Review summary

Love Alaska, it’ was our 15th time never disappoints.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Was very easy, we had been to visit the 5 lodges of Princess, so came in a catamaran, where we had pre checked in, than just into security, and right on board the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
As usual the food was good, wish they had more selections for breakfast, because we don’t like buffets.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
As we don’t do these, I will not give negative just not our thing

Entertainment

4 out of 5
We don’t do the shows in the main theatre, but we do like the duos, the only one we did not like was a group that had one female singer, with four guys, and it was she used volume over talent.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Always good.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We used to princess, normal design.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Love the location, it was at back of ship, and balcony was large

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
It took a while to get off the ship then they had luggage where colors were all mixed up together. The customs easy, but I think they should have buses leave earlier, next time we will take cab to the airport.

Thanks for the review. Great pro-tip. The cruise buses are a last resort. Always check cab/Uber or third party shuttle transportation options and price. They are typically cheaper, nicer, and always faster.
