Shipboard Entertainment with Princess Cruises
Have you checked out the September issue of Global Traveler yet? We're pleased this month to once again bring you our Cruising Issue, last published in 2019 before the pandemic left the cruising industry dead in the water for nearly two years. In March I was able to see for myself that it's happily sailing along quite nicely once again, and I've already shared some of my experiences on a Mexican Riviera cruise with Princess Cruises aboard the brand-new Discovery Princess. (Check out my GT Tested review of the cruise in our latest issue.) I've mostly described the ports of call and my shore excursions (Princess has been recognized by our readers for seven consecutive years as having the Best Cruise Ship Excursions in our annual Leisure Lifestyle Awards) in past blogs, though, so in recognition of our September theme, my blogs this month will be focusing on my shipboard experiences.

Puerto Vallarta and Beyond
Our final port of call on our Princess cruise to Mexico was Puerto Vallarta, and once again we were blessed with mild temperatures and a beautiful sunny sky. The shore excursion I'd booked promised "Rare spirits and traditions at a private countryside resort," but we first stopped in downtown PV for an opportunity to stroll the Malecón and do a little shopping.
A Taste of Mazatlán
The second port of call on our Princess cruise to Mexico in March was Mazatlán, and as with Cabo San Lucas, we were blessed with beautiful weather. Unlike Cabo, Mazatlán boasts a deep port and a modern cruise terminal, so once the ship was tied up, we were able to come and go without having to catch a tender to shore.

Farm-to-Table Lunch at Los Tamarindos
A few weeks ago I wrote about visiting San José del Cabo on a Princess Cruises shore excursion during our first port of call visit on our seven-day Mexican Riviera cruise aboard the brand-new Discovery Princess. I really only covered half of our experiences there, for after our wanderings and beer tasting in the historic town center, we bumped our way over dirt roads and along a dry riverbed to an organic oasis just a few miles from town but seemingly a world away.
