   Exceeded our Expectations by
Deb F from Eastern Shore, MD Sailing date: Aug 2011Pros: 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 2011Pros: 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. Ship Quality
Dining/FoodWe 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 QualityAfter leaving the first nights sleep, we both decided that we needed a new mattress at home. What a wonderful sleep!!! Ship Staff QualityStaff 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. Entertainment & Activities
Collapse List of Ports
Mazatlan, MexicoI would have been happy skipping this port. Next time I will stay on the ship.
Puerto Vallarta, MexicoIt 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, MexicoI 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 2011Pros: 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! Ship QualityPrincess Cruises really impressed us with their service, cleanliness and food! Dining/Food24 hour a day, literally, all you can eat exclusive food of every flavor! Stateroom QualityWe went relatively cheap. The room was small, but we really didn't spend much time in it. Ship Staff Quality

Children's ProgramsI think this cruise was mostly for adults

Juneau, AlaskaThe 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, AlaskaMust 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, AlaskaVery pleasant nature and interesting history.
Don't Miss: The train ride Victoria, British ColumbiaWe 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. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful.
