Review summary
Had a great time. Was our first Princess cruise (Carnival, HAL). This ship had more people than previous cruises for us. BUT we never felt crowded. The ship layout combined with scheduling of events nicely flows the crowds. Embarkation was a breeze. Disembarkation was super smooth. We missed turning in our info and were assigned a later time. Went to GS and they gave us a walk off time for earlier. We headed down to gather for our scheduled time. A white suiter saw us and said if we were ready to head on out. From our room the Uber, 15 min. max. Enjoyed the entertainment. Talented crew. We did the bingo. Was the most crowded event we attended so get there early if you feel the need to gamble. Wait staff was a nice mix. There were people from all over the world doing all kinds of jobs. Wasnt' just one country like HAL. Thought the food was above average for a cruise. Breakfast never changed at the buffet. Standard fare. But the anytime dining in the Davinci was excellent. We always ordered a couple extra dishes and deserts and shared them with our party of 6. Loved doing trivia and hanging by the pool watching the jumbo tron or live band by the other pool. Did the all inclusive in Mazatlan. Blah. Not worth the money. Ziplined in PV. Los Veranos. Did the Vallarta Adventures on a previous trip and thought V.A. was better than Veranos. Although Veranos had some birds/iguana/monkeys that you could hold. Loved Princess.... Going again thru the canal!Embarkation
