Cruise and Princess excursion were great. All of the staff, entertainment and food on the ship were great. Cruise itself was a 10-10. Only problem we encountered was getting off. We had planned on using the luggage transfer from the ship direct to the airport, but was told we didn’t sign up in time. This service is offered if you have a 12pm or later flight. Our flight was 1:30 so that wasn’t a problem. We never received any info from Princess as to when we could sign up. Tried to sign up on the 3rd day and was told I didn’t do so in time. Should have done this on the first day or I think you may be able to sign up online. Our luggage was almost impossible to find once off the ship. It was not located where the tags listed and received no help finding it. It you have a quick flight do not let you luggage out of you sight. Also use the airport luggage transfer if you have a flight after 12pm and either sign up onboard ASAP or do so online before getting on the ship.
Pros: Great ports, excellent ship, wonderful staff
Cons: Disembarkation was a nightmare

We were a bit skeptical to take a cruise. But we ended up very impressed with the entire experience. The onboarding/ embarkation process was a bit hectic in Seattle, but once we were finally on board, things went very smoothly the rest of the trip. The Royal Princess staff were incredibly helpful in every possible area. Our steward was fantastic--room was always clean and comfortable. Also, the amount of activities, events and shows offered were quite good. Sometimes the service was a bit slow--but there are thousands of people on the ship, so I hesitate to complain about that. The food, overall, was pretty good. Plenty of options. The buffet can get a bit hectic but it's huge. The sit down restaurants were solid. Not saying everything was perfect, but we had no complaints. We booked one excursion through Princess. We booked 3 excursions separately. But I think next time it's just easier to use Princess to book excursions. I don't think the cost is that much different. In closing, great trip and experience. We are definitely interested in taking another cruise in the future.
Pros: Great staff. Very hard working across the board.
Cons: None really

We were first time cruisers, so we had no idea what to expect and had a little concern about being given clear, complete instructions on where we had to be and when we had to be there. Everything was clearly laid out with instructions printed out daily and left in our rooms for the next day. All of the Princess properties for the land adventures were top notch and the excursions far exceeded expectations. All of the ship's staff were very polite and accommodating. Meals were fantastic and so was the entertainment. If an Alaskan adventure is on your bucket list, I highly recommend Princess to take you there. If an Alaskan adventure is not on your bucket list, and you have never been there, I highly recommend you put it on your bucket list.
Pros: Very well organized from the start of the "land cruise" in Fairbanks right through the sailing down the coast.
Cons: None worth mentioning
