Coral Princess to Alaska Cruisetour July 25 - August 4, 2008
Part I - Land Tour We (myself and my mother) decided to take a Princess.com offer for a cruisetour with the booking of a mini-suite last winter. We had traveled the Coral Princess on a Panama Canal partial transit, so the choice of ship was easy. Alaska is the last of the 50 states Mom was to visit, so this was a special vacation for both of us.
We departed Orlando on Friday morning, via Alaska Air (booked through Princess). Princess does a great job of getting passengers and their luggage to their first stop. You pick up your room keys and itinerary from the tour desk in the luggage area, tag your luggage and board the coach for transfer to the hotel. Also included in the information package is a Lodge Princess Patter and information about Fairbanks.
A mini-suite is great. Full size tub is a plus. The room has a little extra storage and a full size sofa. This cabin if forward but it was a very smooth sail. There is no balcony above, so you get full sun and a great view of the bridge.
