We have cruised with Carnival for 20 years and this first cruise with Princess puts them to shame. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute and did not want it to end.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We did anytime dining in Michael Angelo's dining room every night and they were the best, the food was excellent the wait staff was spot on. Treated us like royalty. For breakfast and lunch the Horizon buffet was great also, plenty of great food and plenty of wait staff to help with anything we needed.

Ship Quality
5 out of 5
It was our first cruise with Princess, so it took us a few days to get the layout down but after that it was well thought out and very clean.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Ricardo was our room steward and he was the best, he took such great care of us.
Did not do an excursion, we just wanted to get off and walk to the shopping district. They made this very simple by putting a big blue line down the middle of the streets to guide us right down to the shopping area, about a mile walk and plenty of security to watch over us. We had a very enjoyable time. Got to walk off a lot of calories.
We off the boat to go shopping and was told via the cruise paperwork that cab fare to the downtown shopping district would cost $3.00 per person. When we got down to the taxi station they wanted $20.00 to take us there so I turned around and went back on board the ship, don't like to be scammed.
They are a huge upgrade from the cruises on Carnival I’ve been on. Same company or not. Just like Hilton owns 2-3 star hotels and then really nice ones. Glad you had fun
