My wife and I just returned from a 7day Inside Passage Cruise aboard the Star Princess. It was the most relaxing and luxurious cruise we have been on. We were able to upgrade from a mini-suite/balcony to a full suite for a very nominal fee. Since we were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary it was money well spent.

The Star outshined herself and was a floating palace on the waves. Our stateroom steward, Edgar, was phenomenal! On the Inside Passage cruise in September you should expect rain, drizzle, sunshine and whatever else. Well, we experienced all of it, but being travelers use to adverse conditions, it made little difference.

The scenery was outstanding and just beyond belief. Mountains, waterfalls, snowcapped peaks, glaciers, waterfalls, fjords, wildlife, waterfalls, whales: humpback and orca, stellar sea lions, and did I mention waterfalls. They were everywhere. Well, we have taken the cruise before, but we were still astounded by the sheer magnificence of the wonder of God's beauty.

Cabin Review

While we really enjoyed the Barbados Suite C415, there was almost no noise but there are a couple of major recommendations that both the wife and I would make.

First: Is to replace the sofa! It looked worn, shabby and somewhat dirty! I wouldn't have it in my house! Also it was extremely uncomfortable and hard for older passengers to get out of.

Secondly, the shower drained so slow that at times we were afraid that it would overflow the door jam.

Otherwise, we were very impresssed with the ship and it's maintenance. I am a retired industrial engineer and sometimes I look at things differently from other people.

We are looking forward to our next cruise on PCL.
