We have been on the 2016 Pacific Princess World Cruise and this experience, the friends we made, and the ship's "family" atmosphere made us come back for this Christmas / New Years cruise. Our expectations were truly met: We came to a place we new well and which did not require an exercise outfit to walk from the front to the back, we sat on a table with nine other world cruisers and we enjoyed the ship's excellent staff who we still knew well and who also knew us well from the cruise before. We also enjoyed the smaller ports this vessel can go to especially like St. John's, Bequia and Virgin Gorda. As we were the only boat at these islands we felt less like tourists and more like explorers ! Ready to cruise again on this little gem and thanks to everybody who made this such a great experience!
