Review summary

We been to close to 30 cruises but never been on a Princess ship. I highly recommend this ship because of the outstanding friendly and attentive staff who works as a team!!Princess calls them “ teammates” rather than “ crew members “ and one can feel the positive vibe on this ship. I also appreciated that Princess offers a venue for Good Friday, Easter Sunday services plus daily Bible Study. Thank you Princess!

This ship is dry docking right after we leave yet it maintained its cleanliness. There are things needs to be fixed.

Cabin / Stateroom

Everything is good except they can’t get rid of the bathroom odor. I used my own essential oil spray to cope.

Ship tip

If you have kids, take advantage of their free childcare ! It’s great value indeed! Enjoy a snack or pizza in deck 5 at the International Cafe. Great food and easy to get a quick bite throughout the day. Sometimes there’s entertainment or games to enjoy as well!

Lots of activities going on along Fisherman’s Wharf. Go watch the sea lions. It’s free of charge and close by. Others highly recommended the Alcatrez but tickets were sold out. We will buy tickets ahead of time next round,

Astoria, Oregon

Ok. Our daughter visited the Marine Museum and was fascinated with the sailor’s stories.

Victoria, British Columbia

4 out of 5
We were early in the season so not everything was open. Shuttle service is Cad$11.00 all day from port to downtown and back. We enjoyed the cherry blossoms and a free tour at the parliament building.

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

5 out of 5
Lots to do. Stanley park. Rented bikes for half day. QE park - lovely blossoms. Great seafood n sushi and Chinese food and fusion food everywhere. Grouse mountain and Capailano Bridge are great places to visit. Last summer, there were free shuttle at the cruise terminal to take you there and back. You do have to pay admission though.

Disembarkation

My grandson sprung his ankle and they wheelchair him all the way to the pick up spot for our ride! He gave them a 6 stars rating!
