Ship experiences

Variety of food choices were good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Onboard activities were good, although I didn’t participate in many at all. I was tired from lots of walking. I watched the movies under the stars, gambled a bit, sat out on deck watching the sun set, and listened to music for a bit each night.

Entertainment

Excellent. Really enjoyed watched the morning show. Hilarious Presentation!

Ports of call

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

5 out of 5
Arrived a few days early to spend my birthday in Vancouver Canada. Rainy and I overcast some days. Didn’t manage to get plenty of sunshine on my special day before sailing. Awesome place to visit. Definitely will be back for another visit.

Nanaimo, British Columbia

5 out of 5
Loved taking a walk thru this small quiet quaint place. It was a lovely place.

Seattle, Washington

Visited Seattle last year. So I didn’t do much when we docked. Meet up with family for lunch, souvenir shopped, and road the giant roller coaster.

Astoria, Oregon

5 out of 5
Skipped this port due to incoming storm.

Third time in San Francisco. Walked along Fisherman’s Wharf, enjoyed lunch at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, and souvenir shopped before disembarking early.

Did not visit this port. Disembarked a day early to visit family.

Glad your first cruise, and first cruise line was Princess. Princess will indeed be able to show you the world and pamper you while cruising aboard her ships. Best wishes on your next cruise.
