Review summary

We enjoyed the cruise very much and it was nice to travel on a new ship. We had trouble with the medallions and the onboard wifi but after a day found the right place to help us. The casino allows smoking so many people were in there smoking even when not gambling. This caused the room to be extremely smoky and there is a beautiful smoking lounge directly across the casino for their use but overall, a good selection of machines. The cocktails were fabulous and the bartenders were amazing.

By the time we left most servers knew our names. Our room steward, Roberto, was fantastic and always helpful.

Ship Quality

Everything was fabulous.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Perfect, although a small step stool would be awesome, to see the top shelf in the closet. A note to store luggage under the bed might have helped in the beginning.

Ship tip

Please remove smoking in the casino. The casino is directly next to the smoking lounge so it is convenient for the smokers to go in there. Many passengers not gambling were smoking in the casino.

Ports of call

San Pedro (Los Angeles), California Did not visit port

We left out of the port but we didn’t visit the port.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

5 out of 5
Took the excursion to Todos Santos. Upon our arrival we were lectured on the history of the school but we were ready to eat and drink something first. We were a little disappointed that we didn’t get to explore the town on our own for more than 30 minutes. We would of liked to have spent more time at Hotel California and its history.

Mazatlan, Mexico

5 out of 5
We ventured out on our own in a taxi and did a little exploring. Enjoyed the plaza at the port very much.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
We took a taxi to Old Town. We have friends that live there and visited with them for lunch. Did a little shopping back at port.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
We let Princess Cruises know we were flying out of Long Beach Airport, along with many passengers, in advance. But when informed of disembarking procedures, we learned only LAX was available for transportation. There was a lot of passengers flying out of Long Beach Airport. We were informed we were on our own for transportation to the airport.
