Lets talk about Princess Cruise line

I think the thing with cruising is, you have to do it before you know it if it is for you.

I totally agree. DH and I are planning an Alaskan cruise for our 25th wedding anniversary in 3 years. I'm really hoping we can throw in a 3 to 5 day cruise next year to make sure cruising is really for us.

I say this. If you're going to do one cruise, make it the Alaska one. That one lends itself to cruising more than any other. And you'll like the trip even if you find that cruising itself isn't for you. Just make sure you book the excursions you want and book them early.

I can’t give any insight except my in-laws sailed on a Princess ship to Alaska and loved every minute of it.

I cruised on the Crown Princess to Alaska 2 years ago. I loved the ports but the ship needed dry dock badly. The stabilizers were shot and I was seasick most of the time. That being said the staff were awesome, my husband and I enjoyed the food and loved the entertainment offered. I loved the experience (minus the seasick part) so much that we are cruising on the Majestic this summer to Alaska again and taking our grandson as a graduation present. I have no clue what class ships they are but we were happy with them.

I lurked on the Princess board on Cruise Critic 2 years ago before my Majestic sailing and I recall that people had a LOT of problems with the Crown Princess. I seem to recall that they also were down an engine so they had to adjust their itinerary because they couldn't cover enough ground. Our favorite bar on the Majestic was the Crooner's Bar next to the casino. It was quiet and always had seats and had the best bartenders.

One of the best ways to annoy cruisers is to change up the itinerary. Doesn't matter if it's weather, mechanical issues or whales. You were prepared to go to this one place and now you're not.

True, but that is regardless of ship or cruiseline. You can have bad luck with every line and ship.

Absolutely!
