Traveling up the Inside Passage has been on our bucket list for years and this year, celebrating our 40th, was the year to finally do a cruise. We initially chose this cruise at a special Princess Cruises presentation at AAA. Our experience surpassed our expectations. The ship furnishings were lovely, we loved having a balcony room, and the food and service were top notch, as were the entertainment options. We never thought we would love cruising, but we are ready to book another within the next year or two.

The entertainment/activity options on board the ship were numerous and we sometimes had a difficult time choosing! We appreciated the evening deliveries of the newsletters that included the next day's schedule and information about the port we'd be stopping at. The bed was very comfortable and we were surprised, with all the people on board the ship, how quiet it was inside the room. Room service was exceptional--we have never been so spoiled!
