Cabin: Mini-Suite with Balcony

This was our 2nd cruise on the Pacific Princess (Black Sea two years ago) and our second Alaska cruise (NCL about 15 years ago). So, we knew what to expect on both counts. The Pacific Princess is our preferred size of ship; at 600+ passengers, it has all the amenities of a larger ship, but is small enough to get around easily. And after a couple of days, we begin to recognize the other passengers.

Food is delicious on the Pacific Princess! I was prepared; I actually lost a couple of pounds (in preparation) before the cruise. Good thing since I gained a few pounds, mostly in the Panorama Buffet! We also did both specialty restaurants and they were very good. Food in the traditional dining room was good, but nothing spectacular. We even had room service one day (a special breakfast arranged by our travel agent). That was really good too! We've been on several other cruise lines and I think the Pacific Princess has the best food.

We had a really good cabin; we were on the 8th deck in a "mini-suite." It had the most storage of any ship we've ever been on. The bathroom even had a bathtub! The cabin was quiet. The balcony was large, and great for viewing the glaciers on Glacier Bay.

Mini-Suite with Balcony

Cabin ME

Upgrade from a veranda to a mini-suite was well worth it! Cabin was light and airy and we had tons of storage (and hangers)! Bathroom was small, but it had a bathtub. Larger balcony was also very appreciated.

Port Reviews

Vancouver

We went to Vancouver 5 days before the cruise. What a great city! Strongly urge other travelers to check out Vancouver at least a couple of days before the cruise.
