Island Princess Review

Additional details
This was my first Princess Cruise and although we paid a great price for a balcony cabin we were 12 hours leaving port, due to a mechanical problem, our itinerary changed, we did not go to Juneau as planned, we did not cruise the outside of Vancouver Island which I was looking forward too. The communications regarding the mechanical problem were poor but in general I would say all communications on board the ship were poor. The buffet food was adequate in quality, but nothing to get excited about. Getting off the ship at Ketchikan was a nightmare, we didn't arrive til 1:30 pm and the line to get off the ship was very long and took quite some time to leave. Getting on and off the ship for the first and last time went very well. I really liked the decor of the ship...it felt nautical, it felt like a ship which I like.
Cabin Review
Balcony
Cabin had the most comfortable bed that I've experienced on any cruise. There was not comfortable seating, just the "desk" chair. We did not find that the cabin was very clean. The shower was the smallest I've experienced.
Port Reviews
Ketchikan
Cute little town, obviously it relies very heavily on the cruise industry, too touristy~!
To correct my review; we were 12 hours late leaving Vancouver. We went under Lions Gate Bridge just after 3:00 am. I also should have stated that the bed was likely the most comfortable that I have experienced on any cruise.
