Wonderful overall

Ship left out of Seattle which is convenient for us. We've done Alaska 10 times and wanted something different. This itinerary fit the bill. Ports of call were interesting and I adore the Ruby Princess. My only complaint is that food quality seems to be less impressive than in previous years. Deserts and appetizers were wonderful, but on two nights the entrees were merely OK. My waiters offered ...

First of all, no hand sanitizers except at the beginning of the restaurants. When returning to port, they had to go back and find one as I complained about the lack of sanitizers! I would be scared to take another Princess cruise! Secondly, the food was greasy and tasteless. My husband is usually easy to please but we both found it disgusting. We ate out at every port. Had to send back ...

Pacific Coastal Cruise - Roundtrip Seattle

Very enjoyable experience with super efficient boarding and disembarkation process (both Princess and Customs). Our only complaint is that while the ship is non-smoking, there are designated smoking areas such as one corner of the promenade deck that interfered with our enjoyment of walking laps consistently in fresh air, and some areas of upper decks that remained closed for the duration of the ...

Birthday Cruise

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

My friend & I decided to celebrate our Birthday’s this year by taking a cruise & we both really wanted to see Alaska so the Inside passage seemed to be the one to choose. Our boarding of the cruise ship went very smoothly & the weather was great. We attended many of the on board activities including movies under the stars. Our trip planner set up a birthday dinner at Curtis Stones restaurant ...

It's a very large ship with a lot of people to serve. Don't expect personal service or much attention from the crew. Food is decent but with the best reserved for the $30pp specialty restaurants. Activities are the usual uninteresting mix. Best part of the ship "The Sanctuary" is reserved for extra paying guests. Don't bother. Stage shows are exactly what you've seen on every cruise you have been ...

High Wine & Liquor Prices, Worst Crown Grill Experience

We cruised to be with another couple. Embarkation was exceptional. We arrived at 1115 AM and were on the ship in 20 minutes. Written material suggested we arrive at 2:30 PM based on our deck. I'd recommend going early. Wine and liquor prices continue to increase. No happy hour or wine card available. Things continue to change and the experience becomes unpredictable. Crown Grill ...

Pre-Drydock Sadness

Chose this cruise to get some serious R&R in after a stressful few months. It’s convenient since we live in Seattle and we’ve sailed aboard both the Ruby and other Princess ships. Sadly, the ship is due to drydock upon completion of this voyage and you can tell from the attitude of the crew and the number of venues/services unavailable. The men’s steam room was unavailable for the duration. ...

Food was good on most nights. Princess needs more comedy shows. The room was kept clean twice a day. All the employees were super friendly. Internet was slow. Book your shore excursions in advance. A lot were sold out but at most stops you could book something once you got off the ship. We had a lot of fun. The worst thing on the ship was the casino, very tight slots. Getting on the ship was a ...

I was really getting about this Pacific Northwest cruise after reading so many negative reviews on this site, but I am happy to say that we had a nice time. I should say we are in our 50s, and this was our 8th cruise, with our last being 3 years ago on NCL. We were on the last itinerary before this ship went into dry dock, so it can only be better now. My ooinion on a few things. * ...

Mainly, just wanted to do a cruise. Selected this one because It had places I had never been. Everything went well, easy getting on the ship, and especially loved the Valet embarkation. Have never had such fast and easy way of getting off the ship. I would take this option anytime it is offered to me. It is a very nice ship, and was glad to hear it was being updated when we finished ...
