Review summary

Disembark wither Hop on Hop off with luggage checked thru to airport worked great. Check how long and what time you get into and leave ports. Don’t be disappointed when half you on shore excursion is in the dark.

Food and Dining

Food in dinning room was very good. The buffet was average and the lack of seating ruined the experience.

My 7 year old granddaughter loved it. My 15 year old grandson loved it. My 13 year old grandson not so much but I think it was more his reluctance to engage rather than the program. Overall a positive. Service was great

You will have paperwork on day 1 or 2 of the cruise. Make sure you submit it right away as they have to contact airlines to arrange it. This helped us a ton as I know our luggage was over 50 pounds and we didn't have to pay extra fees, only the normal airline cost

You will receive paperwork about the middle or end of the cruise to sign up for it. Sorry, I forgot to mention that earlier. 😎

The luggage check through to the airport was available on our last Princess cruise for disembarking. Don’t think they have it before the cruise. We plan to use it on the next cruise. Our next cruise is on the Ruby. 😎

How can I find out in advance if the luggage checked thru will be available when I cruise?
