Review summary

I would recommend Princess and thie trip to anyone wanting to visit Alaska. It would be nice to spend a full day at every port in AK. We did excursions at every port except for Victoria B.C.; not enough time at that port.

Super easy embarkation, especially for a first-time cruiser. Ll

Glad you had fun on your Princess cruise to Alaska. Yes it would be nice to spend more time in ports. Of course that would mean either making the ships faster or the ports closer together. The cruiselines want you to spend as much time off the ship as possible since that means more money for them so I'm sure they try their best. Just think of it as a reason to go back.

Agree about longer excursion times but it will not happen due to travel times between ports, etc. Glad you were able to visit Alaska via Princess. A great way to visit in my opinion.
