Review summary

the events and the people really made this cruise. the cruise staff was fun, but professional and really great at involving people in all the different activities. Highly recommend the 2 excursions we booked through at Belize city and Roatan. There was plenty to do on board, but areas where you could go to escape the crowd, if you wanted. food and drink were plentiful, tasty and varied. This is our 3rd cruise and 1st Princess cruise, but we loved this one the most

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
main dining room food excellent, buffet varied and good, loved Alfredos pizza. get the drink package. you won't be disappointed, esp as they are now combined with wifi and tips. the specialty deserts at gelatos included with the plus package were amazing

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
lots of fun activities. especially enjoyed the trivia contests, nightly game shows, pools, multiple hot tubs and on deck movies

Entertainment

5 out of 5
first-rate productions, excellent musicians throughout the ship, loved the magician and comedians booked during our week.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
ship officers visible and fun, bar staff attentive, expert and fast. Our room steward was knowledgable, friendly and unobstrusive

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
everything spotless and well maintained. wish there would have been more garbage cans around for us to use

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
comfortable bed, liked that the shower had a built in lip for shaving my legs. balcony was small, but functional for enjoying the outside scenery. the closet and built in shelving really helped to maximize storage space for clothes and suitcases

Ship tip

make sure you show up early to get a tender ticket if you booked an excursion not through the princess excursions. Also you can find all the specialty restaurant menus on a table in the buffet area

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas Did not visit port

only boarded here. stayed overnight in Houston night before, as mardi gras in Galveston and hotels prices quite high

Cozumel, Mexico Did not visit port

wanted to visit this port, but weather did not allow us to port. very sad, as we had a fun excursion planned.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
we did an excursion booked through priceline that included snorkeling the reef, swimming with rays and sharks and tarpon feeding. We had a short stay on Caye Caulker. as this most cruise excursions, the time is never enough, but it helped us realize we'd like to do a vacation to this area to further explore

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
we did an excursion booked through priceline called land and sea of Roatan. This included a bus tour of the island, which included education on cultural history of Roatan. this was followed by a boar tour of west bay area, dolphin sighting and then snorkel of the reef. finished with quiet time on the beach, where there was a restaurant and dock where we could see even more fish. really enjoyed roatan and would love to spend an entire week there, in the future

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
smooth and much faster than we would have expected
