Princess Mexican Riviera Cruise Reviews

We had never cruised before this trip. We have many friends that cruise regularly, some with over 30 cruises. Several of our friends cruised on this ship in the past year and a half. They convinced us this was the ship for us. Why this ship? We love live music. This cruise had 2 piano players, 2 bands, one solo guitarist, 2 violinists, and a jazz trio. The music was great. The jazz trio, ...

We choose Princess because it sailed out of San Francisco. We were able to take the Amtrac train out of Fresno, CA at 6:00 AM and were in front of the Buffet at 11:30 AM. Embarkation was the easiest of all our cruises. Luggage taken right from the Uber along the curbside. Every sea day was a hour practice on the steel drums for 30 shipmates. Leader of the drums, Wilson, was great. Much ...

Princess did a great job with staffing. I made memories for a lifetime with various crewmembers stellar service. The shows were okay. Yes, quite dated in some cases. Ashley Rose Smith is a treasure with her singing and ability to keep a somewhat sedate crowd interested especially in her ABBA show. Sudarmo in International Cafe-amazing!! Rhoneil, our waiter. Well we never do set dining but when we ...

Travelled with Princess in earlier times and had not a good experience overall. The Hawaii destination did inspire us to use the company again and taste their latest trading style. Although we found lots of improvements on board, we still find the basic missing with much frustration in this matter. Having worked all my life in the catering industry in London's 4 & 5 star Hotels, found the service, ...

The ship is terrific, the crew is wonderful and helpful, the ports are fun with lots of things to do. The entertainment was exceptional. We loved the cruise and will do it again in the future. The one problem our group of nine had is that three of us have to eat gluten or daily free for medical reasons. The main dining room was perfect in how they handled this. We never got ill from any ...

Ship was very nice. Food was a little over the top to fancy at some restaurants like chilled soup or very small portions at some of the restaurant. That being said, there was some restaurants that were very good a few healthy portions. I thought the activities that they provided on board were OK but some of the late night dancing and parties should’ve been held a little earlier for some of the ...

We live in Southern California and got a great deal on a balcony room and booked this trip prior to my husbands unexpected quadruple bypass. We didn't cancel the cruise in hopes that my husband was well enough to go. It turns out 7 weeks post surgery we made it on the cruise, as my husband wanted to gain weight at the all you can eat buffets and fine dining's on this cruise and he did. First ...

We chose this cruise because it was round trip from San Pedro, Ca - we did not have to fly to board the ship. Easy embarkation and debarkation. The most positive experience of/on this cruise were the terrific crew members. They were all extremely friendly, helpful, and smiling all the time. They made you feel very welcome. We were in a Club Class Mini Suite, Dolphin Deck. Our steward, ...

With so many older and smaller ships falling victim to the swinging axe during and after the pandemic, I wanted to fulfil a lifetime wish to see the original Panama Canal before the cruise ships all got too big to fit. This was the opportunity. It was actually the final leg of the annual Round-the-World cruise, and so the ship was only about half full (if that). I could see that many of the ...

This was was the second of our B2B cruises. When we originally booked it, it was not a themed cruise so we didn't actually get into it as some of the others aboard. Since we had booked the trip before this & we came all the way from Florida figured we might as well take both since it was our 1st time going out of LA. Embarcation was very fast and easy. Cabin was Penthouse Suite R6** midship ...
