Town is a tourist trap. Probably should have signed up for the train.

I don't get these people that jump all over you for giving an honest assessment. I thought the entertainment in the main Princess Theater was campy and embarrassingly hokey. The band that played out in the main Piazza was great and I really enjoyed them also the Jazz Band. Drinks are terrible everywhere and food was mediocre. Main dining room unpredictable and the buffet yuck most of the time. Applaud that you have the honesty to say the truth and not be one of these butt kissers.

Maybe you should have done more research when taking a cruise to Alaska. Weather is unpredictable, but even on grey days, Glacier Bay is spectacular. My guess is that cruising isn't for you and you should stick to land based vacations.

Your review of Glacier Bay, Gray and cold, ha ha. What do you expect being in Alaska! If this isn’t a fake review, cruising definitely isn’t for you!!!!

First time going on a cruise. The cast and crew of the Royal Caribbean were great.

Learning Experience

Alaska was magical, the royal princess not so much
