Dawn was our first ship and would sail with her again.  Thanks for the review.

Thank you for the wonderful review.  My wish is for total healing.  I had an accident 2 years ago and broke my leg in 3 places.  I am walking but slow.   Can’t wait to read your port adventures.

Thanks for the wonderful review.  We are definitely adding this itinerary to our future cruise list.

We sailed from Tampa port last April.  We used a taxi from airport to hotel.  Our hotel arranged transportation to port. Upon returning, we had another company transfer us to St. Pete Beach.  While in Tampa, we used Uber and had no problems.  If you staying close to port and just a couple of you, take Uber.

Thank you for the wonderful review.  We are taking this cruise in 2021. I haven’T started planning yet, but will take your advice.  Our 1st  time to Hawaii.

It looks like the biking was fairly easy on the Coastal Trail?  How about in Astoria ?  Appears to be the perfect trip and the weather looks wonderful.

This trip is on our short list.  Thanks for sharing.  I love what you have written.

Hi,  Not a grill to order but specialty items.  Enjoy, we had a great time on her recently.

We were on this cruise and 1st Time with Princess.  I loved the ship and crew.  Can’t wait for our next adventure.

Flying to London in4 weeks!  Can’t wait to read about your experience.  Then cruising the British Isles.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful cruise with us!

Thank you for the great review.  You appear to be an experienced cruiser.  We were on Brilliance last April.

Hi, thanks for all your responses.  This will be the 1st visit to Scotland for the 4 of us.  We have an avid golfer in our group.  Not sure if we should take tour to St. Andrews or go into Edinburgh.  This stop will be at the end of our holiday.  My interests are the Royal Mile and the Royal Yacht.  I am also interested in the HOHO.  

tartanexile what  do you think for first timers?

Hi, We will be arriving on Princess Pacific to the Rosyth port on 08/23.  Is there anyway to get to downtown that is semi-easy?  I contacted Princess and they stated that there is no shuttle.  Will taxi's be available or is it best to connect with a train or bus?  It looks like it is about 15 miles.  Thank you in advance!

Hi,  We are a little behind in planning.  Going on a Princess cruise, leaving August 17 and returning August 25 from Dover.  We are flying in 2 days prior and staying one day later so need transportation from our hotel.  Staying at the Hilton Kensington.  Will need transport to hotel and also to Dover and returns.  I have checked some of the boards and I this is my list:

Smiths

Blackberry Cars

Simplyairports

WestQuay

Am I missing any companies to check with for transportation?  Also, not exactly sure what companies transport to port listed above from posts.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the great cruise report.  The Breakaway May be in our future.  You have a beautiful family and I loved the excitement in your family journey.

Thank you very much for the detailed review.  We will be on Brilliance in 13 days. This is our first Caribbean cruise.  Looking so forward to it as we have had a long winter up north.

Lee W thank you!  We are doing a similar trip and wondering about Grand Cayman.  I am mobile but need something that is easy to enter due to a leg injury.

Thank you for the great review!  We have been on Dawn and really liked that she wasn't too large.  I would like to do this itinerary.  I am not brand loyal just book places that we want to see.  And very new to cruising.  

Great for you that you get to do more than one cruise this year!

Thank you for the great photos and review!

Thank you!  DH and I are sailing a British Isle cruise in August on her.  It is a very port intensive cruise.  It also is our 1st Princess cruise.  We love adventures.

I too was on this cruise (party of 5) and agree you captured the fun through your review and pics.  Like you, I thought the MDR food was good but we also ate twice in specialty and thought both Chops and Giovanni's were amazing.  The BOGO is a great deal.  Last day we did the Puzzle Break - a lot of fun if you like escape rooms - and the Quest game show - absolutely hilarious.  In Cozumel we did Trikes Cozumel and toured the island on three-wheeled motorcycles.  A really great cruise!

Bizi1,  I am assuming that you bought the precruise BOGO and ended up in Chops and Giovanni’s?  When do you find out what restaurants you will eat at?

Thank you and hope you had a great time!  Did you like your portexcursions?

With my time dining you can either just show up and be seated when a table is available, or call and make a reservation. 

Most shows did have an early and later showing. The comedy show early show was family friendly and the late was adult rated.

Live music was pretty good for the most part, the headline acts were great.

Thank you very much!

This is wonderful!  How does my time dining work?  Do you have two options to eat?  Do you have to make a reservation?  There are 6 in our party.  I definitely want to view going under the bridge.  It looks like they two times for any shows.

Also, how is the live music on the ship?
