Review summary

We loved this cruise! Our only problem was that it was too short. After this cruise, we vowed to only go on 10+ days cruises.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

We booked our hotel with Princess and was part of a large group going together by bus. Embarkation was late due to the ship arriving late, so they sent us on a free excursion to Kehmah, which was much more fun than just waiting at the dock!

We actually did this port last instead of first as scheduled, due to the lateness of the ship's departure. I was very impressed that they didn't just skip a port, but made it so we could still go. We loved Tulum!
