This was not the Explorer!
Tue, Apr 21  3:00 PM Squawvalley Female 40-49 Local Other
I Live in Monterey, and wanted to take a 12th grade class out on this boat, this was miss repersented, this was an old fishing boat with it's history on a plaque on its bou. There was NO person giving any history or facts. This was however a Whale watching boat, If i did not know the skipper it would have been a miserable for this group. I was told by the owners to call them direct next time I want to go out. This is Great for me; but you should know not so GREAT for YOU!! Tina Silvestri

The experience was top notch!

The Princess Monterey is a beautiful ship. Clean and the Captain and crew were great! We managed to see several pods of Killer Whales, it was very exciting. The journey out to the viewing area was pleasant and great views of the shoreline. The ship departed on time and returned when promised. The ocean was relatively calm, so it made for a smooth comfortable ride. You will find all the amenities on the ship from a cabin inside, if it is too breezy, to a canteen as well as men's and ladies washrooms. Overall is was a top notch experience and we would definitely do it again!

Great Experience!

We had a warm day with calm seas, and the fantastic experience of seeing 10-20 orcas in a couple pods about 14 miles from the dock. The boat was comfortable, the naturalist knowledgeable and informative, and the scenery beautiful. This is a great, unique Monterey experience and 3 hours is the perfect amount of time.

Waste of Money
Sat, Apr 18  1:30 PM sueferris1 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We took the afternoon cruise - most disappointing. One whale was allegedly spotted by the biologist - we never saw it. The biologist was very unprofessional - off color humor which was out of line in light of the number of younger children on board and silly comments - nothing scientific or informative. To add insult to injury - she thanked us all for helping her spot the whales - this had no truth to it at all. The deck hands were very courteous -but overall - we could not have been more dissatisfied.

Not satisfied, save your money

Don't expect to see too many whales up close. On our trip, the captain did more boating than whale watching. During that last 5 minutes we saw 2 pods of whales but from a distance. Than we were off back to the dock.

My boyfriend and I had a great time on our whale watching adventure with Princess Whale Watching Cruise. It is something we have been wanting to do for a long time. We are so glad we chose Princess and plan to go again. The guide was great. She was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor! I have already recommended the cruise to friends who are planning a a whale watching cruise this weekend with Princess!

Wonderful experience on the Princess!

We really enjoyed our 2.5 hr excursion. The show was amazing! We were fortunate to see the Killer whales and they put on a really wonderful show for us. One was actually along side the boat and could be seen, though about a foot of water. The crew was very friendly, safety conscious and informative. The only thing that I would say to the crew is that maybe the children should stay with their parents. Some of the children were running around on the boat. I personally am handicapped and must use a cane as I have trouble walking without one and maintaining balance. One of these children almost knocked me over at one time. This is not the crews fault as I am sure they can not see everything going on at once. But they may consider having any children under 15 to be with their parents, This excursion made this Monterey Bay trip the most amazing I have ever had yet. We are from the San Francisco Bay area so we do get to visit more often than others. I will remember this the rest of my life should I not get a chance to do it again.

Viewed many playful Orcas
Fri, Apr 17  1:30 PM velmadun Female 70+ Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We were excited to see 2-3 pods of Orcas . Saw male female & Jr Orcas diviing in & out of water, some came very close to the boat & one swam underneath. The staff were excellent keeping a close watch on passengers & providing info re whales & other things of interest.

For a first time Expeirence we had a good time.
Thu, Apr 16  1:30 PM yellowcye Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
We never done this so we didn't know how our bodies were going to react to the boat movement. 1 out of 4 of us got sick but they were very nice about how to handle it. Me, my husband and youngest daughter had a blast. We didn't get any humpbacks but we got about 9-10 Killer Whales/Orca's. We are doing it again in November hoping to see humpbacks! I think the intercom in the enclosed area of the boat needs to be clearer on a windy day, we couldn't hear the narrations from the captain who was funny and energetic, I was a bit sick but he made me smile on what I could hear!

Very intriguing!

Going whale watching is great fun, just make sure you have the right gear. It gets so much colder than you would expect. Jacket, gloves, and even a hat would have been great on this warm April day. I got wet in the front, and started shivering like crazy. However, all those things are tehnically my fault, not the company. Seeing the whales in the wild, was really amazing. The knowledgeable captain was able to follow them and we kept getting really good views of time. Note that it is a looong ride out and back, 3 hours is a long time on a boat if you're not used to it. It's pretty fun to do once in a while...

Fun in spite of weather
Mon, Apr 13  10:00 AM hsteinkamp Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
We really appreciated being on a big boat when the weather was not ideal. Even though nobody (on any boat) saw whales the day we went out, it was a fun time. Having a naturalist on board was informative, though I was glad I didn't have younger kids with me given that some of her commentary was a little off-color. This is my preferred whale watching tour company and boat. Hands down.

disappointed - no whales
Sun, Apr 12  1:30 PM rajivbasu Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
went to see whales, but unfortunately did not see much. We had hoped that the boat crews would have a better sense as to where the whales would be.

Fun Trip, but did not see much marine life
Sun, Apr 12  10:00 AM Browser Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
WE had fun...they all did a great job. We didn't see much marine activity...but they can't control that. One gray whale..from far away....some sealions...birds. So overall, we'll go again when were are in the area.

Whale watching

An experience that was nauseating to say the least. I am glad I did not actually heave, but I was close. My son was also close to being ill. But hey, that is not the tour company's fault. It was nice that they gave a raincheck. I will definitely be asking for a weather check before I go again. Paul May
