We just finished sailing on a 10 day Mexican cruise out of San Francisco and had a great time.
Embarkation was a breeze. Since we live close we just took an Uber to the port. We arrived around 10:45 and were onboard in less than 30 minutes. We had time to kill so we went to DaVinci's for lunch and had a great start to our cruise. Afterwards we toured the ship on our own and while it is a 20 year old vessel and it does have rust stains here and there overall I thought the ship was in great shape and a pleasure to be on.
We were in our room at 1 and our luggage arrived around 2 so no issues there. You can see the room description below.
Love the Mini-Suites on Princess. The extra room and more importantly the larger bathroom with tub (my wife's preference) is well worth the upcharge. The rooms do need some work though as the sofa and outdoor furniture need to be replaced. The rest of the room was great.
Have been here before so took a taxi down to the Old Town and walked around. Always fun for us.
Explored old town then took a taxi to the Gold Zone. Think we'll skip the Gold Zone next time as enjoy walking around old town much more.
More exploring on a beautiful day. We've snorkeled here before which was fun.
