Sounds like you had a great time, we have been on the royal princess, and she is great ship, also love Alaska, been there 7 times, and have 3 cruises for this season booked , if you ever get a chance princess owns 5 lodges in the I interior of the state.that you have to book early it sells quickly

Is Princess going to be around after all of this Covid is over ? Don’t hear or see much about that Cruise Line any more.
