THE CRUISE – The first Alaska cruise of the season. Eleven days. Round-trip from San Francisco. Nice mix of ports and sea days.
THE SHIP – We have cruised on the Star Princess once before and she is still beautiful. Prior to our boarding, there was a flood on part of the Aloha deck and some of the carpeting was replaced during the first few days of the cruise. Also, a leak from the ceiling in the Princess Theater was repaired during the cruise. The MUTS screen had some distortion which was really annoying after dark.
WEATHER – Anyone who has traveled the Inside Passage will not believe that we had beautiful sunny weather in ALL our ports and in San Francisco both before and after the cruise. Sailing out under the Golden Gate Bridge in a blaze of sunshine is amazing.
