Somewhat disappointed

| The whale watching trip was a little less than expected, but exciting. I tried to remain positive with the brief sightings of whale body parts darting below the surface, but it was just disappointing, and somewhat boring with their distance so far away. If you blinked your eyes at the wrong time, you missed it. Too few sightings for the time spent. We were treated nicely by the crew. | ||||||

Wonderful, but not for everyone...

| Out of our group of 5 adults and one teen, I was the only one who had trouble with seasickness. Since I knew I was at risk from past experience I came prepared with Bonine and a Relief Band, but still felt quite green for much of the time. If you do not have trouble with such things, then this is a great trip. We saw a number of whales and the naturalist guide was helpful, but I would definitely recommend ONLY to those who do not experience motion sickness!! | ||||||

| We saw Humpback whales. It was a beautiful day in Monterey. I didn't move about the boat because I was seasick - so just sat at the back while my kids enjoyed the trip. | ||||||

Great trip!

| We were thrilled with the trip. I would STRONGLY advise everyone to take some sort of sea sick preventative. I know for myself I need it so I always wear patches. We were told that our day out was very smooth & if that was so then I would have had a hard time even with a patch. Everyone working the trip was most helpful & showed true concern for our time. The marine biologist was so entertaining & educational. Thanks for a great time! | ||||||

Dolphins but no whales.

| It turned out to be a rather windy and cold day (4 to 5 foot swells) for late March. The weather was clear for this 12 o'clock trip. If one lives outside of Monterey, one has to make a commitment some days in advance, not knowing the weather conditions. I found it hard to stand up and take decent pictures because of the rocking boat, although some people seemed to be more successful. Good thing I took Dramamine beforehand! We saw a tremendous number of dolphins but no whale. The captain indicated that he saw one or two whale water spouts, but I believe that was wishful thinking. Maybe some day I will try this again under calmer conditions. | ||||||

Okay - not the best

| We went on the "Pacific" boat which is 75 ft - several people became nauseated & threw-up; so, take travel sickness medication. Also, it was whale migrating season, yet we saw no whales when it was touted as one of the best times to view the whales of Monterey Bay. We did see lots of dolphins - investing in a trip like this is at your own risk. You may or may not see any whales. | ||||||

Wild Ride

| The staff and crew were great. We unfortunately did not see any whales but did see a large group of Risso Dolphins. Ocean was ruff with big swells. I took dramamine and did not eat before going out, otherwise I would definately have been sick. many others did get sick, but that's part of deal. | ||||||

A good family excursion

| It was a good experience for me, my husband and our well-socialized dog. The captain and the marine biologist welcomed my dog very much (but of course, your dog should be well-behaved and on leash at all times during the trip). I would recommend this to those who are patient to wait for the whales to surface on the water. This excursion is also for the true wildlife lovers, should understand that whales can be quite elusive but are fun to see once they're there. Sea birds are also fun to watch. | ||||||

| Staff was great, was able to see a few whales and even had some breech right in front of the ship. We would do this again and would recommend to others. | ||||||

Beware of Swells!

| When we stood at the boarding gate, the driver of the Princess Monterey told us that it's a little choppy out there but it's nothing to stop us. When we got into the boat and out into the ocean, there were 40-50 foot swells. It felt like the boat was literally jumping into the air it was so rough and bad. I ended up getting sea sick and had to lay down the entire time. I know for a fact I wasn't the only one that was sick. If that man would have told us that it was going to be THAT bad, I never would have gone, but needless to say, I was stuck on the boat extremely sick for 2 1/2 hours!! The people who DIDN'T get sick got to see a few humpback whales which was good, but it definitely wasn't worth it!!!!!!!!!! I recommend this cruise as long as there isn't swells out in the water!!! | ||||||

| Ordering tickets online was fast and easy. They had our reservation written down when we got there so check-in was quick and easy. We saw several whales and they were very accommodating when the other person in my party got seasick. The whole experience was a pleasant and memorable one. | ||||||

| the trip in general was great. the staff was polite and well educated and the boat was beautiful. starting out was fun and exciting with many oppertunities to see marine mamals. the only problem was not of the staff but my own, sea sickness set in about half way through. but accomidations were still made. all in all the trip was a success. | ||||||
