| I could not believe my eyes when watching the mother and calf "killer" whales swiming beside the boat. But I was really quite amazed at the hump back whales. HUGE and just as beautiful.
Our tour was October 18 on the 10:00 cruise. I came home telling my neighbors and coworkers about this exciting event. I recommended that they go and see these wonderful mammals in their natural habitat.
Unfortunately, my batteries died when I was trying to film/take pictures that day. Would you or your staff have a few pics to share? Thank you again |

Great time

| My friend and I had a great time. This was my first time whale watching and was happy to see Humpback and Orka - two mothers with calfs. I want to come back after December when the Princess Monterey is ready.
Thank you for a great trip. |

| The trip was just amazing, within just a short time period the crew where able to locate whales, killer whales and dolphins. It was very exciting and memoriable.
Make sure to bring your cameras, batteries, film, and a jacket.
The only thing that I didn't expect was that I made reservation to ride on the princess and upon arrival noticed that the explore was on the dock instead, but it didn't really matter it was still a very enjoyable experience. |

| I would reccomend the Princess whale watching trip to anyone!! We had such a wonderful time & it definately exceeded our expectations! I was a little nervous about going because I tend to get sick on planes, boats, etc.... but not on this trip! I felt great & we saw way more sea life than we expected! Humpbacks, dolphins & even killer whales (orcas), not to mention a lots more sea life! The boat was very clean & the staff was very friendly & knowledgeable. It was even better than we expected it to be, and right when we got back we wanted to go again! The pictures we took turned out great, but nothing's like being out on the water with those incredible creatures! Everyone should try it! You won't be dissapointed! |

| Although there were no guarantees that we would see whales they made every effort to do so via communication with other whale watching boats in the area. We appreciated the cooperation and were excited to see killer whales, humpbacks and dolphins on our trip! The crew was on top of things and kept us informed at all times. |

| Twenty minutes after we left the harbour we saw a female whale and her calf. It was excellent. We watched the two whales for about two hours and after about an hour and a half we were kind of bored with it. But we understood that its not always that easy to find the whales and the length of the trip is to ensure that you do see something. Maybe if the skipper asked the people on board the vessel after a certain length of watching the whales whether they wanted to go in shore and took a vote. But it was excellent I can't complain. The boat was super clean and the young man on deck was available all the time to answer any questions we might have had. well worth the money. So wonderful to see these animals in their natural environment. |

| We did the 10am cruise on Wednesday, October 15. The crew of the boat said that we had one of the best viewing days of the season. It was absolutely amazing. Two humpback whales circled our boat and other nearby for almost an hour putting on quite a show. At one point, I was probably only about 10 feet from one of the whales! The crew was great and despite a history of such, I had no problem at all with sea sickness. |

| I am a single female that always comes to Carmel/Monterey every year for vacation. I'm was thrilled that Princess Cruises allowed dogs on their whale watching tours. This is my 2nd time with Princess and I highly recommend it. The boat is clean - the tour guides very informative and helpful. My Shih-Tzu wore her lime-green lifejacket and thoroughly enjoyed the ride. She fell sound asleep on her way back to the hotel! It truly relaxed us BOTH. Highly recommend!! |
