| We whale watch every time we are in the Monterey area. We had great luck on this trip and thoroughly enjoyed it. |

| We recently went whale watching and had a great time. The only issue we had was that they allowed a small family group to bring 3 dogs onboard--2 beagles and 1 bulldog/boxer. Most of their group got seasick so they took the dogs off their leaches and let them roam the deck. And, as you would expect, one of the dogs took a crap right in front of our seats. It was nasty. They should not allow animals onboard. A crew member was very apologetic and did clean up the mess but along with all the people onboard that were struggling with seasickness and then the dog stink it was an unnecessary frustration. People should leave their pets home or in a kennel. |

| Our kids had a great time spotting and take photographs of the whales, which were numerous. My wife and I also had fun, but Dramine would have made the trip more pleasurable. |

| We were excited about the thought of seeing whales in their natural habitat and not in captivity. We were blessed beyond measure as we saw many whales that day and even two whales that swam alongside another whale siting ship that was only about 50 yards from us. It was incredible as the whale lifted its head and seemed to peer into the boat. He followed this will blowing water from his blowhole onto the people on the ship. One could not have planned a better experience. It is an experience that you do not want to miss and we would do it again and again. |

| We took the trip on a bright clear day. We were able to watch 2 Hump back whales..quite a sight to see them. The captain and the marine biologist were able to spot them first and they let us know in advance which direction to look for and then they turn the boat accordingly.We were able to watch the whales four times as they came up for breathing every 5 to 7 mins.
Earlier we thought we spotted a blue whale but couldn't see that again.
We also saw many sea lions , sea otters and tons of jelly fish.
Worth it ...except that we all got little sea sick and tired. |

| My girlfriend and I had a great time on the Princess Monterey. The staff was great and accomodating. We left on time and went about 14 miles out on the bay. If was heavily overcast and cold out on the open water. We went at the end of November. We saw 3 Humbacks and we got some good pictures. Weather could have been better but no one has control over that. The boat had bathrooms and light snacks for purchase. I suggest bringing something to drink or snack on as our trip was 3.5 hours long. |
