I went to Alaska on the Star Princess from Aug 2-9. This was my second trip on the Star. The ship was in good shape and was kept very clean. We arrived at Pier 91 in Seattle at 11:00am (via cab $15 w/tip from downtown hotel) and had no wait to check in and only a very short wait to actually get on the ship. It was the quickest I ever got on a ship and the staterooms were available immediately. I had no problems taking a taxi to the pier...no traffic at all. Disembarkation was very smooth too and I had no problem getting a shuttle to the airport (used Shuttle Express for $16 each). I disembarked around 8:30am.
Here are my thoughts on likes and things that could have been better:
FOOD:
Tiny bathroom and tiny, tiny shower. Location was mid-ship, high and was fine. Closet space was fine for 2.
