Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Buffets were terrible. Hot food was always cold. Every morning I asked for a Diet Coke, I was always done or close to being done before I got it. Pastries were dry and chewy. One day it was so hard I hit it on my plate and the people at the next table heard it.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
I would think sea days you could find better activities than paper airplanes, egg drops, giant darts etc.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
I will give a 2 because the comedy show was great

First time we walked onto our room we had twin beds It took 3 calls get it fixed. When he.finally came he asked if we were sure we wanted a queen, he said because most married couples want twin beds. We didn't get the coupons that we were suppose to get, it took 2 calls for that and 2 calls for the robes we were suppose to get

Loved it. Excursions were great except Sausalito, had minimal time there and we were told we best get lunch there because we wouldn't have a chance before alcatraz Spent $35 on 2 sandwiches with stale bread we couldn't even eat and 2 soft drinks The rest of the excursions were great.

San Diego, California

Went to LaJolla, not impressed. Balboa park, had just enough time to use the restroom and hunt the bus down. It wasn't where they said it was going to be.

Ensenada, Mexico

2 out of 5
Rode over an hour to some little village to see the blowhole, not impressed and was constantly hounded by the store owners was awful. We did get some delicious tequila and had great Tacos The only reason I gave 2 stars.

Thank you for your review. So sorry it didn’t meet your expectations. Try Princess Discover to Alaska should you decide to give Princess another try. We had an extremely positive experience.
