This was our 3rd Princess Cruise, 10th cruise altogether. We were a little skeptical after reading so many negative reviews, but are so glad we went ahead with the cruise. My husband and I traveled with 2 other couples and none of us had any issues and completely enjoyed our time. We had all been to these ports several times (except for Loreto) so the goal was not the ports, just a relaxing cruise that was a tremendous value for the price.

The food was delicious...always some things you like more than others, but nothing that wasn't very good and beautifully presented. I especially like their soups and souffles. The main courses were fine too and some of the desserts to die for! We ate very seldom in the buffet...breakfasts and dinners in the Da Vinci with traditional seating. Occasional snacks at the International Cafe are convenient and tasty.

Our waiter and his assistant were the best we have had on any cruise - friendly, competent, helpful - just couldn't have hoped for more. They both deserved their extra tip. Read more
