After reading some rather poor reviews on this site before our trip, I was somewhat concerned about the trip, but there was no need to be. We had a 14 day trip that combined Princess lodges at Fairbanks, Denali, and McKinley pretrip, as well as a Princess arranged stay at the Fairmont Waterfront in Vancouver with Victoria trip afterward. It was all wonderful. We had one bad meal at the Denali Lodge and a driver with a terrible cold at Vancouver but these were small things in an overall good vacation.

Our balcony cabin was comfortable with plenty of space for our belongings. We had the steward open the balcony to the next cabin where another couple travelling with was staying. He had to close it due to gale force winds, then reopen it later.

My only real complaint is about the early sitting time chane from 5:45 to 5:15. We changed to anytime dining but had to make reservations every night. Reservations are only taken for 5:15, 5:30 and 7:30 or later. The food was excellent.
