I loved this cruise! The staff was spectacular remembering names, preferences and even account number! Food was great on all but one night when I found my salmon dry so sent it back and got a Curtis selection that was delish. If you don't like something, just change to something else. Never a second glance! Spa service was really great (stone massage). Absolutely do the tasting menu!!!! Devine experience all around (sign up early!). Derek Floyd in the Crooners was a highlight. A true delight and amazing talent. See his Lionel Ritchie show for a real treat. Try it every pizza in the Piazza and each specialty coffee, too. And if you're thinking of not getting the all inclusive package, think again. Beat that game every single day with ease (and delight at a reasonable final bill!). Destinations delightful, weather spectacular and seas calm after day two (first two days pretty rough... Bring those patch things for behind your ear). Trip of a lifetime and loved every second. Bravo Princess! Tip: you'd be surprised how few people wear tiaras on board!?! Ours were a hit!

Port Reviews

Ketchikan

Nice to walk around. Salmon spawning really interesting and could watch for hours! Check out Dolly's house... Great little tour. Red Dog Saloon lots of fun.

Victoria

Short stop. Lovely town but if you hit here on a Sunday, lots will be closed. Do a tour if yes.

San Francisco

Extended out stay at the end. Loved Fishermans Wharf and Pier 39. Yummy clam chowder!! Do the trolley for nostalgia for sure. Lovely and reasonable hotel in Nob Hill is The Carlton Hotel... Nice wine tasting and music in the lobby each evening akin to the cruise atmosphere.
