	only for hardcore whale enthusiasts The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise

	This was something that I really wanted to do. Being from the North Pacific Coast I have opportunities to whale watch in my home town in British Columbia. My husband was bored for most of the time as we only saw the whales for a short period of time. I think that the boat should be equipped with sonar so we don't spend more than half the time guessing where they will surface after they have gone down to dive. We spent more time chasing than watching, although the very few minutes we did see them, I was moved by it because for me, a huge whale enthusiast, it was beautiful. I would go again if they updated their equipment and perhaps had a knowlegeable biologist on board. Thank you Caroline
	No Whales.....but that's Nature....Great Trip The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise

	We hopped aboard the Princess the first trip of the day (10 AM). Plenty of room on board to move around and enjoy the scenery. The weather was great. When the boat arrived at the Moss Landing area, there was a report of an Orca so we waited patiently to see it. All the other whale watching boats in the same area communicate to one another if they spot whales so it benefits all of us. The Orca gave us the slip I suppose....but we watched for others. No whales on our trip but great commentary from the docent/naturalist aboard. Learned everything from history of the Monterey Bay and Cannery Row to the habitat and migration of the different whales and birds. Great trip. The Princess offered every one on board a free trip later in the day to try again. Very professional crew and trip. I would definitely recommend them.
	The whales are so absolutely amazing! The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise

	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 !!!!!
	Loved our host The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise

	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.
	One of the highlights of our California trip The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise

	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!

	Great time on the ocean. We saw three whales!!!
	Excellent Trip! The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise

	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!
	It was fun The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise

	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.
	Very pleasant trip. Great crew The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise

	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 The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise

	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.
	Wonderful The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise
	Mon, Aug 20, 07 10:00 AM	djdevoe	Female	30-39	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
	Our group was lead by a wonderful woman who was very informative and very enthusiastic and fun. We had a wonderful time and saw three whales. It was cold and you do need to head the advice to wear layers. It was in the seventies inland and when we got on the water it was much colder. I would definately say to anyone to go, it's worth the trip.
	Awesome staff The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise

	The staff at princess whale watching were phenomenal. Engaging and entertaining, but more than that they were responsive to the needs of my family and the other families on the boat without being asked!(I took a three and a five year old on the boat and one staff member offered to sit with my little boy in the worm cabin, while I took my five year old out on deck.!! I was amazed by their genuine concern and warmth.
	perfect The Princess Monterey Whale Watching Cruise

	It was great we loved every minute of the cruise from the enthusiastic hostess to seeing the hump back whale and her baby We want to bring our whole family back so they can enjoy it as well. Thank-you for the great experience.
