Great cruise with Princess. Was on the Ruby Princess last year to glacier bay. This year was Tracy arm fjord. Both are worth doing and highly recommended! Love Alaska! Be sure to book a room with a balcony!!

Embarkation

Quick and easy. We were able to get on as soon as we got to the port. Transfer to and from airport was simple and worth it.

Mainly ate at the buffet. Had any time dinning, which we went to once (first formal night). Took a while to get our food. Very accommodating to gluten free.

We were up graded to mini suite and we loved it! Bathroom was bigger with tub... which made the shower normal size

We bought the coffee punch card.... 30 coffee and were able to share it. It was worth it for good coffee.

Thanks for review and congrats on the upgrade, we have a regular balcony, was hoping for a tub being a amputee, but I called princess and they said there would be a shower chair put in our room 😀
