Review summary

Fun in the Sun for Christmas, my daughters birthday and New Year!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smoothest & Quickest Embarkation we have had!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was excellent as usual for Princess. We particularly enjoy a Pizza at Alfredos!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We generally do not participate in these, but considering it was Hawaii and Christmas we paid more attention than normal, and they all looked well managed and thought out.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The production shows and theatre entertainment was a bit of a let down in comparision to normal, however the resident band and DJ Ata were brilliant and kept us entertained.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
My kids loved them, didnt see them apart from getting food!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Can not fault the staff! Special mention goes to Pavlo, the barman at Good Spirits.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Clean & comfortable. as we only use it for sleeping and getting changed, it is exactly what we need.

Ports of call

San Francisco, California

5 out of 5
First time here, fell in love with San Fran, my whole family did.

Honolulu, Oahu

5 out of 5
two days here, would love to come back and ee more. day 1 spent wandering around Honolulu, went to Hard Rock Cafe (Will always go to one if i can) day 2 spent on Waikiki Beach - I know the most touristy thing to do, but you have to do what you have to do.

Lahaina, Maui

5 out of 5
My daughters turned 12 the day we were here, so an extra special day!

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

4 out of 5
