1st time cruise and must say it was amazing! Flew into Seattle the day before the cruise, checked out the Folk Festival which was a fun experience. Embarkation went smoothly and we were on board without any hassle. The CD staff on the Ruby Princess to Alaska (Kassia, Anna, Cesar, Johnny, Pauly, Shea and especially Wally) were absolutely phenomenal & entertaining!! I haven't laughed that hard in long time! The dance classes, zumba classes, game shows and activities were exceptional and fun!! The ship service was great! Ports and excursions were breathtaking! Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Ketchikan and Victoria were full of beautiful nature and history. Getting on and off the ship in each port was simple, easy and fast. The interior cabin was the perfect size for two people without feeling cramped. The whole staff were friendly and welcoming! Would definitely recommend Princess for anyone who is thinking of cruising! Kudos to the staff!! Great job!!
