Golden Princess Review 9-07










I thought this was a great cruise if its your first time to the Mexican Riviera. We were the largest ship in every port. At 109 ton we were a giant compared to NCL, RCCL, and Holland. I thought the ships layout was easy and the decor was nice.
Rooms- We had an inside cabin. Not a bad size for an inside. We had a mini bar, large closet, safe, and a nice size vanity. The room had plenty of storage for all the luggage. Pack away girls!
Food Quality- I thought it improved since the last time I was on a Princess Ship. I did not feel the alternative speciality dinning was worth the $$$$. The steakhouse was maybe worth trying at $15, but the Italian dinner for $20 was so so. I did like the hot dogs, hamburgers, and pizza at the pool deck. Main dinning was OK. The lobster had to be as tiny as a shrimp. Again the food was good but nothing to talk about.
Pools- Favorite thing about this ship!! They have over 4 pools!! All of them were beautiful and I wish I could have tried them all. At midnight we even had one to ourselves and this was common if you were a late pool person. They are open all night except when the seas are rough. Don't expect the last night they will be open. The seas will always be against you and I will show you in this video.


Activity- It had the usual from ice sculpting, line dancing, and bingo. My favorite activity was the galley tour!!! I never would have expected this to be so funny!! The chefs are hilarious and I would recommend getting their early it will be packed. You can also get your cook book signed by the executive chef. Of course I bought one!!

Bars- The nightclub is one of the best on all ships. I love how its set up with its one escalator. However, it never had more then 50 people of the 2600 passengers. It has so much potential.

Ports- We did the normally take me around in a bus tour. I would recommend the following in Puerto Vallarta -canopy flying, Mazatlan-Beach Time Golden Zone, and Cabo San Lucas -Shopping.

I would definitely go on Princess again. It was a very relaxing cruise and we met a lot of nice people. If you want a lot of activities my suggestion would be RCCL.
