Enjoyable cruise. Cruise director and his staff were terrific. Captain appeared and spoke several times. Crown and Anchor events were great- had an extra ice skating demonstration with questions and answers as well as free cocktails.    Dining room service was disappointing as was dinner at specialty restaurant (Chops). Buffet was fine but shortage of service there. Hours end at (:30 which is too early. Ports are OK except for private island at Labadee which is great especially since they now dock and you do not have to tender.

Ship is in fine form for one that sailed in 2007. Cruise staff was super except we never saw the Cruise Director. Did have one incident in the watch boutique. Beware, if you want price matching be sure to take a picture of the item and the serial number and get written confirmation of the price. Wait staff was excellent. Food was standard Princess, but no lobster tail on this short cruise. Had a crew drill at 9:30AM, which resulted in only one buffet . The line went out to the pool. Poor planning! Could not attend Captain's Circle party at 7PM because we had early dinner and there was only one instead of the usual two (early and late).

Favorite part was the ship itself. Itinerary not exciting but knew that up front. Food was fair. Food portions large for cruise ship. cruise director staff very good.
