Itâs hard to say which is best. Itâs easy to say Princess, especially Royal Class, is the worst though. Otherwise, everyone seems to have lounges with really nice panoramic views. I like Celebrity Solstice Class Sky Lounge best for indoor views. The windows are twice as high as HALs Crows Nest. For an outdoors feel, RCIs Quantum Class forward facing Solarium is really nice.

Which Princess ship is the best for an Alaskan Cruise?
Cruzaholic41 replied to TPotthast's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
Ah, yes. Coral and Island are 2 old time favorites. OP - Go with Sapphire for the reasons Aquahound mentioned. Caribbean is a very crowded ship. -
I have sailed all 3 of these ships and Koningsdam would be my pick. Grand, and her whole ship class, is a ship I will never sail again as long as there are other choices. Grand is old and tired, and the cabins look and feel like visiting grandmas house. Zaandam is ok. She is nice for that small ship feel, but donât expect much for evening entertainment. I loved Koningsdam. She is a beautiful ship. Whenever I consider HAL, the Pinnacle Class ships are the first I look at.

Best Line for Me & Bestie to Cruise to Alaska
Cruzaholic41 replied to Iceinmywhitewine's topic in Alaska
Thatâs a tough call because you two are so different. Someone mentioned Celebrity Edge and I agree whole heartedly. Edge Class ships are amazing and are some of my favorite ships. Theyâre a great mix of class and good entertainment. Princess has good activities and great itineraries, but their ships are my least favorite of all cruise lines. For as good of a reputation they have in Alaska, youâd think theyâd build ships with better viewing spaces. I donât recommend Disney at all. Theyâre ok but for what you pay, theyâre just not worth it. If thatâs the way youâre leaning, go with RCI. -
If thatâs the place Iâm remembering in Whittier, it was the best halibut sandwich I ever had. I lived in Kodiak for 3 years when my husband was serving and still, that little place in Whittier is my favorite.

Wow, you people are something else. The topic was the âgood or badâ of HAL, NCL, and RCI. Read the first post. Entertainment is just as much a legitimate topic when comparing cruise lines as anything else, and that was verified by several in this thread who agreed. I went back and read this thread again. The first direct attack on another poster was by Coral in post 29, so how about calling out the source rather than the responses. By the way, I should remind you that posting under multiple accounts violates board rules.

You really need to let it go. You made a comment about not understanding why people want entertainment on AK cruises. That opinion was countered. Drop it. Your way isnât everyoneâs way.

I totally get what youâre saying. Iâm a very active 60-something who likes to dance the night away, even after an active day in port. For me, the cruise line and the cruise ship is just as important as the itinerary. Iâll never understand why certain posters just canât accept that other cruisers have different likes.

What are your thoughts on discussing politics in the MDR?
Cruzaholic41 replied to thermal's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
LOL. So true. But hey, isnât everyone who works for the government a Navy SEAL? đđ -
Huh? That doesnât make any sense.

I think the only way itâs ok is if you know you are with like-minded people, and you are able to keep the volume at a level other tables canât hear you. Nowadays, people get judged by such stupid reasons as being from a particular state. With as ugly of a year this is going to be, cruises should be a safe space to get away from all the nonsense. -
Iâve been on both ship classes multiple times. Without a shadow of a doubt, go with Beyond. Celebrity Edge Class ships are stunning and are some of my favorites at sea. Princess Royal Class - not so much. I am not a fan of the minuscule balconies, lack of outward views from lounges, and cramped cabins.
