“Family reunion SF to Mexico in 10days”
4 stars
Ship: Grand Princess
Cruise Date: 02/11/2020
Destination: Mexico
The new cruise connection in SF is really an improvement over our last Cruise where traffic had to be stopped on the Embarcadero. While the Grand Princess is a little shop worn compared to the newer ships in her class, it served us well and we were able to take advantage of many of the new features of Medallion service that will be completely a part of this this ship in March. Our service was flawless even though many of the service providers were on their first contract. We often had to remind the dinning room that even though we were in a room that had plenty of dinning on request, we had a reserved table for our family of 6 and desired our consistently good waiter and her knowledge of our particular needs. One member was a powerchair user that did not desire to climb steps, Our art excursion at Puerto Vallarta was exceptional, the long excursion to Colima and Comala was perfunctory. Getting on and off the ship at the ports was exceptional. Bar staff didn't know what a dirty martini was (a martini with oliver juice). Our handicap room was perfect for us. This ship was the oldest (1997)in its group and sometimes came across as little threadbare. Our previous cruise on the Ruby to Alaska was exceptional with a much newer ship and no signs of wear.
