Sail Date: Oct 2005
Traveled with children

Overall: The ship was fairly clean, service was adequate. The room steward was rarely seen and often did not answer his pages. I was disappointed to see that the heavy entry door into the public bathrooms was always propped open with a doorstop by Princess. However this was unpleasant and on one occasion my child wandered into the men's room not knowing what it was. It was challenging to get her out. I think the doors should be replaced with something that is not so heavy and would create privacy and a better atmosphere.

The food was fine but the dining room hours were TOO SHORT. We had to rush each day to try to make a sit down meal, it was as if they were trying to push people into the buffet.

On our first day the time changed back one hour and this was a problem since the dining room closed for breakfast by 9:30, which was actually 8:30. The strange thing was that the ship time did not match the shore time in PT. Vallarta, so who cared? The should have left the dining room open the extra hour to accommodate guests not the crew.
