Creator's Key Takeaways

I really enjoy the terrace pool. So that's the one at the aft of the ship.

It was warm. We were in Alaska, so it was definitely heated during our sailing.

I do appreciate that it's closed in. Great for Alaska.

I do appreciate, and I've noticed this before on Princess, that those pools or hot tubs, I should say, are open till midnight, which is much appreciated.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Ask staff about hot tub hours as they may not be posted.
Bring your own Yeti mug to fill with complimentary coffee from the upper decks.
Check the Princess Patter or app for activity schedules.
