Review summary

I really enjoyed this fun and relaxing cruise with my son and his wife. We did a lot of spa services this time; more than we have done in the past. I enjoyed the food & service, movies, trivia, and line dancing class. I will sail Princess again.

Embarkation

The embarkation was efficient and very fast. All the details were handled before we arrived!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining room was great with many upscale choices. The desserts were fantastic! Main dining service was spot on. The Crown Grille could use some improvements on the wait time to get your main dish and the steaks need to be seasoned better. Service was excellent in the Crown Grille. The World Marketplace Buffet was crowded and not as organized as you would hope for. I did not really care for this venue. Breakfast, lunch, & afternoon tea were all enjoyable and delicious in the main dining room. The English High Tea scones with cream were amazing! Room service was very well done.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
2 Spa Massages, The Enclave, Trivia, Buble Concert, Hanging Poolside were all great. This ship is great for relaxing and the adults only pool was very nice. Watched Top Gun Maverick on the Pool "Jumbo Tron" & it was great!

Cabin was a good size, premium linens and comforter, and was spotlessly clean! Great job to Pavon, my cabin steward! Loved the layout of my room.

No excursion. We went to Soloman's Landing for lunch. EXCELLENT fish tacos and mango margaritas with top notch service and great atmosphere near the ship!! Too many street vendors bothering you.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

No excursion. Too many street vendors bothering you. This port was not as clean as Cabo.
