As a family of four (2 adult children!), we absolutely loved our experience, and so pleased we chose this lovely ship and crew. As most know there are so so many components to a cruise, an awful lot has to come together, at the right time, almost perfectly because people are after positive memories on the whole to take back with them. My wife and I stayed in a balcony room midship, with our son in an inside room close by. It was a perfect location to access all areas of the ship easily, as well as being a good place to be in 12-15 foot wave swell on our second day! Our daughter chose an Oceanview Guarantee and entered a bid for an upgrade and was delighted to be given a view out of the front of the ship. The best room and view ever she said! Our cabin steward Angel was absolutely faultless, so nice respectful and good to talk to, and serviced our room to a very high standard each day, spotless, a joy to go back into each time. There’s is so much to write about our trip, where do you start, and finish! But I will try to be brief about those areas in my mind I can relay to at this moment so soon after stepping off the ship. Buffet - It was okay as far as buffet’s go in my opinion. Some are usually stacked so much with so many variety’s at times that the plate you end up staring at when you sit down you seriously wonder if you should have put all that different food together! The balance of food looked just right without over doing it. Seating around busy times was sometimes a little challenge, it always is but you could find a table a little away from the immediate food areas. Dining - We had the Premier package and visited both specialty restaurants and MDR’s alternately it seemed as we went along. MDR’s in particular can be a bit hit and miss on occasion’s especially the walk in ones where it’s pot luck who will attend to your table, but can gladly say apart from one evening early where things were not up to scratch we had enjoyable experiences in these. We went into Sabatini’s once, and the Crown Grill several times! Loved the service in these, and the latter had a lovely Filet Mignon steak which was a real hit after being discovered. A warning if that’s the right word that you will feel stuffed as you leave these. Entertainment - On this occasion and destination in particular I felt on the whole the balance was right in areas of the ship where acts performed. Some acts were better than others, they always are. I must raise however that the main venue the theatre had a game of two halves. After a slow start and acts which can be very marmite with audiences at times in comedian’s and jugglers, we saw more talent as the period progressed and shows people really wanted to see involving the younger singer and dance entertainers. If felt like they were being held in a closet away from the limelight before being unleashed on an unsuspecting audience. Just where had they been, although in truth with more sea days towards the end of the cruise perhaps a cunning credible plan by Princess to keep the best until last where shows would be better attended? I must also say that some guests onboard contributed to the entertainment scene with their Karaoke in the Explorer’s Bar. Some real characters in there, not the best singers but some we grew to love with their personalities and presence on stage which at times was hilarious. Our cruise was an 11 nighter from Vancouver and in amongst sea days visiting Sitka, Glacier Bay, Skagway, Juneau, Hubbard Glacier, Icy Strait Point and Ketchikan before our return back to Vancouver. At these ports while going into the many many shops selling the same sort of thing we went on a train ride, helicopter with glacier visit, whale watching tour, lumberjack show, zip ride and duck tour. All ranged from good to brilliant! In all, as and when we return to Alaska to see more sights we would use Princess and this ship if it fitted the itinerary we were seeking at the time. We’ve had a wonderful time, and left with many many memories we will treasure.
