Cruise was very good. The room was large and the food was good. I would have liked to been able to use either dining room for a menu meal, but we were assigned a certain one. It was crowded so we ate buffet the most often.

An improvement would be some other soft drink included besides iced tea. All others had to be paid for on your princess card. I was not impressed with the "shopping" program on board. It was an hour meeting telling you how you could buy a shopper card and get all these free things. Princess should not have to do this for the local merchants on the ports.

I did enjoy the excursions but they were somewhat pricey. My favorite was the Best of Juneau. We did see whales, humpbacks and killer. My least favorite was panning for Gold. You get a pan with a small amount of sand, etc. and when you look through that it is over. There is a short tour of a mining operation and an outdoor meal. The meal was okay but I did not like the baked salmon. We also did the land tour which involved two different train rides. I did not like the length of these. The princess train is on two levels. You sightsee on the top. Moving near the top of the trees was very hard on the eyes. The meal was on the first level. The service was poor and slow.Food was okay.
