Yeah Princess has really slipped in my book and we even went through their online booking agent to try and get the best experience.Our Princess agent was alright but we could have gotten more perks through an independent or even Cruiseweb which we have used before. Corporate kept sending us lots of standard issue offers but nothing worth while and even the 50% off for upgrading to Princess Plus package was $60/day still. That only pans out if you drink quite a bit (we sat next to one middle aged couple that downed 3 margarita apiece while chomping on pizza for lunch 😕) and use their internet package at $240. We bought a 30 day ungrade on our phone for $100 but the rest of the package has very little value unless you use it heavily, and we did use the spa/exercise room, bought some overpriced roses at died off on day 4, several specialty dinners, etc..

The food was good in the regular dining rooms ( and the buffet, it's mostly the same) but the staffing was not as good in the past, ( mostly due to un assigned seating, you had a different server every night and so no relationship) it was hard to get an attendant out on the deck or around the pools , I think they're going the way of fast food and using app based systems which save them a lot of money in staffing but leave other customers wanting. We got sucked into a $50 a person upgrade to our room which wasn't much money but didn't add anything to our experience and in the past that kind of offer would be for return cruise customers anyways, which we are. The Entertainment and activities was only so -so. The Crown Princess is getting dated.

This was our anniversary cruise and I put it in the profile but little came of it. In the end I'm glad we booked next years Alaska trip on a competitor with a small family group and I hope it goes better.

Small and tight rv park , not 5 stars but not a dump either. Very close to the freeway, and a aggregate plant but the city of Seattle and Snoqualmie Falls/North Bend of Twin Peaks fame. The freeway noise is consistent and not overly loud, more like the ocean surf breaking on the beach (white noise) The bath/showers are clean and usable, not much grass but a small children's park and a dog walk across the road. We were only there 2 days and there are some long term locals in there but there were plenty of 6 figure rigs in there so it can't be too bad, full hookups but yeah the electricity is a little funky, probably not too good for modern electronics, use a high capacity surge protector 👍
