Princess Alaska Inside Passage with Tracy Arm Fjord July 28-Aug 4, 2012

Let me start this review with some background on our cruising history, etc. We were a group of 7 traveling on this trip -- my parents (50s), brother and his wife (20s), myself (31), DH (38) and our 2 ½ year old DD. My DH and I are Diamond members with Royal Caribbean. No one in my group had sailed with Princess and none of us had been to Alaska before. So lots of new experiences for us and a good comparison to follow between RCCL and Princess cruise lines! We always book our cruises thru Cruises Only -- our TA there is magnificent and highly recommended!

I will attempt to go in order of our itinerary here, but may bounce around a little as I think of things. Read more
