My wife and best friend of 35 years and I are avid cruisers. We believe that cruising is the best vacation in the world. How good can it get - spend days cruising the oceans on a Princess Cruise luxury ship and then every day or so, disembark to explore and shop in an exotic land and experience another wonderful cultures first hand; guided by the daily flyer ‘The Princess Patter’ you can enjoying a myriad of wonderfully organized on-ship activities and shore adventures targeted to a variety of individual ‘likes’ and age groups; enjoying an exquisite dining experience with an international cuisine and menu to tantalize any discerning pallet; romantic evenings filled with entertainment galore ranging from quiet, romantic interludes in a luxury ambience to-die-for while being fussed over by an attentive, detail focused staff who call you by your name after the first visit; and partaking in an extraordinary menu of cocktails that include more than 57 different martinis! How good can it get?
Paying attention to the Princess-provided, online cruise personalizer checklists, and indicating your choices for a copious number of tailored experience choices e.g. suite bath robes or a mattress-topper to enhance your sleeping comfort, dining choice to name a few of many, all designed to ensure your tailored personal comfort, is sure to contribute to an exceptional cruise experience. To ignore the cruise personalizer opportunity to tell Princess of your likes is sure to detract from the cruising experience and means that a robes will not be waiting for us upon our arrival in the cabin.
We have cruised with Princess for a total of 161 days, on 20 occasions in the past 7-years, experiencing 37 ports on 10 Princess ships. A testament to how much we have enjoyed the Princess pampering experience is exemplified our 3 future cruises already in the cue for 2015/2016 and we’re planning yet another for the holiday season-2016, all with Princess. Our 2015 Princess Holiday Cruise will make 168- days total sailing with Princess and we have 14 more days on 2-future cruises already in the cue.
Having cruised in excess of 24 cruises, we have a rich experience to draw from for comparison. Princess Cruises always, repeat always provides a cruising accommodation that is second to none. In a word, excellent!
Excellent, efficient & convenient
Having been to Puerto Vallarta on numerous occasions, our port time is spent walking the shopping zone and sightseeing.
The Mazatlan is better experienced from the vantage point of a riding tour or participation in a Princess adventure recommendation because the historic district is a 20 minute ride away. In the city square is a team of English speaking information volunteers that were very helpful in guiding our sightseeing.
This was the 5th time visiting Cabo San Lucas and have always found the Cabo experience to be exceptional. We like it so much we have even booked a condominium in the November timeframe in Los Cabos to continue our Cabo adventure.
