Review summary

Shopping and Beach was HORRIBLE. Beach concession was$3.50 for bottle of water. Our old van was dirty and had a number of insects that attacked us, and driver was constantly attempting to catch them by hand as he drove Princess cruise director needs to go to the beach and observe what 6,000 people look like in at a 1,200 Ft beachfront looks like. Poor timing due to several other cruises also pilling on to this tiny beach

Princess issue. The Shopping and Beach was not good. The ONLY concession was OVER-CHARGING on water, beverages.
