Review summary

This was our first cruise and we're so happy that is was a very pleasant experience!! We were a bit skeptical at first due to Princess being known to cater to a much older crowd, but we fully enjoyed everything, including the music and entertainment options. The ship is lovely, the food was perfect overall, and we can't wait to cruise with Princess again!! (Sorry, the app would not allow me to delete the duplicate Belize pics)

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We were out of the hotel shuttle and on the ship within 20 mins!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
My husband and I ate at the salty dog, Slice, Island dining room, and the buffet. I was not happy about my tacos from the salty dog because the taco shells seemed stale, but everything else was absolutely amazing!! The variety of food and desserts in the buffet was outstanding!!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We took advantage of the adults only pool and the ping pong tables. Other than that, we really just enjoyed being free of children and relaxed a ton!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We loved the Voice of the Ocean auditions and the finale was awesome! We also enjoyed the Movie under the Stars, the DJ & Caribbean Princess band performances throughout the week, and the comedy show had us cracking up!

Our cabin was very clean and the bed was comfortable.

Ship tip

Breakfast and lunch at Planks and Steamers is included! You only have the surcharge for dinner. We didn't find that out until the last day.

Ports of call

Belize City, Belize

Did a 2-hour city tour, then walked around downtown for a short while. Not much to do here.

Ride horses on the beach which was very calm and peaceful. Also shopped a little.

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Disembarkation was a tad unorganized as we were part of the first walk-off group. Overall it took about 45mins.
