We have been on the Princess line for the Pacific Coastal in the past. We chose this cruise because it went to Monterrey instead of Santa Barbara. We were not disappointed. This is the largest ship we have been on and it was full. The weather was perfect at all ports, The Cruise staff were superb and the menu excellent.
We did not take any excursions as we have been to all ports many times but enjoyed the ability to take long walks since the weather was so perfect.
Though the ship was full for the most part days at sea were not to crowded anywhere except the piazza if you wanted specialty coffee.
