	My wife and I rated this as one of the high points of trip, which included yosemite, lake tahoe and san francisco. The boat was large, stable and well maintained. The captain and crew were professional, polite and helpful. The narrator gave us information on the whales, dolfins,seals, and the monterey bay estuary. On our tour we saw sea lions, otters in the harbor, dolfins and humpback whale. For comparison, I have lived on the gulf coast of florida for 51 years and have seen many sights on the water. This trip is in my top 1%.

	West Coast Whale Watch leaves much to be desired The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise

	As residents of CT we have vacationed in Provincetown on Cape Cod, Massachusetts for over thirty years. We Whale Watch every year in Cape Cod on the Dolphin Fleet out of Provincetown. The whales feed during the summer months at Stellwagon Bank. it is nothing to see forty, fifty, or more whales, in edition to dolphins on the East Coast Whale Watches. Our Captain keeps his distance so as not to disturb them but there are so many, we have had them come over, right along side the boat and going under the bow like you could touch them. They are named by the design on their flukes and many years we see the same ones. It is a fantastic Whale Watch. We thought the West Coast one would be the same but it was most disappointing, seeing only six whales and not really seeing them, as they were so far away. Just their water spouts were noticable in the distance. Seeing so few it didn't seem like there is a feeding area off of Monterey , like the East Coast's Stellwagon Bank. The boat ride was good, and the crew were very nice and informative but my husband, son and I will never go on a West Coast Whale Watch again. Cape Cod is the place to see whales and it is worth a flight out here. Joan & Bob Mazurek
	Highly Recommend The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise

	Highly recommend this tour. Have been on several other whale watching excursions in Southern California, and this one was far superior. Very knowledgeable crew and naturalist. Lots of information on the sea life in Monterey Bay along with some local history as you pass by different shore areas. Very nice boat with lots of seating, very large windows. The only drawback was that if you were inside the cabin you could not hear the naturalist as she fed you tons of information. She could only be heard while on the benches or rails outside the cabin. This was a very minor detail and did not detract from the experience in any way.
	Sometimes nobody is home! The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise

	It's just the luck of the draw, but we didn't see any whales until nearly the 2-hour mark, more than half way across Monterey Bay. Then, those we found were quite far away. Two other boats were much closer. We ran parallel to the whales but did not seem to attempt to get any closer. It was all rather frustrating, since I had 2 out-of-town friends with me & had hoped to show them something spectacular. Too bad we didn't get lucky! The crew was very pleasant, and the day was gorgeous. That helped a little, but I'm not sure the trip was worth almost a hundred dollars.
	Over due whale watching trip! The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise

	This was my first whale watching trip and I was educated as well as delighted when I saw two humpback whales spray from their spouts right in front of my eyes! Not at all the same as watching it on film. The guide was full of information and very excited to share with us. I will take this trip again! I have told many friends already! Thank you!

	the trip was great fun for our group. the waters were a little ruff, so that did result in a little motion sickness for some. when they recommend taking something to prevent motion sickness, please listen and do it the trip would have been much more enjoyable. the ship and the crew were great and the naturalist was very knowledgeable and fun.
	Great experience, can't wait to do it again. The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise

	The crew were a lot of fun, the information is a learning experience, the day was calm and warm. We were able to see dolphins, a mother whale and her baby. Later on we saw another whale. The only thing we did not see were the whales jumping and waving their tales, that was disappointing but that the brakes. We were able to see two blue fin sharks and a lot of jellie fish floating by. To be out in the ocean and just know that you are bonding with mother nature is a great experience. The only problem I had was a worker dropped a floor mat behind me on the wharf, I turned around to walk away and tripped over the mat and fell on my knee and shoulder, which is still giving me trouble today. This was a very careless act on his part and could cause the business trouble.
	This is great The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise

	Well worth it The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise

	Great boat. Easy to see from. Well-maintained and clean. Excellent, enthusiastic guide. I didn't feel like I was being rushed. The crew was doing their best to give us what we paid for, and we got it. Would like to see more current online info regarding recent sightings, and which time(s) of the year make for the best experience.
	A truely fine day The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise

	We took the 10am trip in an effort to have calm waters. The weather was perfect -- clear water, flat calm, no wind, and sunny without being overly hot. We saw one humpback whale and a pod of dolphins & porpose that must have numbered near 1000. They were leaping and splashing all around the boat and must have covered acres. They stayed with us for over an hour and stole the show as far as I was concerned. Even Charlie-dog was fascinated by their play. Good weather & sightings like this are a matter of luck of course, but the crew seemed to have the experience to enhance what was available. We were out for the full 3 hours but the time flew by. We would happily pay to do it again and have been passing the recommendation to friends & co-workers.

	I would highly recommended this trip. It's a great 2 hour cruise. My wife & I really enjoyed this trip and what it had to offer. The crew did their best to give us what we paid for and we did see 2 nice gray's just before returning to shore.
	OK but with one hitch The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise

	I booked with Monterey WW because they advertise a 110 foot (Princess) boat and my wife and I get seasick on small vessels. When we presented our tickets we were boarded on the 70 foot (Magnum Force) boat and told the Princess only runs the morning watches. If I had known this I would have booked an early departure time!
