So sorry your ship was not meeting your needs. We just returned from Alaska and sailed on the Princess Discovery. She is a pretty new ship. Very happy with that ship. In fact our 2nd cruise on her to Alaska. Only thing didn’t like was having to tender to Skagway. Hope your next cruise is all you want it to be and more!

We loved every bit of the cruise EXCEPT OUR ROOM on the Westerdam!! We embarked Sunday 8/27/23 assigned to room 8116! After multiple phone calls, failed repairs and face to face at Guest Services we finally were able to flush the commode by 5p MON 8/23..
