This was our first cruise with Princess Line, and were thoroughly pleased. A representation of all age groups were present but definitely weighted to an older group. Embarkation and disembarkation went smoothly. From the North East we had an early flight home (11:45 AM) and were concerned about disembarkation however it went smoothly. The Port is about a Half hour from LAX and traffic is always an issue from the ship to LAX. Cab fare was $59 from the ship. We stayed at Hilton Airport the night before Departure and shuttled back to the Airport to get a shuttle to the ship. The Ship's service throughout the ship especially in Dining area and Cabin area were excellent. In Hilo we toured with Ricky's Tours which I would highly recommend and took ship's tours in other Ports which were good and a bit $$.

At first I was concerned with the days at sea, but with activities and enrichment talks they passed all to quickly.
