Review summary

We sailed on the Royal Princess for the first Alaska cruise of the season and first ever Alaska trip for the Royal Princess. Overall great trip. Embarkation was an absolute nightmare. You go through US Customs in Vancouver and that wait alone was 2 hours. Didnt matter if you were in a suite or Platinum/Elite. Best to show up at 3pm. The Medallions were an added bonus and just made simple tasks even easier. Staff was great. Very friendly. Dining room food was good, but not great. I never left the dining room saying, wow, that's the best .... I've ever had. The buffet was way improved over other Princess ships, BUT, it's still the buffet. The sailing we were on had Passengers pass away on a shore excursion. The captain and crew handled the situation as best they could. The ship itself was in great shape and a nice step up over older Princess ships.
