Review summary

First time on Princess Cruise. I've been on 3 other cruise line and the best one so far is Royal Caribbean. Royal has the best entertainment and food. I like the fact that I can schedule the entertainment ahead of time. You cannot reserve seats but at least I know I can see the show at the time I reserved. Caribbean Princess was okay. Talking to other people on the ship, they were not impressed with the food. And other family said they didn't think there was enough activities for their kids. Excursions were good. I booked all of them ahead of time. The only one I was disappointed in was the Tulum excursion at Cozumel. It was not worth the money.

If you are on a waiting list for your dinner time, don't fret. I was #32 and by the time we were scheduled to leave, I got the time slot I wanted.

And l like the fact I can show up and get a seat without the hassle of making a reservation. Glad there is something for everyone.

Princess does suck for kids, you are right on that one

Bear in mind it’s only Oasis Class Dhops and Quantum Class you can reserve shoes on, not the entire fleet

I forgot to mention that in cabin R749, the water in the shower was WAY too hot. We notified the cabin guy that it was very hot and hard to shower, especially after we got burnt at Costa Maya! He submitted a ticket to get that looked at. Also, one evening the toilet flowed poop back up into our bathroom and it wasn't our doing! That was disgusting but the cabin crew guy cleaned up the mess so well that when we came back, it didn't smell like sewage in our room. Apparently it happened to other people.
