We like the smaller ports of La Paz and Loreto. We have all done the Mexican Riviera and wanted to introduce the gulf to those that had not been. Some in our group (14) saw whales, dolphins, a turtle, flying fish and 4 went on a whale shark encounter. Everyone that took excursions enjoyed them. We will do this itinerary again. We are all CA residences and any time we do not have to fly, it is a reason to cruise!

Both embarkation and disembarkation went quickly and smoothly. We enjoyed the food, entertainers and service. We missed having speaker/lecturer/historian or naturalist. All but 2 couples had balconies. We prefer fixed seating, so had two tables for 6 and rotated.

Princess has the best rewards program, 2 couples were Elite, 3 Platinum, 2 Ruby. We are booked on Jan 3,'18 Star Princess to Hawaii and Alaska on Grand June 5'18.
