Review summary

Our cruise was outstanding! We had great weather both days we spent in Seattle, Washington. We also enjoyed great weather throughout the seven cruise days in Alaska. The excursios in Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan were quite memorable. The shipboard experience was also fantastic. I scheduled my 2024 Princess Mediterranean cruise to celebrate my 60th birthday because of this experience. Princess, well done!

Ship Quality

I thought Princess did a great job in refurbishing the Royal Princess. The common areas were always clean and well-maintained. We had the best stateroom steward. His name is Jesse.

Cabin / Stateroom

I am so glad that I upgraded to the Reserve Mini-Suite. It provided outstanding comfort and space for the three of us. Our outstanding stateroom steward Jesse ensured it was clean at all times.

Ship tip

They should book their stateroom early. They should consider upgrading to the Reserve Mini-Suite or above via the auction or via other means. I also recommend they purchase the Princess Plus package.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was efficient; however, it seemed as if Princess could not wait for us to disembark. It did not seem as personal as the embarkation process.
