Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple We'll be back! by Sue from Arizona Sailing date: Jun 2007 Pros: The itinerary to Alaska. Our family of four had a great time, overall, on this cruise. Alaska was spectacular. I can't wait to go again -- further north next time, I hope. The staff was great and my children had a wonderful time, too. The food was good to very good (not outstanding) and plentiful if you took advantage of the buffet and other casual dining options. Cabins were very nice. Ship Details: Entertainment & Activities Activities: I would have enjoyed a few more "family" activities. Entertainment: Performers were good (except the magician). Read this user's port of call reviews: Juneau, Alaska; Ketchikan, Alaska; Skagway, Alaska; Cruise Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Juneau, Alaska Juneau - whales, wow! Go see the whales! We had many, many sightings of humpback whales on our catamaran voyage. Don't Miss: The Whales! Ketchikan, Alaska Lumberjack show - better than I thought it would be. We went to the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show because it seemed like the "obvious" choice. But, we all had a really fun time. Adults and kids were all able to enjoy it together. Skagway, Alaska Great town/Great Railroad. The White Pass & Yukon RR trip was wonderful. There were walls of snow at the summit. The scenery was spectacular. Don't Miss: White Pass & Yukon RR. Cruise Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska Glacier Watching. Beautiful scenic cruising of Tracy Arm area from the cruise ship. We went in early June -- be prepared to bundle up. Don't Miss: GO out on deck - bundle up - bring binoculars and enjoy the serenity. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Wonderful service. by Christopher from Grants Pass, OR Sailing date: Apr 2007 Pros: The entire ship is wonderful! If you want excellent views, then I recommend visiting Skywalker's night club. Day or night, you can see for miles. Cruising with Princess is extremely personal. The make every attempt at making you feel like they are there for only you. They will try and accomidate every need or want that you may have. The service is excellent and the staff are helpful and friendly. Every attempt is made to make you feel like you are home. So many activities and so much fun! My wife and I will definitely cruise with Princess again and again. Ship Details: Entertainment & Activities Read this user's port of call reviews: Acapulco, Mexico; Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa, Mexico Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Acapulco, Mexico Acapulco. We did not enjoy Acapulco. It is very smoggy and too busy for us. Granted, we did not get out of town, but, we would not go back. Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Puerto Vallarta is a must see destination! Puerto Vallarta is beautiful! The locals were very friendly and were not pushy for you to enter their stores, like further south in Mexico. We had the best meal while in Puerto Vallarta at the Blue Shrimp. The had the freshest and best tasting shrimp I have ever had in my life. If you get to Puerto Vallarta make sure you take the time to eat there. You will not regret it! Don't Miss: The Blue Shrimp, Del Sol and Diamonds International. Cabo San Lucas, Mexico Cabo San Lucas is wonderful! If you like to just relax and enjoy your surroundings the Cabo is the place to go! We thouroughly enjoyed ourselves in Cabo. We just walked around and looked at most everything. The highlight of our trip here was parasailing. We would recommed it to everybody! Don't Miss: Parasailing, Cabo is evern more beautiful from the air! Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa, Mexico 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 65+ Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Group Never again......... by Joe from PA, USA Sailing date: Jun 2007 Pros: Service staff. The ship took an "outside" route the first day and over half the passangers were sea sick... After first day the ship stayed on the "inside" passage and everything was great but at this expense the loss of one day cannot and should not happen. I was not sick but my traveling companion was and therefore I loss the day also. Need more activities for older generation.
