There were 3 of us traveling...me (40's), daughter (12 1/2) and mom (70's). We chose this cruise because of the itinerary, which was CA coastal (with San Francisco overnight). My mom and I had sailed with Princess many times (8 for me and 25 for her), but had been primarily sailing Royal Caribbean recently. We initially booked a mini-suite, but had concerns of only having the tub/shower ...
We had not been to several ports in this itinerary, so we thought it was a good choice. The ship is a little dated ie: shower very small with curtain as opposed to other ships with door to the shower. The cabin and balcony were a good size, except that there was no couch and just one chair to sit on. The two specialty restaurants were very good. The service and food was exceptional. The regular ...
I was surprised the reviews of the boat were so negative. The boat is fine and if something is not right, the staff will fix it right away. The food was excellent, we had some very tender steaks in the dining rooms. I didn’t think the steakhouse specialty dining room was any better or worse than the main dining rooms. The Italian specialty dining room was an experience though, they gave you 6 ...
My husband and I went on this Alaska cruise as a celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary (which occurred in 2020, so it was actually our 53rd). We have been on other cruise lines; this was our first with Princess. We were so impressed with our trip that we wanted to share this information.
Our stateroom was very clean and spacious....and we loved our balcony! Great to have the balcony ...
Since we are older, we wanted to take our children and grandchildren on a land tour of and cruise along Alaska. We chose the Sapphire Princess because it had a Grand Suite that could accommodate all 13 of us when we got together. We have sailed on various cruise lines and had different suites. The Grand Suite on the Sapphire Princess was far and away the best suite in which we have stayed. ...
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary on this bucket list trip. We had sky high expectations and were not disappointed. This was our first time cruising on Princess and will definitely cruise with them again. Our itinerary took us to both great natural wonders at Hubbard Glacier and Glacier Bay National Park as well as fun adventures like dog sledding in Skagway and whale watching in Juneau. ...
4 generations of our family flew to Los Angeles from BC for a week in Disneyland. This cruise brought us home with amazing stops in San Francisco, Astoria and Victoria. We intended to use the cruise to recover from Disneyland but found that there was just too much to do on the ship and in port. We enjoyed one formal night which gave the little ones a chance to dress as a little gentleman (3 year ...

Our cruise to the Panama Canal on Emerald Princess did not disappoint, it was a great ratio of at sea days vs port days. The embarkation and disembarkation both ran smoothly. The staff were exceptional, especially our cabin steward. On day 1 he got extra hangers for me and removed the small table, replacing it with an extra chair. Our balcony stateroom was faded and the age really showed but it ...
We booked this cruise at the spur of the moment, and did not shop around to see other options. That said, we were very pleased with the cruise overall.
This was our eighth cruise on Princess, and the cruise line's quality of service has always been outstanding for every cruise we've taken over the years. The entire crew are wonderful - they all have a great deal of enthusiasm and are eager ...
