I'm always interested to know something about a reviewer to see if I can relate to them, so let me say that my DH and I are in our early 60s. This was our ninth cruise, and second on Princess. It was our first cruise on a ship this size. In the past, we have really enjoyed smaller ships -especially the R-ships. We are not hard to please and rarely have a negative thing to say about any of our previous trips. We took this trip expressly for the purpose of some relaxation and pampering.

What did we enjoy about it? We were pleased with the hotel staff, most particularly our room steward who went out of his way to anticipate our needs and make our trip better. Also the Pursers office was very helpful anytime we contacted them. We thought the food was above average and that there were many choices that were tasty. In fact, the desserts were much better than we've experienced on previous cruises.

However, this ship has been so highly rated by travelers that I have to think that something went particularly wrong with the last round trip Hawaiian cruise from LA. I can't imagine that a ship that has done the same itinerary for several years could have been so unorganized... especially on the last cruise of the season! Where do I start?

C731 - great closet and balcony; quiet hallway; needed some cosmetic help but was going into drydock at the end of our cruise. I'd select it again.
