This cruise turned out to be a huge disappointment. The weather was poor and that caused us itinerary problems, but Princess did a particularly poor job of adjusting. We were unable to land on Princess Cay due to weather. Rough seas) and consequently spent an extra day at sea. We were given a credit of $15.00 as compensation. Not nearly adequate in my estimation.

After another day at sea, we arrived it Grand Cayman Island where we were forced to land at Spott's Bay on the "other" side of the island from Georgetown. The tour desk did not alert us to the fact that all tour companies move their entire operation to Spott's Bay and consequently we paid a $20.00 taxi fee to go to Georgetown and try to book a local tour to no avail.

Our next stop, Costa Maya, turned sour as we were three hours late arriving due to "generator trouble" and then ended up having our tour to the ruins cut short. We had booked a tour to two ruin sites lasting 8 hours and ended up only going to one site. The net result was a five hour bus ride to spend an hour and a half at one ruin site. We were misinformed that the ship would delay departure from Costa Maya to accommodate those of us on the tour which would run as planned. Princess adjusted the cost by $30.00 ( Original cost=$109.00).
