Enjoyed it. Enjoyed the San Francisco port for departure, return. Enjoyed the sea days for relaxation and to enjoy some of the on-board activities. Saw great ports and country. Will consider this or similar cruise with Princess again for sure.

Ship Quality

enjoyed the ship, facilities and design. all areas seemed well maintained
love San Francisco but did not do any land excursions here. we live in area and come to San Francisco often. Love that we could board the ship / return in San Francisco...very convenient for us!
love Puerto Vallarta. Have a home in Nuevo Vallarta so we come to area often. Took a Princess land tour and was very disappointed the second stop was to a high end jewelry store and everyone was "forced" to stay there for 30 minutes with no where else to go, waiting for the bus to come back and pick us up. Most of our group stood around 20+ minutes outside the store waiting. Only allowed 5 minutes at Lady Guadalupe cathedral and only 10 minutes at the Malacon!! Did not see Casa Kimberly as shown on the promo material. Very disappointed so little time was allowed for the real city highlights and wasted 30 minutes at a silver shop that I had no interest in.
We did this cruise in November. Had a great time, but did get a little antsy with so many sea days. We live in San Jose, so leaving out of SF was great. We loved the ship, and thought it was really nice. Iām hoping to do the ten day Mexico cruise next!
