Review summary

Overall it was a good cruise, so anytime when you leave the kids at home, and get a chance to get away and relax it's good. The ship didn't have control of the weather, or the crowding in the ports at Roatan, because they redirected us to Belize City. But next time I might try a different ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Nice and easy, very friendly Princess cruise staff prior to boarding

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food was more plain, not a lot of variety for vegetarians or vegans, staff was not very willing to help with offering selections. Some of the staff was friendly and some should be let go immediately for lack of good service and attention to guests, espeically when they only have one table to take care of.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Used the hot tubs a few times, definitely good be hotter, if not in the family areas, at least in the adults only section.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Most of the main stage performers were good, a great dance show the 2nd night, illusionist and comedian was good, had a great Elton John tribute show, the DJ was horrible, he should get another job that allows him to frown, never smile and not have a personality.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Average at best in the dining rooms, but room staff was friendly and accomodating.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Chose the inside cabin for less expensive option and didn't do much but sleep there, so it was fine for what we needed.

Ship tip

Get to know the map of the ship, it's fairly large, so need to learn how to navigate locations.

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico Did not visit port

Too windy to dock there.

Belize City, Belize

2 out of 5
I would not visit again, at least not on a cruise ship, not very clean, or very much do to in the port. Took an excurscion to Goff's Cay, which was a nice location, but the snorkeling was not very good, very small fish and the coral had been trampled on, so they're not teaching the visitors to respect the sea life.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
It was much cleaner, very nice for tourists, plenty of shops and excursions, lots of private beach clubs with beautiful water. Very relaxing, would do this again.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Not sure how to do this better, so many people trying to leave, elevators were packed so many people took the stairs to leave while carrying suitcases. I have had better disembarkations in the past, but the port was easy, customs agents were nice and fast.
