Review summary

Cruise was great! Thursday through Monday so only a day off of work. Weather wasn’t cooperating but semi expected in December. Pools were heated, so that was nice. Medallion Class is interesting and I did like the medallion bracelet but the apps were definitely a bit buggy. I had to keep signing in. Also got other people’s drinks on my account about three times.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
We embarked on the side berth at San Pedro (Los Angeles) and we were essentially in a tent. There were some lines but the medallion class sped up the process.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining room was good, Sabatini’s was great, Crown Grill was fine (not the best) and Alfredo’s (complimentary pizza restaurant) was great!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Princess does a good job with onboard activities. There is always something going on somewhere!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Good location up one deck from the main level, deck 7. Could hear the elevators dinging from the room in the morning. Larger balcony, by about 30%

Ship tip

International cafe is a great spot for a snack! Great breakfast sandwiches as well.

Disembarkation

Again at the side berth in LA. From our room to the passport control was 0.7 miles of walking. Not Princess’s fault.

Booked Club Class for a short get away trip. Poor qualty food & Service at both buffet and specialty restaurants. Old furniture in the staterooms. We would not book Princess again. Looking at a better class of cruise line.
