Review summary

We enjoyed this trip as we were able to visit the lodges and then have the cruise afterwards. I would recommend this itinerary to anyone looking to do more than just a cruise to Alaska.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

After spending time at the Princess Wilderness Lodges this was the smoothest embarkation I have ever done. While riding the train to Whitter the staff got us all checked in and we just walked right on the ship.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship was clean but was in need of refurbishment, there were sections of floor in our hallway that had lifted and could have caused a tripping hazard if you were not paying attention.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Great room and always clean, the cabin steward was always a step ahead of us and always had our room clean when we came back the room.
