The best dining experience:

On our first alaskan cruise we were seated at a large table with couples of various ages and backgrounds. We all shared stories of our daily shore excursions. One of the getlemen said that he was looking forward to a salmon fishing trip planned for the next day.

The next evening as we were seated he said that he had a successful trip and caught a large one. Usually a fish that was caught had to be frozen and shipped home as there was no way to keep it onboard the ship.

However the ship's first officier had been along on his trip, and allowed him to bring it aboard - and had the chef prepare it for our table to share.

It was brought out on a platter, beautifuly presented, and served to all as the best apetizer we had ever enjoyed. We hardly had room for our entres.

Note that you are UK based Freddyboy, well our experience with a May 2014 cruise has been 100% positive.

We booked early, last May, because DW needs an accessible cabin and as a result paid a high price. However I noticed 2 price drops in newspaper ads, one in Nov 13 and another this Jan, Princess via my TA honoured both and we have ended up with a 40% reduction on the original price, for 3 cabins including 3 children.

Needless to say we will be checking out their 2015 UK sailings as soon as they are announced.
