This was not our first cruise to Alaska, nor will it be our last. This was our first time sailing with princess. We went with the traditional dining and we loved our waiters, they had our drinks on the table waiting for us and knew what we would like after the second night. The food in the dining room was very good, we never got a bad dish. The buffet was okay, reminded me of a economy Vegas buffet, wished they had a little bit more variety. We loved the piazza and spent a lot of our free time watching different acts perform or eating at the pizza place or international cafe. I was very disappointed in the princess dancers and singers, their production was very dated and even my 10 year old twins were not impressed. The other acts they hired were far better. My kids loved the discovery shark week activities. Husband loved all the GoPro seminars. This would be the perfect cruise for families and those that have not taken a lot of cruises.
Even though it said full obstructed view we were able to see out and the room had lots of light. The cabin was large enough for 2 adults and 2 kids. Loved the large closet.
