Interesting about Princess being voted best cruise to Alaska. I cruised on Princess to Alaska this past July 2017. It was the WORST cruise we have ever been on! Their selection of food was awful, they didn’t have any decent evening entertainment, they were supposed to be by the glacier, but we didn’t even come close to it. Even the staff didn’t seem to want to be there. The service was slow the waiters at dinner were rude. I took my dad on his first/only cruise and he ended up eating hotdogs or burgers and fries for almost every meal.(He’s not interested in going on another one.) I talked to many others on our ship who were incredibly disappointed in our princess cruise. The food was the biggest disappointment! That’s one of the reasons you choose to cruise.
The best part of our trip was when we were on land. We saw some spectacular sights and had some great food! Oh, wait, the casino was fun too. The movie on deck was cool too ( but oh so cold).
We have cruised on Carnival, Royal Caribbean and NCL. This was our second cruise to Alaska. We chose Royal Caribbean the first time. Royal Caribbean was by far the best!!!
I personally would NEVER choose Princess again. Big disappointment!
