Review summary

A bucket list trip that's breathtaking and fun for all ages, all occasions. There's so much to do that you'll be wishing you had more hours in the day! I would definitely go back!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Easy to board. No wait. No hassles.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

You could have pretty much anything you want at any time. If you know what time you want to eat, I recommend choosing a time for traditional seating in the dining room. Otherwise, show up about 5:30 pm and you'll get a seat by 6. Otherwise the wait can be 45+ minutes for anytime.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

There is literally something for everyone. We loved dancing, especially to the Static Band.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

So much fun! Magic to Do was the best musical show. And: Static Band!

Cabin / Stateroom

The shower is a little small and there are no real products in the bathroom so be sure to pack your own!

The people of this place stole my heart. Book your totem excursion through American Airlines, not Princess. You'll get a great guide!

Victoria, British Columbia

It was a beautiful city but we barely had any time there, and the time we did was mostly dark. We booked the tea and I think it was the best for the time we were there. You can't see gardens at night!

Glad were able to check off a bucket list item. Alaska is a special place and visiting via a cruise is such a great introduction to it's marvelous land. I am overdue for a return.
