This cruise was to fill my parent's bucket list and I feel it did just that!!! We started our trip with a couple of days in Seattle, WA sight seeing. My parents are elderly and have a little trouble getting around so we decided at the last minute to rent a van to make it easier to park and not walk up the steep hills.

Our cruise day started with our trip to the pier for our 12pm assigned embarkation time. )Princess Cruise has a set time for embarkation and debarkation, they have this down to a science and that really made things go smoothly.) The porters at the pier were hard to find, but once we got one to help, we were escorted to the check in line and were on the ship in about 30 minutes. Our rooms were ready when we boarded which was a 1st for us and lunch was hot and ready also....the buffet lines were a bit crowded at 1st but there were people there to help us and lead us to a table.

This cruise was everything we expected and more. There were so many activities we just couldn't get everything in. My parents wore themselves out having fun and enjoying the scenery! The Naturalist on board we great and we learned so much about the vast land of Alaska. Read more
