Review summary

This was our 3rd cruise to Alaska but 1st time with Princess & 1st landtour. Not sure we would book with Princess again but we really enjoyed our time in Alaska & we even saw Mt Denali twice!

Embarkation

2 out of 5
We didn't arrive until about 30 minutes prior to ship leaving port & so they really rushed us through & we didn't even have time to be on deck to watch the ship depart

Everyone was very friendly & helpful.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was very clean. Decor was a little outdated. Would have been nice if carpet would have been different colors or designs to help moving around the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Room was pretty small & bathroom was very tiny & you could hardly turn around in the shower. Storage was adequate & balcony was great size.

Ports of call

Whittier (Anchorage), Alaska

2 out of 5
Can't believe we had to stand outside of the bus to wait for the train & only bathrooms were portable.

Cruise Hubbard Glacier

Beautiful & we had plenty of time there.

Cruise Glacier Bay

5 out of 5
Beautiful but not much wildlife when we were there.

Skagway, Alaska

4 out of 5
It was a beautiful day but a really long walk from ship to town. We enjoyed the city tour in the old bus.

Juneau, Alaska

4 out of 5
Weather was amazing. Loved Mendenhall Glacier & Glacial Gardens.

Ketchikan, Alaska

5 out of 5
Best port ever! Great shopping & the Lumberjack show is a must do!

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

3 out of 5
Getting through security & customs is a long process & hard when having to handle luggage.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
We were about 30 minutes late getting off ship which caused a little anxiety but we still made our flight ok.
