Coral Princess was an excellent cruise ship for Alaska. Embarkation from Vancouver went smoothly for American but we heard that for foreign citizens it took much longer. Went to the ports of Ketchican, Juneau and Skagway. Cruised Glacier Bay and College Fjord.

The First night onboard.. I would go to early dinner in the dining room but get there early because it can get very crowded that first night. The Dining room food was very good. The Buffet for breakfast and lunch was excellent. Service was excellent by all the Princess staff. Entertainment shows by the Princess singers and dancers was very enjoyable.

There was a naturalist who gave a number of excellent talks on nature and wildlife in Alaska. Also, in Glacier Bay a number of Park rangers came onboard to talk about life in Alaska. The ship had a laundromat on every floor ( a nice feature) but they didn't always stock the room with detergent or coins. Read more
