Review summary

First time on Princess. It was a pleasant surprise all around. Embarkation was easier than any other cruiseline. The food, entertainment, service, was first class.

Wish there were more activities on sea days. The guest naturalist was so enjoyable in her five talks. Would definitely consider sailing on Princess again.

it was neat and clean, room steward very accommodating. Bathroom was reasonable size. The obstructed view wasn't all that bad. You could see through the support bars outside of the window.

Her Facebook page is "Naturalist Gloeta & suggestive science" to which I subscribe. No last name I know of. She was the best speaker and everyone enjoyed each of her programs.

Do you happen to remember the name of the naturalist? We were on the same cruise and my daughter is doing a film about it for a contest but we can't remember her name. Thank you.
