B2B2B over 21 days to get into some nicer weather. 40+ sailings with Princess and the fantastic friendly crew, food and entertainment made up for a surprisingly high number of rude fellow passengers. The price point for these has cruises opened the door for folks who do not have much respect for the event of cruising and their overall sloppy appearance and less than acceptable behavior in the dining rooms, theatre, and most public spaces left much to be desired. Lots of loud, obnoxious, and unrefined people of all cultural backgrounds without manners challenged my patience and civility. Too many showed contempt for those who provide service and treated them like servants---not nice! We learned our lesson to avoid the Mexico exclusive itineraries and 4 day cruises in the future. That being said there were still a good number of nice folks onboard who felt the same as we did and it was nice to interact with them.

Three phenomenal production shows, all new to us, were among the highlights of our experience. The enrichment lectures on whales were absolutely terrible with presenters poorly reading from notes. They were not experts on the subject matter and it showed. The female of the duo was particularly inept. Princess needs to vet their presenters more thoroughly. Loved comedian Steve Caorette...a super routine. Thoroughly enjoyed mariachi trio "Los Brilliantes" daily in the piazza. Magician/comic R.J. Harris was also very entertaining. Cruise director Angela and her staff did a good job with the trivia games and other staples of Princess entertainment...Marriage Game, Yes/No Game, and others.

Enjoyed the 2-for-1 Happy Hour in the Salty Dog Pub aka the Wheelhouse Bar on several occasions...good music and fabulous 24K Margaritas made by bartender Bill. Read more
