Sail Date: Jul 2014

This was my 1st time sailing with Princess but my hubbies 2nd as he cruised with his previous spouse, we usually cruise with Celebrity but I wanted to check out Princess and I am very happy that I did. We booked last minute and sailed a 14 night Vancouver round trip, it was cheaper to sail home than to fly from Anchorage Alaska to Vancouver BC Canada so a 7 night cruise became 14.

The service was exceptional, all over the ship, it really was outstanding ,I was very impressed. I found the food to be very good, enjoying lots of seafood and juicy steaks, I ordered lots of appys to try different things but also to get extra seafood, ie king crab legs was not a main course so I ordered 4 of them as a meal, you just need to think about things sometimes and I ordered 2 meals when it was lobster tails skipping the appys etc. and the desserts delicious.

We became regulars at the International Cafe, it's those desserts again in the centre of the ship, my husband bought coffee cards, 1 for each week, as he is a coffee hound and enjoyed fancy coffees 24 hours a day with the bonus of free regular coffee, teas and hot chocolate, you just have to show your card as it doesn't count as a special coffee but without the card there is a small fee to drink here.

Cabin Review

The inside cabin was very clean well appointed and very comfortable we did miss our usual window but for a very hot price we could manage just fine. We were expecting it to be a little noisy as per other reviews but it was peaceful, very quiet and nice and dark at night, as lots of people were commenting on not sleeping well due to the long Alaskan daylight hour. My only complaint about the cabin would be that as we booked last minute we were at the very back and we seemed to be walking forever, as the ship is rather big.
