The draw of this cruise was the convenience of Los Angeles from Vancouver. Have done this cruise before on the Ruby Princess, the 7 day quick cruise is a nice mini vacation.

This was my 4th cruise, and 3rd with Princess.

We purchased the All Inclusive Drink Package over 6 months before departure and Princess decided to change the package prior to sailing without disclosing the changes to our package with us until day 2.

We tried to reason with Victoria and Oliver on day 2 of the cruise while on board but they were useless and quoted the company's right to change their policy at any time. We gave them every opportunity to make the situation right but they chose to stick to their guns. Read more
