We chose this cruise because we had never been to the islands of Aruba, Bonaire & Curacao before. We arranged all our airport transfers and excursions with Princess and all covered the highlights and best of what the island had to offer - from a tour of the island and time at the beach in Aruba to a distillery and aloe farm tour on Curacao. But I would say the highlight was our catamaran ride and marine life snorkeling! I would highly recommend any of the excursions we took through Princess. The buses used for the tours were comfortable, clean and air conditioned. We met a few couples aboard during anytime dining and ended up participating with them in several of the activities. I didn't see many younger people, but we cruised the first 9 days in December when kids are in school. We enjoyed the 24 hr. cafe and coffee bar for specialty non-alcoholic drinks and the service there was impeccable no matter what time the day or night we frequented it. As for the entertainment, the magician was not only mesmerizing and entertaining as well, but also extremely comical. The orchestra and dance company that performed were well rehearsed and talented.Some of the best entertainment aboard a cruise ship we've had the pleasure of attending. Everything about embarkation & disembarkation went smoothly - even when snow hit the Ft. Lauderdale area when we arrived back.
