Pacific Princess June 24 – July 1, 2014  This was our second Alaskan cruise and second on a small ship

Headed up to the buffet for lunch and wish I had checked the times for the main dining room as there was a long line, took about 30 minutes to get to the food area. This was the only time we encountered a wait, guess everyone came at once and not familiar on how to maneuver through the different food stations.
