Review summary

WOW! AWESOME! FANTASTIC!

Just a few words to express what a great time we had on our very first cruise! Princess was the best!

We had a wonderful crew, we met lots of people and made some new friends. The food and service was excellent! There was lots of fun entertainment, shows, shopping and excursion to choose from.

We spent a lot of time at the art auction and saw some beautiful pieces of art. Lots of laughs at the "Egg Drop" event for kids and families.

As I review my pictures from the cruise, I want to go cruise again and again!

We will be back!

Ship tip

Tip: Go to the Lido Deck for breakfast, they have the shortest lines and serve all sorts of snack food throughout the day.

That is offered on the cruise. There is an orientation the 1st day in the Princess Theater. They will tell you about it there and you can get it there. I think it was in conjunction with Diamond International. Its a good orientation to go to and you can win some prizes.

Cozumel is the ultimate shopping mecca! Del Sol had fun color changing bags,t-shirts and accessories . Diamond International had the jewels, though there were others jewelry stores as well. If you are on the cruise - spring for the smart shopper book. It is $25.00 but the discounts it offers are worth the price. My husband and our friends made fun of me because I bought it, but we all ended up using the discounts. I had the last laugh!
