Review summary

This was a terrific cruise. I can' say enough good things about the service and the food quality in particular. The weather was pretty much perfect and the shore excursion in Puerto Vallarta was excellent too. 

The ship is ten years old but is in great shape and was very clean, modern and elegant. The restaurant choices are varied and of a high quality. I wouldn't recommend the buffet's for anything other than breakfast with the exception of the special nights like Indian food. The specialty restaurants called Crown Grill and Sabatini's are worth the modest up charge for a special evening. In fact the Crown Grill was as good as any land based high end steak restaurant.

The fine Art auctions were fun and most of the shows were very good too. The music in the various clubs was just OK.

The wine bar is fun as is the coffee/pastry shop.

All in all we loved our vacation!

Other than the mattress showing some miles the cabin was very nice. The balcony is a must!

Yes I am glad you enjoyed the cruise. We are on the Crown going to San Francisco in a couple of weeks. This is the first time we have sailed Princess. I have always thought it was the top of the line and I hope it still is for our cruise!

Glad to see your review, I was beginning to despair :-) I found that cruise enjoyment depends on your attitude and your expectation :-)

I have always found the food on Princess to be excellent, especially the Crown Grill. Can't wait for Saturday and my cruise on the Crown.

It seems like people either love the food or hate it. I guess it depends on personal preferences, I'll find out for myself in 31 days. I sailed with Princess in 2004 and the food was fantastic.
