cruise chosen for the ports of call. embarkation was such a disaster it is difficult to be objective regarding princess cruise line. apparently the coast guard boarded the ship prior to disembarkation, which caused a huge delay in embarkation for this cruise. unfortunately the passengers were without information, food, water and any necessary items while waiting to embark. passengers with disabilities were left to fend for themselves. the only information given during the wait was there was a delay. there was no apology or compensation for the disaster of embarkation.

the theater is too small to accommodate all the passengers even in 2 seatings. the theater has 750 seats and the ship has over 3000 passengers

the ports of call were great. the south pacific was as expected. hot and humid! the french polynesian countries are very expensive. the scenery is beautiful. american samoa was a pleasure. the weather was very cooperative during the cruise.
