Review summary

As part as making reservations with Armed Forces Travel, we were told that we would receive $25 onboard credit per room. The other members of our group received theirs, but we did not. Princess told us we needed to contact Armed Forces Travel. Upon returning, I did so and was placed on hold as the AFT representative contacted Princess. After almost two hours on the phone, was told they need to research this further and would get back to me in 24-48 hours. It's been over a week and have not heard anything.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Went smoothly. Even though boarding time was pre-selected, these times were not honored. Despite this, process went smoothly. Travelers need to be aware that there is no on-site parkin at San Diego pier. Arrangements should be made well in advance with one of off-site providers.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was very good - wide selection both in dining rooms and buffet. A few times - probably because of how many people they were serving - plates were not quite as warm as should have been. Service was excellent. Travelers need to be aware to select dining times early in the registration process.
