An Awesome Alaskan Summer Cruise on the Marvelous Majestic Princess!
Lisa Ellen Niver
I absolutely loved being back onboard Princess Cruises!
I sailed on Majestic Princess from Seattle on August 29, 2021 to Alaska including Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and Glacier Bay. I had a balcony on this Medallion class ship with room enough to hula-hoop in my room. I loved the pools, hot tubs, sports court, the many restaurants and all the activities on board like fruit carving and ice carving. I walked around the deck and watched movies under the stars.
Welcome to the Majestic Princess Alaska Summer 2021

Where to EAT? on the Majestic Princess
I absolutely loved being back onboard Princess Cruises for Alaska Summer 2021 #WeAreBack!
I loved my dinner at Crown Grill with Tina, Loyalty Ambassador. Thank you to Jelena and Ionut the only Texan Romanian I have ever met!
The other specialty restaurants on this ship are Harmony which is gorgeous and I heard the food is excellent and La Mer, which is French and I heard delicious. There are noodles and burgers by the pool and many places to eat around the ship.
Enjoy my videos of the locations! I LOVED the VIP Concierge team on deck 14. Thank you to Darko, Matthew and Rosendo. I appreciated their attention every day! They asked about my cruise experience and were ready to assist in all things CRUISE!
Thank you to the team in World Marketplace/horizon court. I particularly loved Edi from Indonesia and Jason who helped me with breakfast, Rajesh brought me excellent drinks and Alex helped me with my salads with no lettuce! Thank you to Manoj for the parmesan cheese! Jorge Antonio from Honduras on desserts was great!
The person with the best and friendliest personality on the whole team is Pranitha from Kerala India. She always remembered me, said hello and asked about my experience on the ship! THANK YOU!
Thank you to Captain Tony Draper and the entire crew onboard for an incredible week in Alaska on the Majestic Princess! Enjoy my videos of each of the ports and my two nights at Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle before joining my Alaska sailing on Majestic Princess Summer 2021 https://bit.ly/AlaskaCruise21
