Review summary

Alaska cruise was good overall. A few issues but nothing to spoil the experience. Holland America music walk looks to be slowly falling apart which was a plus over the glitz and glam shows everyone else does.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Except for the slow security screening this was the best embarkation experience we’ve had.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was better than most cruises. Portion size was great.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Not as many Alaska experts on board as previous Princess cruise.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Our March2022 Rotterdam cruise had much better entertainment. Company Men show was rough. Piano bar was just okay. Jazz quartet was worth several visits.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Cabin stewards were in out quickly. Not impressed with officer that encouraged us to cut in line on debarkation day.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom
