Over pleased with all aspects of the cruise which we boarded in Vancouver Canada and through the Panama Canal and ended up at Ft. Lauderdale. Food was very good, even though we did eat mostly in the cafeteria. Entertainment was quite good as well, thoughtly liked the ports that we visted.

Our biggest complaint however was the Princess tendering into two ports the first being Cabo San Lucas and the second in Costa Rica I believe. In Cabo the Mexican tenders were fast and loaded and unloaded quite efficiently however Princess tenders seem to take so long to load and unload. In Costa Rica If I remember correctly a lot of tours were delayed and at sailing time, there was still a long line up of people trying to get back on board. Again using Princess tenders, they loaded up a tender and then we had to wait for about 15 minutes for the next tender to arrive. There should of been tenders waiting to load since Princess knows how many people that needed to be returned. Lots of people were quite upset about the delays and the time.

The ship's condition was in pretty good shape and crew did a good job of keeping it clean. There was a noticable odor on deck 6 near a washroom which was a bit of an issue but overall we were very pleased with the trip.
