Review summary

Bad weather took us back to shore instead of Catalina Island so first portion of cruise was from LA to San Diego.  (Many cruisers had driven from San Diego to La to cruise so lots of irate people!)  Deal with it!  Why risk safety!  Princess made the right decision to forego Catalina because of rough waters.

 

Ensenada was beautiful - did the Bufadora tour and saw great bursts from the blow hole.  As always, Princess runs like a well oiled machine with great services and great staff.

Three women shared this fairly small cabin with no problem - two twin beds with a bunk bed overhead on one that opened at night.

On a recent cruise on the Regal, we missed two out of four ports (tender ports) due to bad weather. Yes, we were disappointed; but we were safe! Thank you, Princess.

Yes safety 1st. Did you receive any compensation...just curious!

Thank you for posting your review.  It's nice when a bump in the road doesn't ruin an entire vacation.
