Review summary

Due to weather our Junesu and Skagway ports were switched. We booked all excursions through Princess so they took care of all the rearrangements and it was fine. I think they did their best. The people running the excursions in town also did a remarkable job to accommodate everyone.

Seating is tight if you are "hippy" but shows were decent. The comedian was the best! Clean and funny comedy.

Cabin / Stateroom

This is a mini suite and it was perfectly sized. Loved the balcony. More storage space than we needed.

Ship tip

Study the map, get to events early and don't fret over small stuff.

I loved the town and excursions but DO NOT SHOP at jewels by kris 439 s Franklin. I purchased an inexpensive ring and it lost a stone within 3 days. I've bought JCPenny jewelry that has endured much abuse and wear. I'm glad it was not a larger purchase.
