I'll show you what you can get up to whilst at sea, the daily programmes, what's included in the Princess Plus and Premiere packages and help you decide if they would be worth it for you, all meals reviewed including speciality dining, all menus shown, entertainment in the evenings, my day in Ensenada Mexico with lots of tips and ideas that won't break the bank, wine tasting event on Ruby Princess, an unfortunate issue with the excursions desk, all the disembarkation information / immigration process on arrival into San Francisco, transfers to San Francisco International, my flight home to London with Virgin Atlantic and my very happy reunion with family after 20 nights away from home before my final reflections on this epic trip.
