Editorial Summary

The creators provide a detailed review of a seven night Princess Cruises sailing in Alaska aboard the Majestic Princess. They evaluate various aspects of the cruise including dining, onboard entertainment, enrichment programs, and shore excursions. The reviewers highlight improvements in the main dining room food quality and praise the new specialty restaurant, The Catch by Rudy, for its fresh seafood. They also appreciate the Alaska themed enrichment programming, such as lectures by local experts and naturalists. However, they express disappointment with the energy levels of the piazza parties and the quality of the main theater productions, which they felt were average compared to other cruise lines. The review covers stateroom accommodations, noting the benefits of a premium balcony for scenic viewing, and discusses the efficiency of the crew and service. The creators also share their experiences with various ports of call, including Icy Strait Point, Juneau, and Ketchikan, offering specific feedback on excursions like dog sledding and totem pole tours. They conclude by discussing the unique itinerary that allowed for extended time in ports and scenic cruising through Glacier Bay.

Creator's Key Takeaways

Princess Cruises has a reputation for being the best cruise line in Alaska but is it really

this main dining room experience was much better than our cruise to years ago in terms of both food quality and preparation

the service even though the ship was close to capacity we never felt the crowds the hard-working crew did a fabulous job

when it comes to nighttime entertainment well here's where Princess Cruises really fall short for us
