Review summary

First if you are in Anchorage, go to Mooses tooth pizza and get the Amazing Apricot. Thank me later. Would do Princess again because it got us into Glacier Bay but other than that not impressed with Princess. Room serviced several times a day.

Old but just fine. Except for the water leak that soaked our carpet. Dealt with that for 4 days.

Ship tip

Pay for speciality dining because the included food is not very good. The Trident grill often had 1 person working.
