I had an amazing time on my cruise with Princess. I would definitely recommend this cruise to other people but for me it did seem like a long time to be on a cruise for. The cruise was 15 days long, which at first seems like a good amount of time but it actually seemed very long. There are a lot of at sea days and after a while they do get kind of old.

First let me say I went on this cruise with my family, I'm a 20 year old college student. The age range for this cruise was mainly elderly people with very few young people but that didn't bother me much. I still enjoyed the time that I had. But because of the older ages the club on board would not get crowded and basically anything after 10 was dead. Not a lot of night life. Also the hot tub would close around 11 or 11:30 so you could do late night swimming but only in the pools.

We disembarked late from San Francisco because of a crash from the bus to a truck right outside the port. Crew had a hard time getting back to the ship, luckily I was already in line and not driving when that happened. It is crazy getting to the port because the Embarcadero is such a busy street and it's hard to find parking. My family and I took a limo which made it easy for us because we didn't have to worry about any of that and since it was three girls and my dad we had plenty of luggage. Getting on the ship was easy after checking in and getting our cruise cards. We quickly located our room and it was so clean and was a good size. We had an indoor cabin and it was in the middle of the ship, very good because you couldn't feel the ship move as much. We disembarked at 6 instead of 4 which was okay. It was nice sailing out to all the city lights and it was a clear night. We went under the bridge which was spectacular. The welcome aboard party was fun but chilly. Read more
