Review summary

We booked the cruise because of the itinerary. We do not and did not like the large ship. We prefer smaller ships +/- 1000. Princess overcharges for excursions and nickel and dimes you to death with incidentals. We will never book a Princess - or any Carnival owned cruise - again.

It’s almost always better to book excursions independently from the ship. They are usually cheaper, less crowded and last longer.
