the ghost Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Hey guys I have been on I think five cruises so far with three cruise lines. The Companies Disney- Wonder Carnival-??? Royal Caribbean- Voyager of the Seas Royal Caribbean- Serenade of the Seas Royal Caribbean- Explorer of the Seas This Summer Princess- Diamond Princess- Trip to Alaska My Grandparents picked the ship and the shore excursions we picked sound fun. I have heard princess is for older people, I know all cruises are kind of like that but I LOVED!!! all the royal Caribbean cruises. Will I have an ok time or will I be bored out of my mind. Keep in mind that I will have only just turned seventeen when we leave. Anyone have any help/advice/ reviews of princess. The ship seems okay but I have seen very few pictures. Get back to me as soon as possible. Thanks Guys The Ghost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Well, I've been on a 11-day Princess cruise to the Mexican Riviera, and just got back from two weeks in Alaska on Celebrity, so... Haven't been on Royal Carib, but my understanding is that, yes, it does skew younger and have more onboard activities than Princess. The ages of passengers really depends on the date and length of cruise, though. In any case, of the three liines I've sailed (including Holland America), Princess seemed the least formal and most laid back. And there's always the Love Boat Dream for dessert... In any case, Alaska is amazing (and I've spent time in the Sierras and the Andes). And if you do some research, there's plenty of really active independent travel you can do instead of the ship's excursions. Assuming you're fairly self-directed, you should be busy enough in port - and the scenery when your sailing should be fantastic enough - for you not to suffer too much. Which ports will you be hitting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 This is from the website Voyage of the Glaciers - Vancouver to Whittier This itinerary features a 7-day cruise with ports of call in Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway plus glacier-viewing in Glacier Bay National Park and College Fjord. I know for sure we are ziplining at at least one of these ports. Thanks so much, I loved Alaska when we were there and have never been on a bad cruise so I am not trying to sound spoiled and or ungrateful but was just wondering if there is anything I should know specifically.
