Review summary

Ship layout was great! Most everything is on deck 7 except the buffet which is 14. Staff is wonderful. My only detraction of a star was because the food was mediocre. My Husband had the pork and lamb on two different nights and both were a little tough. Probably wouldn't have noticed, but we've been on several cruises so could compare. Cabins were spacious for a cruise room. We were at the very back of the boat and was a bumpy ride from Ketchikan to VC. The extra pay restraurants, weren't worth the extra $$. except the steakhouse, which was fabulous.

Ship tip

Anytime dining, doesn't mean anytime...it means after 7:15ish when the first dining has finished and the second hasn't started yet.

Usually Caribe, once Baja, once, once Dolphin. I like cabins above and below. Much quieter. Caribe is my obvious favorite. Aft corner. Perfect!!! Hope you have a great cruise.

Gil155, thank you for your information about aft balcony. We have an aft balcony this coming June, but I have never sailed before and was not sure what part of the ship was desirable. What decks have you stayed in aft?

I love how mikw96 talked herself into a bad experience. At first the food was just not that great but by the end of her sentence it was "awful!"

OMG! - you are the FIRST person I have ever conversed with that had a double porthole cabin on the very aft of the ship! I do aft balconies - ALWAYS. Hope you enjoyed your cabin. Again, thanks for sharing your review of the cruise. I love Princess cruise lines!
