Review summary

I feel the ship was not ready for sailing as so many things were not in working order.  They upgraded ship and let the little things  ( like public bathrooms that didn't work outside the dining rooms, and all over the ship. You couldn't wash hands and this went on the whole 14 days. Some bathrooms were just shut down. Many of the room controls  in staterooms were not working but as soon this was noted  this was taken care of .  This is not Princess. I have been on many of Princess ships and never one that had so much wrong that was not corrected in a few days.  I feel they (Princess) only cared about the upgrades.

We were on the Caribbean in February and the ship had all the same bathroom issues then. The ladies room by the club up top always had overflowing toilets...every night. Obviously there's an issue with the sewage system that was not corrected with the upgrades.

We are headed out on this ship on June 6, so hopefully they get things squared away. We have sailed on the Royal Princess so it will be hard to beat that one.
