderful shore excursions (adventures!).  I would specifically do this cruise again.  Even more fun with a larger party-- we had 10-- 5 adults, 4 high schoolers, and a 5 year old.  So much for everyone to do-- you almost have anxiety that you can't do everything!  Take advantage of the state of the art fitness center and the spa offerings-- massage, pedicure, facials... We also committed to taking the stairs instead of the elevators and ended up exceeding our 10,000 daily step goal every day and by a huge margin (a couple of those days topped 20,000!).

Room service anytime you want. They are attentive all day long-- the minute you leave your room in the morning, they are in there refreshing your room, and before you retire for the evening, the beds are turned down with chocolates. If you're celebrating a special occasion, they all know! It's great!

Ship tip

Take advantage of everything. The more you participate in the activities, the more fun you'll have! Make it a point to meet someone new every day!
