| We loved our cruise with The Princess Monterey. There were 16 of us, they made it very easy to be a large group. They nearly guaranteed whales and we weren't disappointed...we saw humpbacks and orcas. I highly recommend this as a family outing. |

| Not much to say ... 31/2 hr. cruise with just ONE whale sighting ..... and that too the whale was over half a mile away from the boat!!!! The 'Captain' banks on the tourists to spot the whales ... no equipment to detect their presence in this world of hi-tech !!! DO NOT WASTE UR MONEY or TIME !!!!! |

| Our host was so energetic, she made the trip worthwhile. My husband and I went on the trip without our 4 year old daughters. However, we will definitly go back with our kids. They would have loved it. |

| My wife and I and our daughter and her husband went on the whale watch. We only saw one (1) whale, a humpback during the trip. That was pretty exciting, watching the whale surface and then diving while waving his tail at us. The maring biologist who "narrated" was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I would recommend the Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise to anyone! |

| My 10 year old son and I very much enjoyed our whale watching cruise. We saw a total of 5 humpback whales, portpoises, sea otters and many species of birds. The staff, especially Katherine the marine biologist who narrated the tour, were very friendly and knowledgable. The boat was comfortable and provided plenty of room for people to move about and sit inside where its covered if desired. I would not recommend this tour for children much younger than 10 as there is a lot of waiting involved while you are cruising the ocean looking for whales. I saw a few children around 5 or so that were very unhappy. Also I would consider taking a preventive dose of dramamine prior to the trip as a precaution as the seas were fairly rough and several people were not feeling well. My son and I took the dramamine prior and had no problems.I highly recommend this tour! |

| I've been whale watching out of Provincetown MA. On that trip the whales were within yards of the boat I was on./ The trip out of Monterey was a little dissappointing because we couldn't get closer to the whales, though I do understand the reason. I am glad that we rented the binoculars because with them my son had a similar experience to mine in Provincetown; it was as if the whales were right next to the boat. The female guide knew a lot of interesting facts that held our interest while we were on the lookout for whales. |

| Probably the nicest boat & crew in Monterey. The onboard marine biologist gives commentary throughout the trip & the crew will answer any questions you have. This particular day was very foggy & made it difficult to spot & see the whales. This is not the fault of the boat or crew. It is a very common occurrence in this area, so be prepared for it. We still saw whales and had a great experience! |

Probably would have liked it

| I purchased my tickets a couple of days in advance for the 4:30pm trip. Apparently this trip gets cancelled frequently because of "weather" or beacuse less people book it. I showed up (it was a 2 hour drive) and it wasn't cancelled. I never got a call nor was I warned when I booked it or I probably would have booked a different time. I would have appreciated some friendliness or consideration in this matter. They didn't seem to care. |
