This is our third cruise from San Francisco to Alaska. We are from Sacramento, CA and our travel agency provided free bus transportation to S.F. and return. We loaded our baggage onto the bus in Sacramento and it was delivery to our cabin by 4:00 pm.

Embarkation: Bus arrived at Pier 27 in San Francisco around 12:45 PM. Princess agent met us on the bus and provided a short check in briefing. Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass with you. After security check, Princess agent directed us to check in area. The lines was not long for Elite member. Check in was fast and easy. The first photo line was at the gangway. You can skip the lines if you don't want photo. We were on the ship within 15 minutes after check in. We went to eat lunch at the buffet. You can also eat at the one of the restaurants, 24 hour cafe, burger joint or pizza restaurant.

After lunch, we checked into our cabin then walk around top deck to view the ship and San Francisco. We had perfect weather that day.

Cabin Review

Interior

Cabin IF

Cabin was nice. We had an excellent room steward named Rodrigo and he kept our cabin cleaned at all time. We did not spend much time in the cabin.

Port Reviews

Haines

Haines is a very small down. The walk to downtown is about 10 minutes. Nice fishing down and excellent view of the mountain.

Juneau

Juneau is my favorite town in Alaska. Mendenhall Glancier is a must. Great shopping!

San Francisco

The new San Francisco Pier 27 is excellent. The building is very nice and check in was very smooth.

Ketchikan

Excellent shopping and parks.

Victoria

Victoria is a very beautiful city. Very clean. We walked to town in about 30 minutes. It's a short visit.
