We had a great time! The ship and staff were awesome! We'll definitely cruise on Princess again! Already put a deposit on our next cruise. Just have to decide where we want to go!

Much easier than we expected

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food and staff were great! Good variety, everything was fresh, and the dining staff was very friendly, attentive and professional.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
They had game shows, activities, presentations... the only downside was that we couldn't attend them all!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Wasn't able to attend any of the production shows, however the bands, DJ's, cruise director staff, and other entertainment options were great.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was great in all respects. They took care of any problems immediately, fulfilled special request as necessary, and were professional, attentive, and friendly at all times.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship seemed laid out okay. The venues were easy to find and well staffed. Had no problems at all finding our way around.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We were on the Aloha deck forward, and it was great! I actually did some research on what rooms to avoid when we booked our cabin, and the room we chose worked out well. The room was clean, everything worked, and it was laid out well. The bed was comfortable, however it took a couple days to get used to it since I usually sleep on a memory foam bed.

Ship tip

Get out of your comfort zone, participate in the games and activities, and try to enjoy yourself! The staff really do try to take care if everything, which for many people may be difficult to embrace.

Ports of call

Seattle, Washington Did not visit port

Embarked in Seattle, but live nearby so didn't do anything there.

Ketchikan, Alaska

5 out of 5
Loved Ketchikan. We didn't do any excursions, but preferred to walk around on our own and explore the town.

Cruise Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska Did not visit port

Due to heavy fog, the ship's captain chose not to enter Tracy Arm, so were didn't get to experience that.

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5
Juneau was cool. We went on an excursion and had a great time.

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
Loved Skagway. Did an excursion and explored the town.

Victoria, British Columbia Did not visit port

Didn't get off the ship in Victoria.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Very easy. My only complaint was that a couple members of the ship's staff appeared a little too eager for us to depart the ship. Kinda felt rushed to get off.
