This was our first cruise and we had a balcony cabin as we didn't want to miss out on seeing anything. We chose the Coral Princess as it was a slightly smaller ship with less people on board. We are from New Zealand and this was our first time in Canada and Alaska.
This cruise was absolutely fabulous. The scenery was breathtaking, the food was delicious, the bed was comfortable, the crew were always polite and helpful, the entertainment was great. I couldn't fault Princess Cruises from start to finish.
The ports had lovely small towns that you could walk around and just enjoy the places. We did not go on any of the excursions.
The Cabin was the perfect size for the two of us and was well worth having a balcony.
