Review summary

Princess caters to the rich. Merchandise on board is very expensive (compared to other cruise lines). All activities charge more than any other cruise line I have encountered. Food was bland and entertainment was average. Customer service and others were not on the same page. Announcements and daily reports were not on the same page. App didn’t work very well. Medallions caused as many problems as were convenient. I don’t have many positives for this cruise.

Nice place, but taxis and rental cars are a rip off. Sloth and monkey sanctuaries are worth it.

Having to ferry to and from the ship and port was very slow. Excursions were great.

Don’t book Oceania, Regent Seven Seas, Virgin Voyages or even Celebrity if you think Princess was expensive.

Only been on Princess once.....and that was enough....we got in late to Belize and missed our excursion to the ruins....tell me how does a ship arrive late to a port where you just anchor off shore......
