My husband always wanted to go to the South Seas, but I was reluctant to be on such a long trip. However, I enjoyed it all very much, even the 14 days at sea. The embarkation and disembarkation were the smoothest of the eight cruises we've taken. Princess really takes care of you, and the crew were all friendly and at ease.

We took Princess excursions on each island except Honolulu and Maui where we had been before.The native guides were interesting and the buses ranged from quaint to modern.
