10 Fears & Questions Before Sailing Grand Princess Alaska Cruise (Answered!)

About this episode

The episode addresses common fears and questions about sailing on the Grand Princess Alaska cruise.

In this episode, we share 10 real fears and questions we had before sailing on the Grand Princess with Princess Cruises for our 7-night round-trip Alaska cruise from Vancouver. From wondering if our obstructed Oceanview cabin would have any view at all, to concerns about the ship’s age, plugs in the room, food options, entertainment, and hot tubs, we cover it all. If you’re planning a Grand Princess Alaska cruise, this episode is packed with helpful insights to prepare you before you board. We also discuss the email we received asking if we’d switch sailings for future onboard credit. Was our cruise oversold? Were we still getting a cabin? Plus, we answer common questions about formal nights, lobster, pool temperatures, complimentary food, theater shows, and more.
