My daughter recommended Princess, but I had previously sailed aboard this cruise line to Alaska (another wonderful experience.) It was fantastic experience, even better than my previous cruise. The staff was overwhelmingly friendly and efficient, the entertainment was awesome, with individual performers being possibly the best in the industry. My biggest problems were trying to decide which bar to choose and which entertainer I wanted to see and at what hour. To name a few, there was the Consonance Duo, a classical violin-piano duet but with a funny bend. Young, personable and oh-so-talented. If there was a request and they could not honor it, be sure that at the next performance it would be included. Tommy at the piano bar was hilarious, and audience friendly, but not shy about poking fun at the unsuspecting too-serious audience member. Barbi, the featured soprano, had impeccable coloratura skills, but had no problem singing the "Chicken Dance" during an impromptu performance with the Consonance Duo. The aboard-ship band was dynamic, fun and delightfully upbeat. Be prepared to either dance with the singers or sing a couple of lines. It was a wonderful experience that can only be remedied by booking another cruise.
