This was our first Princess Cruise and we will sail with them again, knowing that their goal is to provide a quality cruise and to get you to spend money on the ship.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Our waiter was the best, we ate like kings the entire trip. The food was perfect portions and very well prepared with an outstanding selection every meal.
Onboard Activities

Entertainment
3 out of 5
Good luck winning at the slots. They pay enough to keep you spending money and everything is on your room charge, so gambling can get out of control. The payouts stink including the additional drawings and bingo.
Children's Programs
5 out of 5
Excellent shows with top quality singers and dancers as well as the A/V staff and equipment. Don't miss any of the shows, they were all great.
Service and Staff

Did not have children
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Nice layout, We were a full ship and didn't trip over everyone. The crowded area is the Piazza where you have to pass through to go anywhere, but there are 3 floors so you can skirt around the crowd, and of course you have to go through the shopping area and casino to get to dinner or the theater.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Nice quaint cabin for two with a slightly obstructed view. The price was right and the Cabin Stewart was the best.
Ship tip
This cruise, due to the ports of call, seemed to have an older crowd than other cruises, which freed up the venues for later visits.
Took a bus ride (90 minutes) to a private beach for drinks, food, sunning and swimming. Nice staff with a good narrative of Jamaica. Falmouth seems to be a better port, with only a little panhandling from the natives, they still work for tips.
Not the fault of Princess Cruise Line, but the transportation to the off site parking was terrible. Took over an hour for them to pick us up to get our car. May be worth the extra to park at the cruise port.
so glad you enjoyed your first Princess Cruise, it took me years to convince my hubby to cruise now 10 years on he's more of an addict to cruising than I am............no doubt this will be your fist of many to come.
