Review summary

Princess is a great Cruise Line. However, our only disappointment was with our Stateroom being so outdated and smelly. Ports of call were interesting and educational. Lots of great activities on the Ship very little for children to do. If this Ship has had updates and renovations it certainly has not been with the mini-suites. Porr value for the money. Did not look forward to returning to it every night as couch, etc were outdated, dirty and smelly. Carpet dirty as well.

Gave a 2 Star because of our mini-suite. Carpet dirty, furniture (couch, chair, etc.) very dirty and smelly. 10 day cruise and carpet vaxumed only once. Looks like Stateroom has not been upgraded in quite sometime. Couch so dirty did not want to sit on it! Only disappointing part of the cruise.

Cabin / Stateroom

Couch, chairs and carpet very dirty. Look and smells like they have not been replaced and/or cleaned in quite sometime. Couch worn and very smelly. Carpet vacuumed only once in our 10 day cruise. Suite definitely needs some upgrades. Couch so dirty and smelly we were already he save about sitting on it. Only bad part of cruise. Did not look forward on return to out Suite at night. Amenities were so, so!

Ship tip

Princess is good. This was our second Princess cruise. Everything great except our mini-suite. Is a shame we pay so much for the Suite and get so little for our value.
