Nice Minisuite, good location apart from a staff door being opposite, was very loud and constantly being open and banging shut.  The cabin itself was of nice size and was reasonably clean, as mentioned the carpet needed replacement and the balcony could have done with a clean, some of the bed linen although clean had holes and as frayed.  Plenty of space to spread out though and always nice to have a bath to relax in :)

Go and see the Queen Mary 2 if you can what a fantastic experience.

Los Angeles

Wished we booked the dolphin tour now as located right on the dock.  Nice area to walk round, plenty of places to drink and eat and do a little bit of shopping, next time would probably go to the beach as we heard it was very nice.

Cabo San Lucas

Tour cancelled, nothing else to do and wasn't venturing off doing anything independently :( dirty and grubby and didn't feel safe!

Puntarenas (Puerto Caldera)

Spanish Galleon Harbour Tour, 2 hour sail round to the old city, very nice a little warm, the boat needed more shade, reasonably priced, snack and drink received, would go on this tour again.

Good but just a money making scam! Over $200 for the photos for a family of 4.  Needed more time to interact with the dolphins in smaller groups.

Very good experience at the turtle farm but not a lot of time to view everything, picking up the little turtles was a fantastic experience. Would definitely go back if they gave you additional time here. Tour felt very rushed and we back 20minutes early than quoted time.

Kids club - the indoor prison box, my son now too old for Princess Pelicans was looking forward to his first experience of shockwaves, but was highly disappointed as there was no outdoor space, no windows and limited space, so he only went a few times, I believe this again is down to the addition of the extra cabins at the back of the ship?Next time I would consider doing the Dolphin Swim here as it is literally located right on the dock, we tried to book in independently only to find they were fully booked for that day :( 

San Juan Del Sur - cancelled due to sea conditions we were unable to tender in

Puntarenas - you really need to book a tour here if you want to get off the boat as there is nothing other than a few local crafty type stalls or a black sand dirty beach.
