Review summary
My son and I took this wonderfully relaxing trip up the west coast of South America, Central America and Mexico because we liked the thought of 10 days at sea and 7 ports. It was all we expected and more. We had the best Cabin Steward I've had in almost 40 cruises. Getting around the ship was a quick to learn experience. We bought a ring - for me - at Facets - and a watch - for him - as special reminders of this "ideal" trip. No grouchy people on this ship except a few of the "senior oriental passengers". Hey, that was THEIR problem!!! I'm a "senior of 78" and just went right on enjoying!!!... We do have a conversation going with Princess about some excess casino charges, but it's being taken care of I hope. The casino is not run by Princess but franchised and we felt it important to let Princess know there might be a problem in that regard. We would go on that trip again, loving the ports, making a few friends in those ports. After 17 days on board, we cannot picture going back to a "measly" 7 day cruise! LOL
