Family of five with three children ages 13, 12 and nine. We spent three days pre cruise in Anchorage, then sailed on the Sun Princess southbound on 6/27.
Bought Princess transfers from airport. We were on the first shuttle to Whittier. Driver was pleasant and informative. Had a five minute wait at the tunnel. Once off the bus we waited maybe ten minutes in line. Paperwork went smoothly and we were on the ship.
Had lunch in Horizon court and explored the ship. Yes, she shows signs of age-worn carpet and nicks in the dressers, but she was very clean. The crew was friendly and service was terrific. We had two cabins, an inside triple and an outside balcony on Aloha deck. Our room steward was amazing. The towels were always fresh, no matter how many showers we took. The beds were made while we were at breakfast and the beds turned down while we were at dinner.
