Wow....where to start. I guess by commenting on the Itenerary which is wonderful...four beautiful ports...(and Encenada)...beautiful weather...smooth sailing. I felt that the food was a step up from other Princess Cruises that I have been on. A lot of people complain on here about the food, but face it folks, you are not going to get 5 star dining on a middle of the road cruise. I found the food average sometimes, sometimes a step up. I did appreciate the additional attention to service in the Horizon Court...service was always nice in the Dining Rooms...but the hard sell the first few days with the water and Sparkling water did get old. Pizza was better on this ship than some in the past. Like others on this site, I found the beds a bit hard, but it didn't bother me as much as some.

I am going to nit-pick a bit below, but for those of you with a short attention span...suffice it to say that it is a nice enough cruise and a great way to relax and see Hawaii.

The cabin....nice enough...typical Princess cabin.....very nice room steward, but she seemed to be somewhat scattered at times.....leaving cleaner in the room once, and rags in the sink several times. Our shower was clean when we started, but got a bit moldy by the time the cruise was over. She also tried to charge us for water that was never put in our room before we got there, but accepted my word that it was never there... She was nice though, very pleasant, and always worked around our very erratic schedule. We had several room issues that were not her fault...one being that we had a big wet spot in our floor for 4 days...and they were painting above our balcony early in the cruise and scraped a lot of crud onto our balcony as well as splattered our chairs with white paint....our room steward tried to deal with cleaning it as best she could, but it was still a dirty balcony for most of the cruise. I did bring both issues to the purser's desk and the wet spot and leak were finally addressed.....the balcony wasn't.
