Excellent table service. Food just ok. Lack of menu choices in main dinning rooms.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Compared to other ships we sailed on , this one had the least amount of shows with dancing. The theater was to small to accommodate the number of passengers on board so you had to be seated at least 45 to 60 minutes in advance to get a seat.

Ship tip

This was the first bad experience we had with Princess. In general we have high regard for this Cruise Line .However I would not recommend this particular ship.

This is Princess’s private island. Not much to do there except swim in the ocean or relax on the beach. A buffet lunch was included.

Puerto Limon, Costa Rica Did not visit port

Ruff water prevented docking the Ship.This meant an extra day at sea. Since no other port was added in it’s place we got screwed out of one of the best ports.
