Took my mom on the same ship 2 years ago to Alaska and we loved it then and we loved it on this trip to the Mexican Riviera as well. Plus it made it so easy for her to be on the same ship. We honestly love the job Princess does and really do not see a reason to change! I am not saying everything is 100% but for the challenges they face keeping such a wide variety of people happy , they do a darn good job! I think some people look for negatives in whatever they do or where ever they go and in that case I am sure you can find them, but for us cruising is an excellent experience and certainly makes for a relaxing vacation.

We got a Princess transfer at the LA airport to the ship and it is the way to go. Cheaper than a taxi and easy way to get your luggage handled. Lots of Princess agents in the baggage area. We flew from Denver to LA and arrived and departed at 12:30 and had no problems either way. Plenty of time to get to the airport on disembarkation. Customs a breeze.

We did Dolphin Trainer for a Day in Puerto Vallerta and it was great for my mother and myself. Worth every penny, in fact I consider it a deal! Super friendly people and lots of time to inteact with the dolphins and sea lions. Good lunch provided. Lots of water available through out day and lots of towels. I wore a sun guard long sleeve shirt and it was a good idea a water a bit chilly.

Cabin Review

Dolphin Deck, room 612, mini suite. Lots of closet room and plenty of shelves and drawers for 2 people. Bathroom big enough. Water always hot! I am 5'8" and shower fine for me. Beds comfy, we did add eggshell topper. Pillows good for me. Heard very little noise. Laundry a bit far away. Love the deck. Had door open at night to hear water. Safe easy to use.
