Review summary

We prefer warm weather cruises but Alaska was worth doing at least once. Gorgeous scenery! Make sure Glacier Bay National Park is on your itinerary. Other than Glacier Bay we liked Ketchikan the best, lumberjack show was a lot of fun. Juneau had Mendenhall glacier and walk to Nugget falls that we enjoyed.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining room menu and food was very good. Buffet food seems to be less extraordinary. Always love the Americanos and food available at International Cafe!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Good variety of activities - don’t usually partake in many but did enjoy line dancing and trivia. Seems to be something for everyone.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Production shows were excellent - Princess dancers and singers were very talented. Enjoyed guest entertainer Ashley Amber as well.

5 out of 5

All Princess staff were very friendly and seemed to love their jobs.

4 out of 5

Very nice room and location on ship. Beds very comfortable.

Ship tip

Make sure to explore all areas to find your favourite spots. Ours included International Cafe piazza area for early mornings and Skywalkers and Adagio Lounge for quiet reading spots during the day.
