missoulaz28 Posted October 30, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 30, 2018 We are looking at doing or first cruise and have our eye set on heading south from Anchorage on the Golden Princess, leaving on July 6th. The price and dates work for us better then the other options we've looked at. How does the ship compare to some of the other options? I've read reviews about leaks/wet spots, is that a Golden issue, or a cruise ship issue. It is a couple hundred dollars pp cheaper, is that because of the condition of the ship? Anything we should know before we book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted October 30, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 30, 2018 The Golden went through a dry dock and experienced some leaking/wet areas after. I heard from somewhere that some of the workers brought on to the ship drilled in some wrong areas or too far. No clue if this is accurate. While all ships can have this at times, the Golden does seem to have more than the average. My sister did sail the ship this summer and barely noticed it. If you are closer to it, you probably notice it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nini Posted October 31, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 31, 2018 We have been on the Golden 3 times and it was our favorite ship until we recently sailed on the Regal. I can not speak to any leak issues. However, we do miss Skywalker's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
