Exceeded our Expectations
by Deb F from Eastern Shore, MD
Sailing date:
Aug 2011
Pros:
Scenery
Cons:
Smoky Casino
Great food with large portions in the dining room. Clean staterooms and public areas. Buffet was excellent. Ports of call were top notch. Service was very good, especially in the buffet area. This was my 3rd cruise to Alaska and it exceeded my expectations in all ways. You can't go wrong with Princess.

First Cruise
by Dawn from Seatle, WA
Sailing date:
Feb 2011
Pros:
Able to relax
Cons:
sales pitches
Overall this was a wonderful cruise where there was plenty to do when we were at sea. The first couple of days I did not like the sales push of certain things on the cruise, but after the third day it was not happening.

Dining/Food
We had great food every night of the ship. We choose the anytime dining. Yes majority of the nights, if we did not make a reservation we had to use the pager. We didn't mind because by the time we got a cocktail, our table was ready!
Stateroom Quality
After leaving the first nights sleep, we both decided that we needed a new mattress at home. What a wonderful sleep!!!
Ship Staff Quality
Staff was always making our stay comfortable and enjoyable, except the beginning with the sales pitch. The good thing was, if you say no here they would stop.

I would have been happy skipping this port. Next time I will stay on the ship.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
It was okay. We enjoyed walking around the town. Maybe next time we will get an excursion. But for the first time, it was neat just walking around the and "ignoring" the people trying to sell you crap.
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
I wish we had more time to spend at this port. What a beautiful place!!! If we do not do a cruise, we will definitely vacation there. I am glad this was our last place, because the best you always want to save for the last.

Best Cruise Destination - ALASKA!
by Taras T from Tulsa, OK
Sailing date:
Jul 2011
Pros:
ALASKA
Cons:
Getting to Seattle by plane
A cruise to Alaska is the best way to visit Alaska. Some very interesting places have no access to them but by water and air. Obviously, it would be difficult to travel by air to a few cities in one trip. So, it just leaves the water. And, if you are staying in an all-inclusive resort, i.e. a luxury cruise liner - you have the best of the best!

Princess Cruises really impressed us with their service, cleanliness and food!
Dining/Food
24 hour a day, literally, all you can eat exclusive food of every flavor!
Stateroom Quality
We went relatively cheap. The room was small, but we really didn't spend much time in it.

The Glacier was spectacular! Go there by a local shuttle - $16 both ways. They will tell you everything you need to know about the city during the ride and you can spend as much time as you want at the Glacier and the waterfall.
Don't Miss:
The Glacier
Ketchikan, Alaska
Must see the town and local shops, like in every city afterwards also. Don't waste time on visiting the stores owned by cruiselines (most of the jewelry stores). Zip line adventure was awesome!
Don't Miss:
Walk through the town
Skagway, Alaska
Very pleasant nature and interesting history.
Don't Miss:
The train ride
Victoria, British Columbia
We didn't expect to see a city full of art and artists there. You feel like you are in Europe all of the sudden and there is something going on on every corner.
Don't Miss:
Walk through the city center.
