Review summary

Princess should improve the food quality & guests services. This will be my first & last cruise on Princess. Royal Caribbean was so much better.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Terrible, long queues, Princess Cruises should implement staggered boarding times like Royal Caribbean.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Only the specialty restaurants were good. The other main dining rooms and buffets were just barely passable.

Broadway production shows and music trivia were good.

Entertainment

As above

Ship Quality

They were okay.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

It was larger & definitely more comfortable than the normal balcony stateroom.

Ship tip

Don't go on Princess. Go for Royal Caribbean instead. Much better food & service. Also the ships are newer. a
