Sapphire Princess Tips

"Anytime Dinning" really means any time after 7:45 otherwise reservations must be made prior to sailing.

Head to the back of the ship to avoid the wind and windchill. It's also much quieter as kids generally go to the main pool.

Loved the 7th floor lounge and bartender Ramon

The Piazza on Deck 5 has the most wonderful pizza (not pepperoni and mushroom) the manager is outstanding as the staff that our serving. A great lunchtime treat!

Pizza at Alfredo's is very good--but they serve nothing else and drinks, of course, are extra. Destination advisor, Elizabeth, is excellent--good fund of knowledge, very approachable.

Pizza at Alfredo was the best pizza of all the other ships that I have been on. The stateroom was great, particularly the layout with great closet space.

Pizza very good. Free Room service anytime

Free room service any time.

Pizza excellent, must try.

It is best not to book a room directly under the pools unless you like to be awakened at 6 every day.

Get the drinks package if you expect to drink 6 or more drinks a day.

Jump in the pool

Go to the premium restaurants for better food.

To be honest, I think a Mini Suite is well worth it. It was maybe only $100 difference when we booked it, but it's worth it for a 7 day cruise. Lots of room, and the balcony views are amazing. All balcony locations will be GREAT for an Alaskan cruise. The ship actually does a full 360 turn so that both sides will see everything. So worth it!

Try the new pizza restaurant

Poor food service and production shows

DON'T CHEAT YOURSELF BY NOT ATTENDING THE FORMAL DINNERS- DRESS TO THE 9's. THE BUFFET ON DECK 14 (LIDO) HAS A GREAT SELECTION OF BREAKFAST AND LUNCH FOODS. THE PIZZARIA IN THE PIAZZA IS PHENOMINAL.

Go at least 30 minutes early to get seats for the shows in the evening as the theater isnt very big!

The pizza in the Pizzaria on Plaza Deck is excellent. do not miss....
