We had heard great things about Princess and liked the dates and itinerary for this trip. It exceeded our expectations by far. Crew, staff, entertainment, food, etc were all excellent. If asked one thing to improve the experience, I have nothing to offer. Highly recommend Princess cruises. Every event we did was fun or relaxing. The spa is great. The shows are great. They even swapped out entertainers at Hawaii so it was all new for the return trip. Dining options are plentiful for any and all tastes. You could eat pizza, dogs, and burgers every day if you want or you could have done dining every day. Or mix it up like we did. The cruise director was phenomenal. He really drove making it a better experience as odd as that might sound. Attending science lectures was fun and informative. Naturalist Gloeta makes you learn and laugh at the same time. Hawaiian ambassador Rowena taught us tons about the islands. It was great hearing directly from the captain and chief engineer. It was fun hearing from the nav crew and the head chef including a walk through the galley. I really appreciated the huge effort made to prevent the spread of germs. Lots of little things that add up to a healthy cruise. It was truly a perfect vacation. I cannot praise cruise director Matt and Princess cruises enough.
