Review summary

Great itinerary. I was expecting more from Princess. Maybe the ship was too old. And maybe because we have a lot to compare with. We had a good time anyway.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Not too interesting.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

In a 15 days cruise we had only 2 shows. The rest were just one person show. Singers, Magician (once)

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The service was excellent. From all of them.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Evidently the ship shows her age. This is our first cruise with Princess. Maybe other ships are better.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

It needs a "facelift". The size is good and it was clean. But it shows old age.

Ship tip

Go into another Princess ship.

Ports of call

Hilo, Hawaii

4 out of 5

Hilo is amazing. Since my husband couldn't walk too much (surgery) we looked for easy excursion, which it took us to shopping places mostly. We wanted to see the Island, no to shop.

Honolulu, Oahu

4 out of 5

Of course, the easy excursions are not the best. They took us to Pearl Harbor, which is great, for 3 hours. Thankfully after that we went to visit more of the Island.

Kahului, Maui

5 out of 5

Easy excursions were sold out. We went out to the Port and took a taxi. The best idea. We went where we wanted.

Ensenada, Mexico Did not visit port

No interest. Besides, we arrived very late. It was dark. No a good idea to walk around when is dark. Being there before.

Currently on the Ruby. Horrendous with Dine my way ITS DINE THEIR WAY. Rushed dinning princess favourites limited to nonexistent. In room safe without handle unable to use hairdryer because it won’t come out of cradle. Front desk asked to days ago about hairdryer not believing Room Stewart and I. Still not fixed. Changed ports with deletion of port. Lastly watch your cruise account. Blatantly charged for two drinks when one ordered. Guest services tried to blame the customer. Why have the “creepy” tags if the majority of the crew do not use. Creepy by them knowing where you are at all times.
