Review summary

Excellent overall experience on the Royal Princess. We had a great time!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Seamless! We were treated like royalty. Ramps to the ship were steep for wheelchair to navigate. Need a better way to handle handicap passenger embarkation and disembarkation. Maybe an elevator?

Onboard Activities

We did not have a chance to do any on-board activities.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
We went to the magic show and the comedy show. Both were very good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward, Jovito, was very professional and courteous. He attended to our every need, and went beyond our expectations.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean and easy to get around the ship, even with a wheelchair. We had to put on our patience hat when requesting an elevator, which we already knew would be extra time required with a wheelchair.

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
Great port. We had great weather while there. Our train ride to White Pass was cancelled due to a rock slide on the railroad tracks. We went into town and shopped instead. It was all good!

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5
Great port. We had great weather while there. We did a whale watching excursion in the morning. We didn’t really have enough time after the excursion to explore the town.

Ketchikan, Alaska

5 out of 5
Great port. We had great weather while there. We had to leave five hours early from this port because of an anticipated high tide issue in Vancouver. The ship had to leave Ketchikan early, so that the ship could fit under a bridge when we arrived in Vancouver. Disappointed because we did not have the full day to explore this beautiful port.

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

5 out of 5
Great port. We had great weather while there.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Had to wait a long time for a handicap accessible van to our hotel. Aside from that, the experience was good.
