Sky Princess

Pros: Great wait staff, great food
Cons: Trip was more like a hotel on water

So many cruises and cruise lines!! How do you choose? We decided to pick where we wanted to go and for how long, then find out what cruise lines fit the bill. "Where" was easy. Alaska, no doubt. We live in the hot and humid Mid South, on the...

We both worked on the ship....

Pros: luxurious, fun, scenic

Sky Dive on Sky Princess!

Ten of my family members including my family of three cruised on the Sky Princess in June 1998. We boarded in Seward and cruised the inside passage to Vancouver B.C. What a terrible experience. We had four...

Pros: good food, staff, and accommodations
Cons: costs more than a little pocket change

Alaska by far is the most beautiful place I have ever been, unlike the lower 48, its beauty lies in the pristine quality of the Alaskan wilderness. With the Sky Princess, you can view the thick evergreen forests traveling from Vancouver to Seward, or...
