Embarkation was very smooth, Princess is organized! At first we were surprised at the age of the ship. We stayed in a mini suite and the sofa was very worn, we did learn the ship is going to be renovated in 2018. The food was delicious and the entertainment was the best we experienced on a Princess trip. Dan the cruise director and was excellent at his job! The entertainment and activities were also above average. Every trivia game was standing room only and the liars trivia was hysterical. We had same time dining and enjoyed the experience, the servers were attentive and good with recommendations for the evening meal..

Having been to San Diego we decided to go on our own we did pick up the trolley and thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
