Sail Date: Nov 2017
Cabin: Oceanview Obstructed

Found the restaurant and theatre very cold. Also, the anytime dining was not a very efficient as if we didn't line up at 5pm, we had to wait until 8 pm to eat! Need more restuarants for anytime dining.

Entertainment kinda died off after 9pm. There was some, but I think due to the majority being seniors it was mostly piano playing type entertainment. low key. Some nights there were deck parties which were fun. Enjoyed the Love Boat night.

We did enjoy our 1st Princess Cruise and will do another.

Cabin Review

Oceanview Obstructed

Cabin OV

We had booked an interior room but was given an Obstructed view which was ok. Didn't like the noise at 6am and 12 am one night and morning with the boats. Otherwise, room was fine. Carpets need to be removed, smell. Bed and pillows very comfortable. Great cabin steward, Michael.

Port Reviews

Aruba

Loved walking downtown, found a small beach nearby for a quick dip!

Cartagena (Colombia)

Just walked around the port area which was nice. Shopping and great coffee at Juan Valdez and good prices for buying your coffee! Loved the macaws, peacocks, toucans, and monkeys!

Fuerte Amador (Balboa)

Great port. Did a Hop on/off bus tour which was good for the value $20 to stay on bus, $25 to hop off. Downtown very congested and not worth seeing except for the other areas.

Puntarenas (Puerto Caldera)

Again, we walked around. Lots of tables just where the ship docks. Looked for free wifi and found it at restaurant, Kiosco on the front street, behind the tables of vendors. Just buy something and you can get wifi.

Puerto Vallarta

Love Mexico. Did a taxi ride in a van with another person that we booked off the ship when we walked off. $35 pp. Suppose to be 2 hours but was 4 hours. Took us to the highlights of the island and free Tequila tasting and to a beach. Mall right across the street from ship for shopping and Starbucks wi-fi.
