Review summary

Although the Star Princess was not the favorite ship I have ever been on, the itinerary was wonderful. and we saw things one can only imagine. The glacier days were some of the best of the cruise and the skill of the crew in getting us up close to the glaciers and giving history and facts about them was wonderful. I would say our balcony was a great advantage and we spent a lot of time there just observing the scenery and relaxing. We saw so many things one can only imagine. Pictures do not do justice to the things you see on this cruise.
