Review summary

Golden Princess - beautiful, very well maintained ship, couldn't have asked for a better cruising experience. This was our 7th cruise and first on Princess - we were impressed.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Amazing food - we had Anytime Dining - were seated in a timely manner and thoroughly enjoyed the company of new people at every dinner.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Always had something to do - good range of activities geared for all ages.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Very friendly, always able to point you in the right direction and eager to help with whatever question you had. Very attentive to people with disabilities and helpful with passengers with small children.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Large ship, took a while to find our way around but eveything very conveniently located.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Never saw our steward but our room was always made up!

Ports of call

Lahaina, Maui

3 out of 5

Lahaina Walking Tour wasn't what we expected. Next time we'll rent a car and go off on our own.

Ensenada, Mexico

3 out of 5

We didn't get off the ship - we'd been to Ensendada before and felt our time was better spent on the ship.

Honolulu, Oahu

We did the all day Polynesian Cultural Center - highly recommend this excursion - would love to go back and spend a couple more days there.

Don't Miss: Heard the zip line was great, too.

Hilo, Hawaii

5 out of 5

We took the tour to the volano, coffee plantation and winery. Our tour guide, Nathan, was entertaining and extremely knowledgable of the island and the volcano. Learned a lot about native plants on the way to the volcano and the volcano, itself, was awesome.
