Review summary
Princess has plans to replace bedding on its ships. This doesn't help if you have
12 nights to sleep on a collapsed mattress. Service varied from exceptional to fair.
Frequently had to leave the dining room before getting dessert to see the show.
Unless you got to the theatre 30-45 minutes before the show, you would not get a seat. The entertainment at the theatre was good to excellent
Activities were repetitive and lacked enthusiasm or imagination.
The buffet was usually very good with good flavor and variety. The main dining room food ranged from fair to very good. The Crab Shack specialty restaurant was definitely not worth the extra charge. The service was very slow and portions very poor. Some Princess repeat cruisers were disappointed with this cruise.
Having movies only outdoors on a cruise where the temperature rarely got above 60 and was windy was a negative. So you wouldn't go to the movies but the activities weren't a good substitute.
