Review summary

we selected this cruise for one sole purpose and that was to relax and rest. that was accomplished. We mostly ate at specialty dining rooms, due to the poor quality and arrogance of the wait staff because we ate (anytime dining) which was not  in the best interest of the dining room. we were directed to unsatisfactory tables and guests. the rts were remote and unattractive and did not offer much, we took no excursions. too expensive and we thought the whole cruise was very expensive and very much a money maker for princess. the ship is old and dated. the theatre seating was too tight with very poor visibility.the public rest rooms were always dirty and not well maintained. language was an issue some of the time. the ship was not willing to take care of an issue we had and there were lots of other complaints among gest of similar situations.  we plan to cruise with an alternate cruise line in the future.

@jessicalauderdale Go Parasailing in Mazatlan. We walked the beach and did it for $30. Forget the preplanned excursions. hit the bars/restaurants do some walking and if you find something you like to do. Do it! Have a blast! That's what we did.

@danonavo, I'm curious to hear about your Mexican riveria cruise. We're cruising this in february😀

I am often amazed when I see such negative comments. We had the opposite experience. We have cruised with several different cruise lines. All were good, but we like Princess the best. Sooo, we just scheduled our 5th trip with Princess. We find that most fellow passengers are happy and content. When someone has that many complaints, I would guess that not much would satisfy them. We prefer to cruise with the "happy campers"!!😀
