price and convenience, local cruise. Liked princess before and like mostly princess this time, but they need to get the bugs out of the medallion, worked great to get on board. Luggage was assume they where at room by time we got on board and went straight to room. MEDALLION worked part of time, getting on board was great but then lots of people didn't use it, so in the future when everyone uses it might not be so fast. I bought the internet package, wasn't worth it. half time didn't work, always waiting, and always dropping off. when it work was ok. Food was good, some times hard to find a place to sit, this is a problem with so many people. Went to formal night, they didn't enforce it!, also had to wait for a table 30 minutes, when we did get a table there where 8 tables I could see empty, cleaned and ready for diners, why did I have to wait? no problems on cruise except couldn't get off in Cabo, due to weather. PV was a bust they had only about a dozen tents in port to shop, if you wanted to shop need a bus or taxi to go into town. Getting off was great easy luggage and customs great. Would I go again, probably. It was still pretty good, no cruise is perfect. but good times out did the bad.
good cabin and location, very noisy from the vibrations when under way, walls, tv all vibrated, only one I could stop was tv put a towel under it to stop. Also its a long walk to the bow of the ship. but close to the buffet.
port experience was great! Plenty of shops, and a food bar and drinking bar. Enjoyed it!
maybe a dozen pop up tents for shopping in port, it you wanted anything else foods alcohol, you need a taxi or bus to get into town
