Creator's Key Takeaways

I just got back from a seven night cruise to Alaska aboard the royal princess this was a family cruise and it was our first time trying out Princess Cruise Lines

the royal princess did not disappoint this is a beautiful pool deck and the pools are beautiful they are extra beautiful at night when they are lit up in different colors

I was blown away I had low expectations for some reason coming into this cruise I guess because I've never cruised princess before the singing the acting the quality of the entertainment here was phenomenal

Princess handled Glacier Bay spectacularly it was treated as a very special day they canceled all activities for the day so there would be no noise no distractions
