Review summary

Considering the pandemic and a few hiccups the cruise, crew, food and entertainment were great.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Due to unforeseen circumstances due to Hawaii regulations the ship had to test all crew and passengers before embarking on the ship causing a delay of 2 and half hours. Thanks Princess for handling this with class.

Ports of call

San Francisco, California

5 out of 5
Loved Fisherman's Warf.

Honolulu, Oahu

3 out of 5
Booked an excursion Germaine's Luau: Upgrade Option which was cancelled and a substitution was given. Bus was one hour late resulting in us missing one hour of the show. We paid for an upgrade but had to sit near the back making it difficult for me to see. Would rather cancel an excursion than accepting another.

Kahului, Maui

5 out of 5
Found a taxi and the driver gave us a tour of the island. Great job.

Hilo, Hawaii

4 out of 5
Did an excursion was ok. Akaka Falls, Macadamia Nut Shop (very expensive)Tropical Garden Zoo.

Nawiliwili, Kauai

5 out of 5
Nice excursion. Easy Panoramic Kauai-Opaekaa Falls, Plantation & Train.

Ensenada, Mexico

3 out of 5
Booked an excursion Guadalupe Valley Winery - cancelled. Did a short visit to the tourist area.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Rough had to take a PCR test before flying. Did not give us enough time and made it to the airport with a half hour to get luggage checked and boarding. Hopefully future trips wont result in the testing (or give us enough time).
