Review summary

I was very disappointed on purchasing the princess cruises Savvy Traveler 2018 Edition from a seminar thing I went to. It sounded good for $25 but then when I tried to find the stores to get the free products they were not there. First stop Diamonds International didn't have the necklace I was promised and was told to go to Cabo port to get it. That port gave a necklace that was different and very cheap like dollars store quality. Not impressed. I asked locals about the shops I was to go to to get things and they said they never heard of them. Was supposed to get a free tote from Del o sol could never find that either. Not happy.

Food was great but I never did find chocolate journeys. Were they chocolates or just desserts?

Ship tip

Plan your day as many things happen at the same time and you can't be everywhere at the same time.

Snorkelling excursion was nice but the ocean was too cold, water was murky not a great selection of fish to see but the staff on the boat were great.

I forgot that I also purchased it also, it is intended for kids, unless you know of someone to give it to to, did find all the stores to pick up the charms though, enjoy your time sightseeing rather than the scavenger hunt
