We are seasoned cruise people - this being number 15 for us. We have also cruised to Hawaii from California before on RCCL - Radiance of the Seas - NEVER again will we sail Princess. While we made our own fun, and enjoyed time alone and away from home there are just not enough activities that are interesting.
The ship was clean and well taken care of - no complaints there. The cabins are much smaller than we are used to for a balcony. If you opt for a balcony - there will be no comfortable place to sit in your room. If the weather cooperates you do have your balcony - it's a chance you take. The bathrooms are much smaller than RCCL or Carnival.
The food was good - although we don't particularly like anytime dining - it gave us no opportunity to make the usual bonds with our wait staff - this was particularly disturbing to hubby as he prefers to have his martini waiting for him when he sits down to dinner.
