Review summary

It couldn’t have been more perfect! I highly recommend princess cruises and especially these ports of call. Do all the excursions you can & don’t get the drink package unless you can seriously drink 15 alcoholic bevs in a day!!!

The food service staff in every buffet & fine dining was over the top amazing!! The ice cream shop staff were less than informative or helpful. Everyone else was great though!!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Despite the rumors & crap I’ve read from other cruisers… our experience could not have been more perfect if we hand wrote the script!!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was fairly small, but it was nice, clean & cozy. We had zero complaints (except needing extra power strip & cords! - people are not lying when they say yo bring those!!) Our room service was phenomenal!! We never wanted for anything - the entire cruise!! Our room steward was truly excellent!!!

Ship tip

Search out a “frequent” cruiser for the best tips & tricks!

The very best port excursion!! Loved our “Chad” - host to Roatan & excursion. We went to turquoise bay at the private island resort. Loved all of it. The beach was great! Food was fantastic & strong pours!!

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
Belize was our least favorite. Locals were aggressive. The beaches were so bad that they told us to not go?! We ended up paying to go to a private resort. It was fantastic and a man made beach. We had a lot of fun, but our excursion driver made an unscheduled stopped & that was SCARY!!! We were afraid we might miss the ship. Someone asked about Rum & so he stopped at the Rum Factory. Not happy about that, but overall a good day & fun experience.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
