Review summary

Enjoyed this trip very much. Princess did an excellent job of keeping us fed and entertained. This ship is beautiful and well maintained.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was very smooth especially because we were Ocean Ready with our Medallions

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food onboard was generally very tasty. We felt that the lunch buffet was a bit repetitive with the same items every day. We tried the anytime dining for the first time, but missed having the same wait staff. Service was very prompt and the menu offered many choices.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
My wife really enjoyed the morning Zumba classes.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The entertainment was generally very good, however technical problems caused the cancellation of several performances.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was outstanding from all members of the crew.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was very well designed and maintained. Beautiful public areas.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had an aft facing balcony which had all of the standard features. The bed was probably the most comfortable that I have ever had on a cruise. Only issue was on the balcony which was hard to keep clean due to soot from the engines. The room was a bit noisy during cruising speed.Make

Ship tip

Make sure to be Ocean ready with the Medallion.

Ports of call

San Pedro (Los Angeles), California

5 out of 5
Took an excursion to several LA beaches after the cruise to avoid sitting at the airport since we had a late flight.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

4 out of 5
Very nice port. We just walked around and had a nice lunch at a Mexican restaurant.

Mazatlan, Mexico

4 out of 5
We enjoyed shopping add sightseeing. Decided to take a taxi tour which turned out to be a lot of fun. Had a very relaxing massage near the beach.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
This was our favorite port. We took the “Best of Puerto Vallarta” tour which included some Tequila tasting.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Smoothest disembarkation ever!
