| The trip we went on was on October 25, 2009 and because the seas were so rough, some passengers got seasick. I know that seasickness doesn't happen to all but a warning should be posted BEFORE boarding that the seas are rough so that patrons can decide whether to go or not. I think that the captains of the boats know when the seas are rough (I would hope the captains hired are experienced enough to know the sea) and should think of the passengers' well being before setting sail. By the way, we saw one whale at the tail end of the trip (3 hours of agony) and it was so far away because of the sea swells, that I can't really call the experience "whale watching." Think before you reserve your seat(s) on this one! |

| We had a great time. Didn't see any whales, but saw many dolphins. The boat ride itself was very enjoyable. The weather was cool, recommend hat or bini. |

| So far I have seen whales on all 3 whale watching excursions I have been on out of Monterey. I know it is not guaranteed, so I guess I am lucky to have experienced a whale sighting every time. It's such an interesting and fun experience, I highly recommend everyone try it at least once. |

| We had a Cinderella wedding, and when we found the 'Princess', we just had to go out on it. The experience was breathtaking. The tour guide was fabulous and quite energetic. She was VERY imformative and cued us when a 'tail' was about to appear for the pictures. We will definitely do this again. |

| 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! |

| I was very impressed with the enthusiasm of our guide who kept the entire group very engaged. To see the Humpbacks as close as we did, exceeded my expectations!! |

| Everyone in the group really enjoyed the time spent out on the water. The captain was very knowledgable, took us where the whales (2 of teh humpbacks) were playing. He followed close enough each time they went under. |

| This was a great trip, good value for money, and alot of fun. We saw quite a few whales and alot of dolphins. The crew were friendly and helpful. A couple of things to bear in mind ; It was very cold even though it was unbelievably warm on the shore) so dress warm, and although we turned up half an hour in advance, there really was no need for that, and we ended up literally just standing there waiting. I think 15 mins early would be more reasonable. |

Enjoed the trip.

| Just the right length (3 hours) to see the whales and the dolphins. Well organized, enough information during the trip to better understand what we were looking at. |

| I was a little skepticle at first since I've only been on a motor boat. However, shortly after the cruise started I realized it was going to be fine. I couldn't believe how many dolphins we saw. It was awsome. The whales were amazing. I think I was a little more surprised at what I saw than my husband because he was in the navy and had seen many dolphins and whales before. Even he admitted though, that he would go on the cruise again. We had a great time. The people who run this cruise line do a great job. Our "guide" was very knowledgable. We highly recommend this to everyone. |
