Only San Francisco Round Trip ship, no reason to excel

Cabin: Oceanview (obstructed view)

Ship is old but in excellent condition. Service from crew in staff was excellent. Entertainment was the worst we have experienced in 30 years of cruising. There was only one very old and tired production show "The British Invasion" which Princess has been running for at least 10 years. The solo singers on other show nights tried hard but were not even up to Las Vegas Lounge quality; the magician concentrated on card tricks ( old, cheap) and sawed a woman in half, that's all. The Mexican trio in the Piazza were like some I"ve heard in a bar in the afternoon in Mazatlán.

The ship did ru9n some current movies in the Princess Theater on some safternoons. The Cultural lecturers on Whales; Mexican History; etc were excellent.

The meals were average or less. On Several nights the beef was so tough that our table and ones near us sent it back , and afyer a second try, we switched to fish. On one day, the Clam Chowder had no clams at all. I asked the Maitre'd why, and he said perhaps the cook forgot to add them.
