Third time on Princess-many other cruises for us on Royal Carribean, Norwegian and Crystal. Pretty good food overall-afternoon tea definitely worth it though service could be improved-not attentive at beginning then rushing diners at end. Friendly overall ship service, smallish casino.

7 day Mexican trip allows absurdly small amount of time in port, especially Cabo which requires long lines for tenders.

Anytime dining rules are silly, you must call a day ahead for a reservation, then find out only certain hours are available to make the call which must be early in the day, then try again to find all spots already booked on literally the 3rd day in a row you try for a reservation. So you wait for a table.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Large closet small balcony comfier bed on Crown than the rock hard one on Grand. Not enough electrical outlets as usual. Lots of noise from pool deck one level up when late night party vibrates through the ceiling. Toilet got plugged up but they quickly fixed it. Efficient room steward.
