Star Princess Review

Additional details
I chose this ship because of the itinerary. I wanted to see South America especially the end of the world.
First the good things...Great Food, friendly staff , comfortable cabin.
But...many of the stops were at container ports with strict security so just walking off the ship was often not possible.
Cabin Review
Oceanview (obstructed view)
Clean, pleasant , with a too soft mattress , linens of good quality.
Room steward excellent. Quiet and comfortable , not too far from the elevator.My cabin was forward , one closer to midship would have made navigating to venues easier.
Port Reviews
Los Angeles
Flew in , went to the ship, embarking was simple and fast
Cabo San Lucas
not a good port for ships this is a resort community for all inclusive travelers. Puerto Vallarta is a much better stop, it is a well situated cruise port , easy on off the ship, lots to see and do.
Lima
a good choice of Peruvian hand & machine made goods
Lima
ancient cultures well explained
Lima
usual statues as seen in many Latin American cities
Lima
enjoyed the shopping, museum very good narration of what we were seeing.
a good selection of baby alpaca items with reasonable pricing
Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego)
At first I thought there were lots of penguins but there were a lot more to come at other stops
Stanley
This was the reason I chose this cruise...It is sparsely populated and quite barren with strong winds , choppy seas and a very long tender ride.I wanted to see it so am glad I went
Puntarenas (Puerto Caldera)
Took a Cab to Manuel Antonio Park. Great beach..iguanas , parrots
Montevideo
the high lite of my trip...pleasantly surprised. More than met my expectations.
Buenos Aires
Big city , traffic jams. Finally went to the airport and waited for my flight
