Review summary

Great trip, except for the shady charges by Princess. They're out to get every penny out of your wallet. It's hard to enjoy your vacation when you feel like you're being constantly ripped off by the company.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

The supposed "unlimited" drink package is a sham. What they don't tell you is that there are MANY limitations, and you end up paying for most of your drinks, despite having the package. It's completely dishonest and really made me never want to cruise with this company again. When I tried to rectify the situation with the front desk, they basically told me "too bad." Ripping off your customers is bad business.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

There wasn't much in the way of activities on this ship.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

The bartenders on this ship were worse than any I've encountered. Every one of the bar staff was Filipino, and they were (except for two nice ones) miserable, unfriendly and rude.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Good layout.

Ship tip

Watch your bill, daily. Princess seems to tack on all sorts of charges and just hopes you don't notice. Once again, this is the number one turn off for me. I'm on vacation, and I don't like feeling like the company is fleecing me at every turn.
